Abstract

This disclosure introduces an advancement to the error indication message to provide detailed information about errors in configurations that are arriving from the Layer 2 to the Layer 1. A method is disclosed, comprising: performing physical layer control (PHY) of a wireless signal at a Layer 1 (L1) software module; performing medium access control (MAC) of the wireless signal at a Layer 2 (L2) software module; providing an application programming interface between the L1 software module and the L2 software module for receiving L1 configuration messages and providing error codes to the L2 software module; receiving a L1 configuration message at a Layer 1 software module; and providing an enhanced error code progressively from a L1 software module to the Layer 2 (L2) software module.

A method, comprising:

performing physical layer control (PHY) of a wireless signal at a Layer 1 (L1) software module;
performing medium access control (MAC) of the wireless signal at a Layer 2 (L2) software module;
providing an application programming interface between the L1 software module and the L2 software module for receiving L1 configuration messages and providing error codes to the L2 software module;
receiving a L1 configuration message at a Layer 1 software module;
and
providing a progressively generated enhanced error code from a L1 software module to the Layer 2 (L2) software module,
the enhanced error code based on progressive error checking of the received L1 configuration message at the L1 software module prior to installation as a configuration for the L1 software module.
