| 33 | 3)'''DL Burst''' : The BS emits on the DownLink as specified by Map transmitted in the previous stage. To distinguish between each of the SS |
| 34 | it uses a Connection ID, which corresponds to its own queues. This can be heard by all the nodes and they too distinguish it by their |
| 35 | Connection ID. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | 4) '''Contention Time''' : This stage is for future reserve. Any new SS wishing to join the system and already synchronized with BS would send in a Request |
| 38 | during this stage. For the time being we make the BS and the SS sleep during this period. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | 5) '''UL Burst''' : The BS receives on the UpLink as specified by Map transmitted in the previous stage. Again it distinguishes between various SS`s |
| 41 | by the use of Connection ID. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | 6) '''Map Sending''' : If the BS does not receive from any SS for a long time, it enters this special stage. After coming to this state, the BS |
| 44 | emits MAPS Periodically and simply waits for the rest of the frame. |
