Abstract

A method for setting parameter identities of a worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WIMAX) customer premises equipments (CPE) which includes a plurality of parameter groups and a plurality of critical parameter groups correspondingly, each critical parameter group includes a plurality of critical parameter identities correlative to each other. The WIMAX CPE receives a setting package from a server and determines whether the setting package contains critical parameter identities of a critical parameter group. If the setting package contains critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, the WIMAX CPE determines whether the setting package contains all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group. If the setting package misses at least one critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, the WIMAX CPE waits to receiving the missing critical parameter identities until receiving all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group.

Claims

1. A worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WIMAX) customer premises equipments (CPE), comprising:

at least one processor;

a storage system; and

one or more modules that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the at least one modules comprising;

an application module comprising a plurality of parameter groups, each parameter group comprising a plurality of parameter identities;

a communication module comprising;

a management tree comprising a plurality of sub-trees which are constructed correspondingly to the parameter groups, each sub-tree comprising a plurality of parameter identities; and

a communication unit operable to communicate with a server and receive a setting package from the server;

a generation module operable to generate critical parameter groups having all critical parameter identities defined as parameter identities of the sub-tree correlative to each other; and

a determining module operable to determining whether the setting package contains all critical parameter identities of a critical parameter group when the setting package contains at least one critical parameter identity;

wherein if the setting parameter package misses at least one critical parameter identity of the critical parameter group, the communication unit is further operable to wait for the missing critical parameter identities until receive all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, the sub-tree corresponding to the critical parameter group and assigns the value of the critical parameter identities to the parameter group of the application module.

2. The WIMAX CPE as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a timer, wherein if the setting package is missing at least one critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, the timer starts timing and the communication unit waits to receiving the missing critical parameter identities.

3. The WIMAX CPE as claimed in claim 2, wherein if the communication unit does not receive the missing parameter identities until the time is up according to the timer, the communication unit feedbacks a alarm package to the server to notify the server of parameter setting failure.

4. The WIMAX CPE as claimed in claim 1, wherein if the determining module determines the setting package does not contain any critical parameter identity, the management tree assigns the value contained in the setting package to the parameter identities of the parameter group collectively.

5. A method for setting parameter identities of a WIMAX CPE which includes a plurality of parameter groups and a plurality of critical parameter groups correspondingly, each critical parameter group includes a plurality of critical parameter identities correlative to each other, the method comprising:

receiving a setting package from a server;

determining whether the setting package contains critical parameter identities of a critical parameter group;

if the setting package contains critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, determining whether the setting package contains all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group;

if the setting package misses at least one critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, waiting to receiving the missing critical parameter identities until receiving all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group;

assigning value of the critical parameter identities to the parameter group.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein if the setting parameter package does not contain any critical parameter identity, assigning value of the setting package to the parameter group.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein if the setting package does not contain all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, starting timing and waiting to receiving the missing critical parameter identities.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein if does not receive the missing critical parameter identities until timing is up, transmitting an alarm package to the server to notify the server of parameter setting failure.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein if does not receive the missing critical parameter identities until time is up, transmitting a feedback package indicating the missing critical parameter identities to the server, and requesting the server to transmit the missing critical parameter identities back.

10. A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor to perform a method for setting parameter identities of a WIMAX CPE which includes a plurality of parameter groups and a plurality of critical parameter groups correspondingly, each critical parameter group includes a plurality of critical parameter identities correlative to each other, the non-transitory storage comprising:

receiving a setting package from a server;

determining whether the setting package contains critical parameter identities of a critical parameter group;

if the setting package contains critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, determining whether the setting package contains all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group;

if the setting package misses at least one critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, waiting to receiving the missing critical parameter identities until receiving all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group;

assigning value of the critical parameter identities to the parameter group.

11. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 10, wherein if the setting parameter package does not contain any critical parameter identity, assigning value of the setting package to the parameter group.

12. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 10, wherein if the setting package does not contain all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, starting timing and waiting to receiving the missing critical parameter identities.

13. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 12, wherein if does not receive the missing critical parameter identities until timing is up, transmitting an alarm package to the server to notify the server of parameter setting failure.

14. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 13, wherein if does not receive the missing critical parameter identities until time is up, transmitting a feedback package indicating the missing critical parameter identities to the server, and requesting the server to transmit the missing critical parameter identities back.
