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.
Claims13
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
- receiving, from a mobile station (MS) network control management system (NCMS) or an upper entity, a first primitive that indicates a management request, wherein the first primitive comprises an action code indicating a change of a state of the mobile station and at least a power on, a power off, a power down, a reset, a deregistration, a hold, or a normal state;
- changing the state of the mobile station;
- and
- sending, to the MS NCMS or the upper entity, a second primitive that indicates a management confirmation, wherein the second primitive indicates a result of changing the state of the mobile station, the result comprising a success, a failure, or a rejection of the change of the state.
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network, a message that indicates a change of a state of the mobile station, wherein the change of the state is at least a power on, a power off, a power down, a reset, a deregistration, a hold, or a normal state;
- changing the state of the mobile station;
- and
- sending, to a mobile station (MS) network control management system (NCMS) or an upper entity of the mobile station, a primitive that allows the MS NCMS or the upper entity to be notified of the change of the state of the mobile station.
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- establishing a unified interface (MIH) 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;
- sending, to the mobile station, a first primitive comprising an action code indicating a request to change a state of the mobile station and indicating at least a power on, a power off, a power down, a reset, a deregistration, a hold, or a normal state;
- and
- receiving, from a mobile station (MS) network control management system (NCMS), a second primitive that allows the MIH to be notified of a changed state of the mobile station wherein the second primitive indicates a result of the request to change the state of the mobile station, the result comprising a success, a failure, or a rejection of the change of the state.
A method of managing a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network control management system (NCMS) of a network or from an upper entity, a first primitive that allows the NCMS of the network or the upper entity to command a change of a state of the mobile station, wherein the change of the state is at least a power on, a power off, a power down, a reset, a deregistration, a hold, or a normal state;
- and
- sending, to the mobile station, a message that indicates the change of the state of the mobile station.
