`
`
`

`
`Construction of “pilot symbol”
`
`Board’s
`Construction
`
`“the broadest reasonable construction is apparent
`from the context of the claims and specification”
`
`(Institution Decision, p. 8)
`
`Petitioner’s
`Construction
`
`“a symbol located in the data structure and used for
`performing synchronization”
`
`(Petition, p. 23)
`
`Patent Owner’s
`Construction
`
`“frequency domain symbol for refining the
`calibration of a receiver to a transmitter”
`
`(POR, p. 12)
`
`9
`
`

`
`“pilot symbol” is a frequency domain symbol

`Instituted Grounds
`
`• Claims 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the ’127 patent as
`obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Schmidl
`and Arslan;

`symbols are
`inserted into
`data blocks
`
`(POR, pp. 23, 25, 26)

`
`No “pilot/training
`symbol inserter” in
`Schmidl’s encoder

`

`
`Dependent Claims 4, 6-10

`prefix and a training block, the cyclic prefix having a number of samples G, the training
`block having a number of samples NI, whereby NI =N/I, where N is equal to the number of

`
`

`
`Kim Is Directed Generally to a “timing and frequency
`offset estimation method for OFDM”
`
`Kim does not mention the use of
`“pilot symbols” and therefore
`cannot overcome the
`deficiencies of Schmidl and
`Arslan

`
`Claim 17

`28
`
`

`
`Dependent Claim 17
`
`The transmitter of claim 8, wherein the number of modulators
`and transmit antennas is two, a first training block
`corresponding to a first transmit antenna being divided into four

`second training block corresponding to a second transmit
`antenna being divided into four sections, each section having a
`number of samples NI/4.
`
`(’127 Patent, Claim 17) 29
`
`

`
`Heiskala Is Directed Generally to “estimation of two
`propagation channels in OFDM”
`
`Heiskala does not mention the use
