`
`communication system,
`To the extent the preamble is considered a limitation, Honda’s Accused Products meet the preamble of
`the ’941 patent. E.g.,
`
`The LTE specification (Series 36, Release 8) specifies user equipments (UEs) receiving downlink control
`information.
`
`For example, release 8 of the 36 series 3GPP specifications was frozen in December of 2008 and that release
`was used as the basis for the first wave of LTE equipment. The LTE marketplace currently supports a mix of
`releases from Release 8 through Release 15. For ease of review release 8 of the LTE specification is cited
`below, but similar cites are available for each corresponding release on the market.
`
`LTE uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for downlink and uplink transmissions.
