So I am still scratching my head about this; I went to the doc you gave me; the table describes the frequency ranges. Doesn't mention anything about the FFT types, but I am guessing they are infered from the bandwidth? (as in 10M bw takes a 1024 FFT?). So, the fujitsu device is just told something like: scan in Prof3.A_2.496 – 10 and return all the NAPs you find in there? For this we might need to either add a call or set a caps field that says "scan takes profiles" vs "scan takes channels". Which information does it provide for each NAP? More over, we need to find a lot of information about the NAPs to be able to authenticate (using 802.16e capabilities) -- or we might need to do OMA-DM. -- Inaky _______________________________________________ wimax mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxwimax.org/listinfo/wimax
