Module States
Hardware Overview
The module provides two physical connectors for antennas.
The WiMAX module has the following states:
Table 5 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.
