doc.: IEEE /0129r2 Submission March 2007 David Mazzarese, Samsung ElectronicsSlide 4 Abstract The possible beacon frame sizes are presented according to different levels of security and error-correction coding, based on the current security proposal and rate ½ FEC proposal. The impact of respective lengths of the beacon frame and the WRAN superframe is analyzed in terms of the latency before the WRAN can schedule a long quiet period without interrupting the superframe preamble.

If D+P < S, the quiet period can be scheduled in the current superframe (it is assumed that B < S) Otherwise the minimum number of superframes to wait for before scheduling a quiet period is WRAN Superframe SCH Beacon Frame B D SH Quiet period P
