`"A mobile station comprising:
`To the extent the preamble is considered a limitation, Ford’s Accused Instrumentalities meet the preamble of
`claim 1 of the ’908 patent. E.g.,
`
`Ford’s Accused Instrumentalities include vehicles equipped with cellular communication capabilities and
`services made available thereupon for use and actually used in a wireless system compliant with the LTE
`standard starting at least at Release 8.
`
`For example, Ford offers for sale, sells, and/or imports various vehicle models that are marketed and
`released with LTE cellular functionality and perform methods thereof, including but not limited to the
`models listed in the Plaintiff’s Disclosure Of Asserted Claims And Infringement Contentions.
`
`The LTE specification (Series 36, Release 8) supports user equipment (UE) to perform a random access
`(RACH) procedure.
`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.
`An LTE communication system provides access to multiple users (user equipment (UEs)) through multiple
`cells associated with multiple eNodeBs.

`
`
`“transmit, to the base station, a random access signal followed by a guard period in only a portion of the frequency band, wherein the random access signal

`Ford’s Accused Instrumentalities also transmit, to the base station, a random access signal followed by a
`guard period in only a portion of the frequency band, wherein the random access signal includes a sequence
`associated with the base station. E.g.,
`
`The random access signal, e.g., a random access preamble, transmitted on the PRACH occupies a
`bandwidth corresponding to 6 consecutive resource blocks in both the type 1 and type 2 frame structures,
`which is a fraction of the overall channel bandwidth (frequency band) for any other bandwidth than the
`smallest. The range of the overall channel bandwidth is the bandwidth of 6 to 100 resource blocks,
`corresponding to bandwidths 1.4MHz to 20MHz, with 20MHz being the most commonly used bandwidth.
`The Accused Products are configured to operate within a channel bandwidth of more than 6 resource blocks.

`

`“The mobile station of claim 1, wherein the portion of the frequency band used for transmission of the random access signal does not include control
`channels.”
`The portion of the frequency band used for transmission of the random access signal by the transmitter of
`Ford’s Accused Instrumentalities does not include control channels. E.g.,
`
`See Claim 1.
`The uplink control channels, such as the PUCCH, do not overlap with the PRACH or other random access
`signaling, e.g., via the PUSCH.
`
`
`
`See Sesia, Toufik and Baker, “LTE: The UMTS Long Term Evolution From Theory to Practice”, at pg. 347.
`See also id. at Chapter 16 (“Uplink Physical Channel Structure”).
`
`For example, the PUCCH is mapped into a resource block a single resource block in each time slot that is
`located near the top or the bottom of the uplink bandwidth and the PRACH is transmitted in a disjoint
`frequency band.

`
`the location of the PRACH. For TDD, the final location of the PRACH is determined by a series of
`equations dependent upon a PRACH resource frequency index fRA. In most circumstances, the network will
`configure the parameter such that the PRACH will fall towards the middle of the uplink bandwidth and not
`overlap with the PUCCH.
