TFS1 (SDS message retransmission)

Default value: 40 millisecond

Configurable.

When the client sends a SDS OFF-NETWORK MESSAGE message.

Associated counter CFS1 (SDS message retransmission) reaches upper limit

Send a SDS OFF-NETWORK MESSAGE message.

TFS2 (SDS notification retransmission)

Default value: 40 millisecond

Configurable.

When the client sends a SDS OFF-NETWORK NOTIFICATION message.

Associated counter CFS2 (SDS notification retransmission) reaches upper limit

TFS3 (delivery and read)

Default value: 120 millisecond

Configurable.

When the client receives a SDS OFF-NETWORK MESSAGE with Disposition request type IE set to "DELIVERY AND READ".

When a SDS message display indication is received.

Send a SDS OFF-NETWORK NOTIFICATION message with Disposition type IE set to "DELIVERED" and when the MCData client has displayed the message to the MCData user, send a SDS OFF-NETWORK NOTIFICATION message with Disposition type IE set to "READ"

NOTE: Value of timer TFS3 (delivery and read) should be configured such that, when a consolidated "DELIVERED AND READ" notification is not feasible, the MCData client is able to send the "DELIVERED" disposition notification without delay.
