5.14 NAVIGATION DATA FROM SUBFRAMES
4 AND 5-SUPPORT DATA ( 3,7,8 )
Both subframes 4 and 5 are subcommutated 25 times each. The 25 versions
of these subframes are referred to as pages 1 to 25 of each superframe. With
the possible exception of “spare” pages and explicit repeats, each page contains
different data in words 3 through 10, which are from bits 91 - 300. Subframe 4
has six different formats but only five of them are shown in Figure 5.10a. Five
pages, 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, are in one format. Six pages, 12, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, are
in one format. Page 18 is in one format. Page 25 is in one format, and pages
13, 14, 15, and 17 are in one format. There are a total of 17 pages. Pages 2, 3,
4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are not shown because they have the same format as page
1 through 24 of subframe 5. Subframe 5 has two different formats as shown in
Figure 5.10b.
