doc.: IEEE Submission Introduction “Frame” and “superframe” are used to refer to the same thing in different parts of P Draft, leading to confusion. “Frame” is also used to refer to something different throughout P Draft, adding to the confusion. IEEE TG8 already has a verbal consensus to use “superframe” to remove the confusion. Jan Byung-Jae Kwak, et al., ETRISlide 3

doc.: IEEE Submission Summary of the Proposed Changes (1/2) Frame  Superframe –To be in line with PAC UWB specification, but also with IEEE specification. –To differentiate from packet and other usages of the word. Other previous names –Synchronization interval –Ultra-frame –Super-frame. Jan Byung-Jae Kwak, et al., ETRISlide 4

doc.: IEEE Submission Summary of the Proposed Changes (2/2) There are other usages of the word “frame” that won’t be changed –Use of “frame” referring to “packet” (ex: “frames up to 127 octets”, “ACK frame”, “frame check sequence, etc.) –PHY frame, ultra frame, super frame 1, data frame –TDD frame –UWB frame Jan Byung-Jae Kwak, et al., ETRISlide 5 1: TG8 may want to discuss this
