In what case idle mode is used in WiMAX?

When the CPE is not needing to transmit or receive user data. This mode means the CPE is completely deregistered from the network. It frees up valuable resources from the network so that other users can connect to transfer and receive user data. As this feature is only available on Mobile WiMAX, the CPE will continue to scan the network and keep track of it's location, providing a paging update to the network when it moves out of a predefined location. This is so the network can update the CPE location so that the next time it needs to receive data from the network it can be quickly located.


When Facebook makes you an account but you didn't make it.how is this possible?

If a network has one user on Facebook for over 3 months the other users of the network will get a basic account as a way to get them started.These accounts have a generic name and no pictures,if that email is on,say they used their email,the account will be called active.This Program started in May as a way to increase users.However many users say it is wrong to force this on users.You can delete the generic accounts and keep them gone.A password is pre-saved into the email,so you can access it.
