The apparatus sends a request from a medium access control (MAC) layer to at least one of a Physical (PHY) Layer or a radio frequency (RF) component using an application protocol interface (API) and receives a response message from the at least one of the PHY layer or the RF component comprising an hierarchical indication of at least one capability of the PHY layer or the RF component using the API. The apparatus may also configure the PHY layer or the RF component based on the at least one capability.

Configurable MAC-PHY API

The claimed subject matter relates to configuring a host device through utilization of MMP, which is a protocol that is based upon MIP but not associated with several deficiencies associated therewith. In particular, a wireless terminal can be configured to run MMP and send messages that conform to MMP over a wireless link. A base station can be configured to act as a DHCP server. The base station can provide configuration information to host device by way of DHCP.

Configuring a host device by way of MMP

Methods and apparatus for establishing communication links, used to support communications sessions with one or more end nodes, e.g., mobile devices, are described. Various features are directed to a mobile node controlling the establishment of initial links to a first access node and the establishment of new links from a first access node to a second access node during a handoff operation using highly efficient messages and signal.
