The scheduling message
InitSession
from the Net Control Station to Participating Stations has the special role of communicating the unique token for the net session and the radio channel over which the main net session radio transmissions will occur, including the radio frequency.Amongst the RadioStation
objects, only the one that is a Net Control Station has direct access to the NetSession
object, which is managed by its HandlerPS
. The (other) Participating Stations need however to know the current SessionToken
and information about the RadioChannel
to be used, which are shared by the InitSession
Signal from the NCS.
Note that in the Webel Radio Net model initialising a net session is distinct from opening the net session, which is in turn distinct from joining the net session. This is reflected in the StateMachines for RadioStation
and the HandlerPS
of Participating Stations as we'll see later.
