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 a mobile station to perform a method of connecting to the network. Media Independent Handover (MIH) procedures can be achieved because the NCMS and MIH layer can communicate through use of these primitives.
Claims32
A method of ranging for a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a mobile station (MS) Network Control and Management System (NCMS), a first primitive that indicates a ranging request;
- transmitting a ranging request containing ranging information to a base station medium access control (MAC) layer;
- and
- receiving a ranging response from the base station MAC layer.
A method of ranging for a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a mobile station (MS) medium access control (MAC) layer, a ranging request message containing ranging information;
- and
- sending, to a base station (BS) Network Control and Management System (NCMS), a first primitive that indicates a ranging request has been received.
A method of registration for a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station (BS), a registration response;
- and
- sending, to a Network Control and Management System (NCMS), a second primitive indicating registration confirmation.
A method of registration for a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a mobile station (MS) medium access control (MAC) layer, a registration request message;
- sending, to a base station (BS) Network Control and Management System (NCMS), a first primitive that indicates a registration indication;
- receiving, from the BS NCMS, a second primitive that indicates a registration response;
- and
- sending, to the MS MAC, a registration response message.
A method of registration for a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a Network Control and Management System (NCMS), a second primitive that indicates a result of a performed registration in order to receive an indication that a link setup procedure has been completed,
- wherein the second primitive is sent and received via at least one of a management service access point (M-SAP) and a control service access point (C-SAP).
