WiMAX Network Entry and Initialization, part 1.

Once a SS senses a BS, for a network entry, it will first scans for downlink channel (DL) and trying synchronizes itself with the BS. After that, SS shall obtain transmit parameters, which are integrated in the Uplink Channel Descriptor (UCD), Uplink (UL)-MAP, and Downlink (DL)-MAP. The final step would be to complete initial ranging.

The BS is required to discover different received ranging codes, approximate the timing offset and the power for every user that bears and initial ranging code. The BS then broadcast the detected ranging codes with some change instruction for the proper timing and power level. Other than that, the status notifications of either ranging successful or retransmission are also broadcasted.
