METHODS FOR QUERYING PARAMETER INFORMATION, AND APPARATUS FOR RETURNING PARAMETER INFORMATION

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for querying parameter information, and an apparatus for returning parameter information. The protocol layer that receives a query request establishes a correspondence between an acquired parameter value and a parameter name and returns the parameter value and the corresponding parameter name to the protocol layer that sends the query result. The present invention does not depend on the consistency of element orders in the "StateInformationRequestList" and "StateInformationResponseList" parameters in the interactive commands between the upper layer/media independent handover (MIH) users/network management system (NMS) entity or the consistency of element orders in the "LinkParameterList" parameters in the interactive commands between the MIH layer and the bottom layer/link layer. This can decrease the complexity of implementing the query mechanism. In addition, with the present invention, the MIH layer can also notify the upper layer/MIH users/NMS entity of the query result when returning the queried state information to the upper layer/MIH users/NMS entity.
