If the UE receives the IE in an integrity protected message, then it shall interpret the value as multiples of 320 hours. Otherwise it shall interpret the value as multiples of 1 hour.
If the network receives the IE in S1 mode, the network shall interpret the value as multiples of 320 hours, regardless whether the IE is received in an integrity protected message (e.g., an ATTACH REQUEST message or TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message (see 3GPP TS 24.301 [120])) or not. Otherwise it shall interpret the value as multiples of 1 hour.

NOTE 2: This timer value unit is not applicable to the T3412 extended value IE. If this timer value is received, the T3412 extended value IE shall be considered as not included in the message (see 3GPP TS 24.301 [120]).
