I guess you refer to the usage of term “EB” i.e. Enhanced Beacon in the
“Description” column in Table 6, values 0-8? This could have easily been
replaced with just “Beacon” to keep applicability to the BE mode and/or noted
with a sentence. I am not familiar with DSME mode, but from a quick glance over
the 802.15.4-2015 std, I see that DSME uses the term “EB”, as well.
NBE mode obviously doesn’t need any of the usage values where beacons are
mentioned, but values 9-14 should do it just fine. I might be missing something?
Other than that, there is the term “6TiSCH” used in all the names, but that
doesn’t seem to be a technical issue.
So yes, I guess noting such details in your dcoument makes sense.
