13.2.2.1 Assumptions<br />

1. All discovery, configuration, and initialization required has already been<br />

performed.<br />

2. <strong>The</strong> <strong>ALE</strong> layer is implemented as a distinct software component.<br />

3. ECSpec boundary conditions specified using startTrigger, stopTrigger<br />

4. ECFilterSpec includePatterns includes the EPC(s) illustrated in<br />

this scenario<br />

13.2.2.2 Description<br />

1. <strong>The</strong> <strong>ALE</strong> client calls the define methods of the <strong>ALE</strong> interface. <strong>The</strong><br />

ECSpec contains a valid startTrigger and stopTrigger as boundary<br />

specifications – though any valid boundary conditions could be specified. <strong>The</strong><br />

ECReportSpec and ECFilterSpec contained within the ECSpec is<br />

defined to include the EPC data sent later in step 4.<br />

2. <strong>The</strong> <strong>ALE</strong> client calls the subscribe method of the <strong>ALE</strong> interface which<br />

includes the URI of the intended observer. At this point the ECSpec is<br />

considered “Requested.”<br />

3. After the start trigger is received, the ECSpec is considered “Active.”<br />

Subsequent EPCs that meet the filter conditions in the ECSpec will be<br />

collected by the <strong>ALE</strong> layer.<br />

4. An EPC that does meet the filter conditions in the ECSpec is reported to the<br />

<strong>ALE</strong> layer.<br />
