superframe
Noun
Meaning
superframe (plural superframes)
(computing, telecommunications) A frame (chunk of data) comprising several subframes.
Examples
However, there are four such bits (ABCD) per channel per extended superframe, rather than the two bits (AB) provided per superframe.
The superframe of the open signal is 7500 bits long and consists of 5 frames of 30 seconds, taking 150 seconds (2.5 minutes) to transmit the continuous message.
The superframe consists of 8 navigational frames, so it takes 120 seconds (2 minutes) to transmit 12000 bits of almanac for all current 24 satellites.
Like the predecessor superframe, every sixth frame's least-significant data bit can be used for robbed-bit signaling of call supervision state.
If the bit reservoir is not used, a frame is equal to a superframe.
In the future, the superframe will be expanded to 10 frames or 15000 bits (150 seconds or 2.5 minutes) of data to cover full 30 satellites.
