uwba(7D) Devices uwba(7D)NAME
uwba, uwb - Solaris UWB Architecture (UWBA)
DESCRIPTION
Ultra-WideBand (UWB) radio technology supports high bandwidth for wire‐
less devices. UWBA is a miscellaneous module and it supports radio con‐
troller drivers for UWB based devices like HWA (Host Wire Adapter),
WHCI (Wireless Host Controller Interface) and so forth. For example,
both HWA radio controller driver (hwarc) and whci driver register to
uwba during attach.
UWBA provides a series of common interfaces for drivers that support
UWB radio technology. Each radio controller driver register itself as a
UWB dev to the uwba model in the attach entry, then other driver or
module can control this device to perform the UWB functions through a
list of common interface. For example, a hwahc driver can control the
hwarc driver to scan in a specific channel, start/stop beacon, manage
device/MAC address, and so forth.
