Abstract
The primitives between an upper management layer and the MAC layer within a mobile station and a base station are defined in order to specify and clarify the operations within the protocol stack layers in a broadband wireless access system to allow management of a mobile station. Media Independent Handover (MIH) procedures can be achieved because the NCMS and MIH layer can communicate through use of these primitives.
Claims27
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
- receiving, from a MS NCMS or an upper entity, a first primitive that indicates a management request;
- and
- sending, to the MS NCMS or the upper entity, a second primitive that indicates a management confirmation.
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
- receiving, from a network, a message that indicates a state change of a MAC of the mobile station;
- and
- sending, to a MS NCMS or an upper entity, a primitive that allows the MS NCMS or the upper entity to be notified of the state change of the MAC of the mobile station.
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
- establishing a unified interface to an upper layer of the mobile station for managing messages to and from at least one of a homogeneous network and a heterogeneous network;
- and
- receiving, from a MS NCMS, a primitive that allows the unified interface (MIH) to be notified of a state change of a MAC of the mobile station.
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
- receiving, from a network NCMS or an upper entity, a primitive that allows the network NCMS or the upper entity to command the state change of a MAC of a mobile station;
- and
- sending, to the MS MAC, a message that indicates a state change of the MAC of the mobile station.
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
- establishing a unified interface to an upper layer of a network for managing messages to and from at least one of a homogeneous network and a heterogeneous network;
- and
- sending, to a network NCMS, a first primitive that allows the unified interface (MIH) to command a state change of a MAC of the mobile station.
