 * UE's FSM for controlling Time Aligment command generation.
 *
 * Initially the FSM starts at idle state which transitions to Measure as soon as start is called. Measurements are
 * collected while the FSM is in Measure state. Up to MAX_NOF_MEAS are stored. The FSM uses a minimum of MIN_NOF_MEAS
 * measurements to compute the TA average. The TA command is triggered as soon as the TA average is higher than
 * TA_N_THRESHOLD. After triggering a TA command, holds in prohibit state for PROHIBIT_PERIOD_MS before start collecting
 * measurements.
