`
`REMARKS
`
`Reconsideration and allowance of the above-identified application are respectfully
`
`requested. Claims 45-51 remain pending, wherein claims 45 and 46 have been amended.
`
`Initially, Applicants appreciate the Examiner's consideration of the documents cited
`
`in the information Disclosure Statement filed on April 26. 2001.
`
`In the third paragraph of the Office Action, Figures 3 and 10 have been objected to
`
`as allegedly not including the legend prior art. Accordingly, submitted herewith is a
`
`Request for Approval of Drawing Changes including the legend prior art on Figures 3 and.
`
`'
`
`10. Approval of these drawing changes and withdrawal of this objection are respectftilly
`
`requested.
`
`Attached to the Office Action was a form PTO-948 objecting to the drawings.
`
`Submitted herewith under a separate transmittal. addressed to the Draftsperson, is a
`
`submission of formal drawings addressing the objection. Since it is believed that the
`
`drawing changes attached herewith will be approved by the Examiner, the formal drawing
`
`reflect these changes.
`
`In the fourth paragraph of the Official Action. the disclosures objected to for minor
`
`informalities. The specification has been amended to address the Examiner's concerns.
`
`Accordingly, withdrawal of this ground of objection is respectfully requested.
`
`In the fifth paragraph of the Office Action. claims 45-51 are rejected under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 112, secoad paragraph, as allegedly being indefinite for failing to particularly
`
`point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which Applicants regard as the invention.
`
`Specifically. the Office Action asserts that elements recited in claims 45 and 46 lack
`3
`
`
`
`Application No. [121192111
`Attorney ' s Docket No. (MIME-.420
`Page 4
`
`antecedent basis. Claims 45 and 46 have been amended, accordingly, withdrawal of this
`
`ground of rejection is respectfully requested.
`
`In the sixth paragraph of the Office Action, claims 45-51 are rejected tinder 35
`
`U.S.C. § 102(c) as allegedly being anticipated by US. Patent No. 5,757,813 to Raith
`
`(“Raith”). This ground of rejection is respectfully traversed.
`
`Raith does not anticipate Applicants' claim 45 because Raith does not disclose all of
`
`the elements of Applicants' claim 45. For example, fiaithdoe‘sinotdiscloseaprfiocessor _
`
`providing at least one second field, separate from saidnfirst field, which includes a service
`type identifier which identifies a type of payload information provided in said at least one
`
`first field.
`
`Raith discloses a method for achieving optimal channel coding in a communication '
`
`system. Specifically, Raith discloses a method in which the reserved field or the
`
`CSFP/PCF field can be provided with an indication bit for indicating the type of channel
`
`coding being used in the data field. However, Ratyidoes not disclose a service type
`
`identifier which identifies a type ofpayload information. Accordingly, hair}: cannot
`disclose a processor providing at least one second field, separateftom said first field,
`which includes a service type. identifier which identifies a type of payload iniormation
`
`provided in said at least one first field as recited in Applicants' claim 45.
`
`Nevertheless, the Office Action asserts that the indication of coding provided in the
`
`PCP or the CSFPIPCF field anticipates the service type identifier of Applicants“ claim 45.
`
`However, the indication which Raith discloses is placed in the PCF field or the CSFPIPCF"
`
`field is an indication of the type of channel coding. However. Raith does not disclose that

`‘It

`
`this indication identifies a type ofpayload information as recited in Applicants' claim 45.
`
`Since Rdirh does not disclose a service type identifier which identifies a type of payload
`
`information provided in said at least one field, Rail}: does not anticipate Applicants' claim
`
`45.
`
`Claims 46-51 depend from claim 45. and hence, these claims are patentably
`
`distinguishable over Raith for at least those reasons stated above with regards to
`
`Applieants' claim 45. For at least those reasons stated above, it is respectfully requested '
`
`that the rejection of claims 45—51 as allegedly being anticipated by Raith be withdraw.
`
`All outstanding objections and rejections having been addressed is respectfully
`
`submitted that the present application is in condition for allowance Notice to this affect is
`
`respectfully requested.
`
`If there are any questions regarding this response or the application
`
`in general, the Examiner's is encouraged to contact the undersigned at 703-838-6578.

`
`45.
`
`(Amended) A communication station comprising:
`
`a processor for arranging information for transmission including providing at
`
`least one first field in which payload information is diSposed and providing at lest one
`
`second field, separate from said first field, which includes a service type identifier which
`
`identifies [the] atype of payload information provided in said at least one first field; and
`
`a transmitter for transmitting information received from said processor
`
`including said at least one first field and said at lease one second field.
`
`46.
`
`(Amended) The communication station of claim 45, wherein said processor
`
`is also for changing said type of payload information from a first type to a second type
