`The segment over which the signal containing information from the base station is received by Tesla’s
`Accused Products comprises N time-frequency resource units within a time interval, each unit containing a set
`of frequency subcarriers in a group of OFDM symbols, where N=2, 4, or 8. E.g.,
`
`Tesla’s Accused Products support each PDCCH format in complying with the 3GPP LTE specification. The
`PDCCH comprises 2 CCEs for a PDCCH format 1, 4 CCEs for a PDCCH format 2, and 8 CCEs for a PDCCH
`format 3. The PDCCH comprises 2, 4, or 8 CCEs depending on the aggregation level. All the PDCCH formats
`must be supported by Tesla’s Accused Products in order to comply with the standards. Thus, the Accused
`Products are configured to receive a segment wherein N=2, 4, or 8 (in addition to other values), meeting this
