1. A method for performing a ranging procedure between a mobile station (MS) and a base station (BS) in a broadband wireless access system, the method performed by an entity within the MS and comprising:
- receiving, from an MS Network Control and Management System (NCMS), a first primitive comprising a type field indicating a location update, wherein the first primitive causes the location update to be performed via a transmission of a ranging request to the BS;
transmitting the ranging request comprising ranging information to the BS to perform the location update, wherein the ranging information is related to the location update;
receiving a ranging response from the BS; and
transmitting a second primitive to the MS NCMS to provide a result of the ranging response, wherein the second primitive comprises a location update result and a paging controller ID,wherein the second primitive further comprises paging information when the location update result indicates a successful location update, the paging information comprising a paging offset, a paging group ID and a paging period.

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 a mobile station to perform a method of connecting to the network. Media Independent Handover (MIH) procedures can be achieved because the NCMS and MIH layer can communicate through use of these primitives.
