37.4663GPPIuant interface: Application partRelease 17TS

6.1 State model

The state model describing the secondary device is shown in figure 6.1 with procedures written in italic.

The relation to the connection state model for layer 2 can be found in TS 37.462 [3].

Figure 6.1: State model for the Secondary device

If an application software is not missing the secondary device enters the state OperatingMode.

If an application software is missing, the secondary device enters the state DownloadMode. In this state only software download functionality is supported in order to restore the application software.

The primary device will be notified that the secondary device has entered the state DownloadMode when a procedure which only is supported in the state OperatingMode fails with the return code WorkingSoftwareMissing.

If no software download functionality is supported, then only the state OperatingMode for the secondary device is supported.

6.2 General procedure handling

6.2.1 Alarms

When a fault is detected, the corresponding alarm state shall be changed to state raised by the secondary device. When the fault no longer exists, the corresponding alarm state shall be changed to state cleared by the secondary device. Alarm changes are reported through the AlarmIndication or AntennaAlarmIndication elementary procedures. Whenever an AlarmIndication or AntennaAlarmIndication elementary procedure message is transmitted, it shall contain all the alarm states changed that have not yet been reported as described in subclauses 6.6.5 and 6.7.6.

All alarm states shall be cleared by any type of reset.

6.2.2 Procedure message interpretation

The following message interpretation rules shall apply to a secondary device in the order mentioned:

– Any message shorter than 3 octets shall be disregarded. In case of Multi-Antenna-Procedures or TMA-Procedures, which uses a subunit field, any messages shorter than 4 octets shall be disregarded;

– If a message has a length inconsistent with its "Number of data octets" field value it shall be responded with a failure message stating "FormatError" as the cause of failure. The response message shall be to the initiating message identified by the procedure code;

– If a secondary device in the OperatingMode state receives a procedure message which is undefined for this device type, it shall respond with "Unknown Procedure";

– If a secondary device in the OperatingMode state is receiving a procedure message of an optional procedure not supported, it shall respond with a failure message stating "UnsupportedProcedure" as the cause of failure;

– If a secondary device receives a procedure message, part of the software download procedure sequence described in Annex C, without having received the previous procedure messages in that sequence it shall respond with a failure message stating "InvalidProcedureSequence" as the cause of failure;

– If a secondary device in the DownloadMode state is receiving a procedure message not supported in that state it shall respond with a failure message stating "WorkingSoftwareMissing" as the cause of failure;

– If a message has a length inconsistent with the defined message length in the procedure definition it shall be responded with a failure message stating "FormatError" as the cause of failure. The response message shall be to the initiating message identified by the procedure code;

– If a secondary device in the OperatingMode state is receiving a procedure message which addressed device subunit does not exist "FormatError" shall be returned.

6.2.3 Parallel procedure handling

The secondary device shall support parallel execution of in maximum one additional EP only in parallel to one of the Time-Consuming Procedures defined in table 6.2.3.1:

"yes" in the "TCP" column indicates that the procedure is a TCP, "no" in the "TCP" column indicates that the procedure is not a TCP. "mandatory" in the "Execution in parallel to a TCP" column indicates that the procedure shall be executed in parallel to an ongoing TCP. "optional" in this column indicates, that the support of the execution of the procedure in parallel to an ongoing TCP is optional and "disallowed" indicates that the procedure shall not be executed in parallel to a TCP.

If a secondary device receives an initiating message for an EP which cannot be executed due to the ongoing execution of other EPs, the secondary device shall respond with a failure message stating "Busy" as the cause of failure.

Parallel execution of one TCP marked "optional" in the "Execution in parallel to a TCP" column in table 6.2.3.1 may be supported for each antenna by the secondary device. The EPs AntennaSetTilt and AntennaCalibrate shall be executed in parallel only for different antenna numbers. If more than one TCP is executed, ResetSoftware shall be executed anyway and never be responded with "Busy".

If the EPs Get Tilt and Antenna GetTilt are executed in parallel with a TCP, their response message shall deliver a tilt value sampled during their execution.

TMAAP doesn’t define any TCPs. Therefore parallel procedure handling is not supported by TMAAP.

6.8.4 TMA Set Gain

The procedure TMASetGain shall only be supported if the TMA subunit gain can be adjusted. On receipt of the initiating message, the secondary device shall first set the addressed TMA subunit to the gain determined by the TMA gain figure parameter, and then return the response message. The TMA gain figure parameter is calculated as 4 times the required gain expressed in dB. (This method of specification allows the gain to be set with a resolution of 0.25 dB while using an integer parameter.)

If the TMA subunit is set in bypass mode by TMASetMode, and TMASetGain is received, then the procedure shall be performed and bypass mode shall be retained.

If any alarm state flag is set than the status has to be validated and the result has to be responded.

Gain shall be accepted if Gmin <=Gdemanded <=Gmax

For linear steps: Gdemanded = (Gmin +n*Gresolution) where n is a non-negative integer

For non-linear steps: Gdemanded must be equal to a supported value.

Gmin, Gmax and Gresolution are reported by TMAGetSupportedFunctions. The supported values for non-linear steps are reported by TMAGetSupportedNonLinearGainValues.

For all other values of Gdemanded, the TMA subunit shall respond UnsupportedValue.

6.8.8.1 Further requirements

For each alarm, the current alarm state and alarm code shall be reported if and only if any change in its state has occurred since the last reported state.

A TMA Alarm Indication procedure shall be performed if at least one TMA alarm shall be reported for the TMA subunit. The first TMA Alarm Indication procedure after the Alarm Subscribe procedure shall report the active alarms.

Alarm state changes are considered as reported at the time the message is passed to the transport layer.

State flag = 0x00 represents alarm state cleared.

State flag = 0x01 represents alarm state raised.

6.8.9 TMA Clear Active Alarms

On receipt of the initiating message the secondary device shall first clear all stored alarm information for the addressed TMA subunit and then return a procedure response message. In the event that the cause of the alarm persists the alarm shall be re-raised and a new TMA Alarm Indication procedure shall be performed.

6.8.12 3GPP Clear Active Alarms and Get Alarm Status

When an TMA receives ClearActiveAlarms, it shall perform the procedure for all subunits of the TMA and then return a single procedure response message.

When an TMA receives GetAlarmStatus, it shall in a single procedure response message report the union of the alarm codes of all active alarms for all subunits, i.e. the same alarm codes shall be reported only once.

6.8.13 TMA Get Supported Non-Linear Gain Values

On receipt of the initiating message, the secondary device shall respond with a message containing a list of supported values in numerical order, preceded by the number (N) of such values contained in the list.
