- Link Information Channel. The LICH contains all information needed to establish an M17 link. The first frame of a transmission contains full LICH data, and subsequent frames each contain one sixth of the LICH data so that late-joiners can obtain the LICH.
- Packet
- A single burst of transmitted data containing 100s to 1000s of bytes, after which the physical layer stops sending data.
- Superframe
- A set of six consecutive frames which collectively contain full LICH data are grouped into a superframe.
