`VW’s Accused Products include vehicles equipped with components and/or devices that enable connectivity to
`base station in an Orthogonal Frequency
`4G/LTE networks and services, including services sold and provided by VW.
`Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
`
`communication system,
`To the extent the preamble is considered a limitation, VW’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 clarity, 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 17. Though for ease of review release 8 of the LTE specification is
`cited below, the same or functionally identical content exists in each corresponding release on the market.
`
`LTE uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for downlink and uplink transmissions.
`
`
`
`See e.g., 3GPP TS 36.201 V8.3.0 at pgs. 7-8.
`
`LTE downlink transmission use OFDM.
