WiMAX Module States

 

 

 

State

 

Description

 

 

 

Configured

 

In this state the WiMAX module has all the necessary configuration information

 

 

and can be started by the port manager. Modifications to configuration

 

 

parameters using the configuration file require re-initialization of the WiMAX

 

 

module.

 

 

Input signal(s):

 

 

MAC start

 

 

Action—Starts the MAC process

 

 

Next state—Disconnected

 

 

Configuration error

 

 

Action—Send message

 

 

Next state—Initializing

 

 

This state corresponds to the port manager configured state.

 

 

 

Disconnected

 

Corresponds to the Interface Down state.

 

 

Exit Criteria: Start of Scanning.

 

 

 

Scanning

 

This state is internal to the WiMAX module and does not need to be exposed to

 

 

the port manager other than for debug purposes.

 

 

Exit criteria: BS found or stop scanning signal from the Port manager.

 

 

 

Connecting

 

This state is internal to the WiMAX module and does not need to be exposed to

 

 

the port manager other than for debug purposes.

 

 

Exit criteria: finished SBC message exchange.

 

 

 

Authenticating

 

This state is internal to the WiMAX module and does not need to be exposed to

 

 

the port manager other than for debug purposes.

 

 

 

Connected

 

In this state the WiMAX module has at least one SF each in the DL and UL. This

 

 

SF is called the Initial service flow (ISF). Additional SF may be created by the

 

 

BS as required.

 

 

This state is exposed to the port manager. The method of exposing this state to

 

 

the port manager is TBD; need to review the code to determine if there and

 

 

explicit message or the Module needs to be polled.
