`
`sending a transmit power control (TPC) command (Page 4, line 17-Page 5, line
`
`8);
`
`receiving an uplink signal from the remote transceiver at a calculated transmit
`
`power level based on a path loss and the TPC command (Page 4, line 18-Page 5, line
`
`8, Zeira teaches the first station (base station) transmits power commands based on in
`
`part a reception quality of the received communications. The first station (base station)
`
`transmits a second communication (remote terminal) having a transmission power level
`
`in a first time slot. The second station receives the second communication and the
`
`power commands. A power level of the second communication as received is measured
`
`(calculated). A path loss estimate is determined based on in part the measured received
`
`second communication power level and the first communication power level), but fails to
`
`teach on a shared physical channel used to carry allocation and scheduling information
`
`from the base station to the remote transceiver, sending an allocation of a scheduled
`
`uplink transmission resource.
`
`However, in related art, Chen teaches on a downlink dedicated control channel
`
`(DCCH) channel used to carry allocation and scheduling information from the base
`
`station to the remote transceiver, sending an allocation of a scheduled uplink
`
`transmission resource (Paragraphs 0012,0052-0057, especially, paragraph 0012, Chen
`
`teaches it is an object of the present invention to perform the efficient scheduling
`
`processing and to allocate radio resources efficiently in the uplink high-speed packet
`
`communications method. Paragraph 0054, Chen teaches the transmitting unit 15 is
`
`configured to notify the radio resources allocated by the resource allocating 14 to the
`
`Ericsson Exhibit 1010
`Page 575
`

`
`mobile station via a downlink dedicated control channel (DCCH). Paragraph 0052, Chen
`
`teaches the resource allocating unit 14 is configured to allocate a radio resource which
`
`is used in uplink packet communications with the mobile station, by referring to the
`
`virtual buffer corresponding to the mobile station 30).Therefore, it would have been
`
`obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention to provide the above
`
`teaching of Chen to Zeira in order to perform the efficient scheduling processing and to
`
`allocate radio resources efficiently in the uplink high-speed packet communications
`
`method (Chen, paragraph 0012).
`
`The combination of Zeira and Chen fail to teach on a shared physical channel
`
`used to carry allocation and scheduling information.
`
`However, Van Lieshout teaches on a shared physical channel (shared radio
`
`channel) used to carry allocation and scheduling information (Para. 0006). Therefore, it
`
`would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention to
`
`provide the above teaching of van Lieshout to Zeira and Chen so that the mobile unit
`
`can find out the available resources that it can use from the base station.

`
`Claims 8 and 34 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over
`
`Zeira et al. (International Publication Number #WO 00/57574) in view of Chen et al. (US
`
`Pub. No. 2005/0025056) in view of Van Lieshout et al. (US Pub. No. 2001/0036823)

`
`Regarding claims 8 and 34, the combination of Zeira, Chen, and Van Lieshout
`
`fails to teach the method of power control, wherein the calculated transmit power level is
`
`based on parameter associated with a selected transport format.
`
`However, in related art, Shiu teaches the method of power control, wherein the
`
`calculated transmit power level is based on parameter associated with a selected
`
`transport format. (Col 3, lines 27-41).Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention to provide the above teaching of Shiu
`
`to Zeira, Chen, and Van Lieshout in order to adjust transmit power and achieve target
`
`block error rate (BLERs) ( See Shiu, Col 3, line 31).
`
`10. Claims 16,17,30,31,44,45,47, and 48 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as
`
`being unpatentable over Zeira et al. (International Publication Number #WO 00/57574)
`
`in view of Chen et al. (US Pub. No. 2005/0025056) in view of Van Lieshout et al. (US
`
`Pub. No. 2001/0036823) and further in view of Krishnan et al. (US Pub. No.
`
`2005/0176455).
`
`Regarding claims 16,30,44, and 47, the combination of Zeira, Chen, and Van
`
`Lieshout fail to teach the power control method, further comprising receiving a signal
`
`from the base station for instructing the remote transmitter to utilize only the
`
`accumulated TPC commands when deriving the calculated transmit power level,
`
`thereby disabling use of open loop power control and enabling use of closed loop power
`
`control only.

`
`However, in related art, Krishnan teaches the power control method, further
`
`comprising receiving a signal from the base station for instructing the remote transmitter
`
`to utilize only the accumulated TPC commands when deriving the calculated transmit
`
`power level, thereby disabling use of open loop power control and enabling use of
`
`closed loop power control only (Paragraphs 0047-0050, especially, Paragraphs 0049-
`
`0050). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the
`
`time of the invention to provide the above teaching of Krishnan to Zeira, Chen, and Van
`
`Lieshout in order to provide the transmitting terminal feedback regarding the power of
`
`signals received at the receiving terminal.
`
`Regarding claim 17,31,45, and 48, the combination of Zeira, Chen, and Van
`
`Lieshout fail to teach the power control method, further comprising receiving a signal
`
`from the base station for instructing the remote transmitter to disregard the accumulated
`
`TPC command when deriving the calculated transmit power level, thereby enabling use
`
`of open loop power control only and disabling use of closed loop power control.
`
`However, in related art, Krishnan teaches the power control method, further

`
`power level, thereby enabling use of open loop power control only and disabling use of
`
`closed loop power control (Paragraphs 0047-0050, especially, Paragraphs 0049-0050).

`11. Examiner has cited particular columns and line numbers in the references
`
`applied to the claims above for the convenience of the applicant. Although
`
`the specified citations are representative of the teachings of the art and are applied to
`
`specific limitations within the individual claim, other passages and figures may apply as
`
`well. It is respectfully requested from the applicant in preparing responses, to fully
`
`consider the references in entirety as potentially teaching all or part of the claimed
`
`invention, as well as the context of the passage as taught by the prior art or disclosed
`
`by the Examiner. SEE MPEP 2141.02 [R-5] VI. PRIOR ART MUST BE CONSIDERED
`
`IN ITS ENTIRETY, INCLUDING DISCLOSURES THAT TEACH AWAY FROM THE
`
`CLAIMS: A prior art reference must be considered in its entirety, i.e., as a whole,
`
`including portions that would lead away from the claimed invention. W.L. Gore &
