Introduction
The MDLP state transition tables are two dimensional matrices that define all possible states (as columns) and events (as rows) that can occur within MDLP. Each element of the matrix enumerates the action(s) to be taken when the specified event occurs in a particular state. A state transition table has been defined for the Data Link Layer Entity (DLLE), the Sleep Management Entity (SME), and the TEI Management Entity (TME).
Since MDLP is an asymmetric protocol, the behavior and procedures for user side CDPD devices differ from those used by network side CDPD devices. Thus, there are two sets of state transition tables defined: one set for the network side procedures and one set for the user side procedures.
