`
`Introduction & Summary of Opinions
`
`1. My name is Paul Min. I submit this declaration on behalf of ZTE
`
`(USA) Inc., which I understand is challenging the validity of certain claims in a
`
`petition for inter partes review.
`
`2.
`
`I have been asked to analyze U.S. Patent No. 8,000,305 B2, which
`
`identifies Motorola Mobility, Inc. as its assignee (“the Motorola patent”), and U.S.
`
`Provisional Application No. 60/759,697 (“the Motorola provisional”), to which the
`
`Motorola patent claims priority, and consider whether the Motorola provisional’s
`
`disclosure contains a written description of the claims of the Motorola patent
`
`sufficient to enable ordinarily skilled artisans to practice those claims. In my
`
`opinion, for the following reasons, the Motorola provisional contains a sufficient
`
`written description of every claim of the Motorola patent.
`
`II. Background/Qualifications
`
`3.
`
`Appendix A to this declaration is my curriculum vitae, which sets
`
`forth my qualifications.
`
`4.
`
`I received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1982, an M.S.
`
`degree in Electrical Engineering in 1984, and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical
`
`Engineering in 1987 from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I received
`
`several academic honors, including my B.S. degree with honors, a best graduate
`
`student award and a best teaching assistant award during my M.S. study, and a best
`

`

`

`
`
`paper award from a major international conference for reporting results from my
`
`Ph.D. thesis.
`
`5.
`
`After receiving my Ph.D., I worked at Bellcore in New Jersey from
`
`August 1987 until August 1990. At Bellcore, I was responsible for evolving the
`
`public switched telephone network (POTS) into a multi-services voice and data
`
`network that incorporated packet switches, optical technologies, and wireless
`
`technologies.
`
`6.
`
`In September 1990, I joined the faculty at Washington University in
`
`St. Louis. In July 1996, I was promoted to an Associate Professor of Electrical
`
`Engineering with tenure. I am currently a Senior Professor at Washington
`
`University of the Electrical and Systems Engineering. I have also served as the
`
`Chair of the Graduate Curriculum (2000-2002) and the Chair of the Undergraduate
`
`Curriculum (2011-2014) for the Electrical and Systems Engineering department.
`
`7.
`
`At Washington University, I have conducted research in
`
`communication, computing, and related electronic hardware and software. My
`
`research group has pioneered a new paradigm for designing electronic circuits that
`
`can alleviate the speed and performance mismatch against optical technology. I
`
`have received several grants from the U.S. Federal Agencies, including the
`
`National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency,
`
`and numerous contracts from companies and organizations around the world.

`

`

`
`
`Specifically related to the technology matters in this Investigation, I have
`
`researched a variety of wireless communication technologies, including CDMA,
`
`WCDMA, OFDM, FDD, SC-FDMA, and TDD. I have an extensive background
`
`and experience in each of these technologies.
`
`8.
`
`As a faculty member at Washington University, I have taught a
`
`number of courses in electronics, communication, and computing at both the
`
`undergraduate and graduate levels. For example, I have taught communication
`
`theory (Washington University ESE 471), transmission and multiplexing
`
`(Washington University ESE 571), and signaling and control of communication
`
`networks (Washington University ESE 572).
`
`9.
`
`I have supervised more than 50 students, 12 of whom received a
`
`doctoral degree under my guidance. A number of doctoral theses that I have
`
`supervised relate specifically to LTE technology. In particular, my students and I
`
`have published a number of peer-reviewed articles on resource allocation,
`
`scheduling, modulation, mobility management, and multiplexing. Several of these
`
`articles received accolades in the field. For example, in 2011, we received a best
`
`paper award in 3G WCDMA-related mobility and resource management at the
`
`prestigious Mobility 2011 international conference.
`
`10.
`
`In addition to my responsibilities as a university faculty member, I
`
`have founded two companies. In May 1997, I founded MinMax Technologies, Inc.,

`
`

`

`
`
`a fabless semiconductor company that developed switch fabric integrated circuit
`
`chips for the Internet. In March 1999, I founded Erlang Technology, Inc., a fabless
`
`semiconductor company that focused on the design and development of integrated
`
`circuit chips and software for the Internet. One of Erlang’s products received a best
`
`product of the year award in 2004 from a major trade journal for the electronics
`
`industry.
`
`11. Outside my own start-up companies, I have also served in various
`
`technology and business advisor roles for other companies and organizations
`
`around the world. I was the main technical author for one of two winning proposals
`
`to the Korean government for CDMA wireless service licenses (1996). I was
`
`responsible for designing a commercial scale IS-95 CDMA cellular network,
`
`which I understand to be one of the earliest such networks deployed in the world. I
`
`worked with numerous engineers and scientists around the world to implement this
`
`commercial-scale cellular network before IS-95 CDMA was widely accepted. This
`
`provided me with extensive insight into various components of CDMA technology,
`
`which by and large are used in WCDMA network. I have also been involved in a
`
`semiconductor company that specializes in semiconductor memories such as flash
`
`EEPROMs as a board member and as a technical advisor (2007-2011).
`
`12.
`
`I am a named inventor on nine U.S. patents, many of which are
`
`directly related to resource allocation, packet processing, and network designing. I

`

`
`
`have extensively published technical papers in international conferences and
`
`journals, technical memoranda and reports, and given a number of seminars and
`
`invited talks. Many of these papers are specifically within the context of the 3GPP
`
`standard. I have organized several international conferences and served as an
`
`international journal editor.
`
`13.
`
`I am a member of and have been actively involved in a number of
`
`professional organizations. For example, I have served as the Chair of the Saint
`
`Louis Section of the IEEE with more than 3,000 members (2014), and a member of
`
`the Eta Kappa Nu Honor Society for electrical engineers. I have also been an
`
`Ambassador of the McDonnell International Scholars Academy (2007-2013).
`
`III. Documents and Materials Considered
`
`14.
`
`In rendering the opinions expressed in this declaration, I relied on my
`
`experience and education, and considered the Motorola patent and the Motorola
`
`provisional.
`
`IV. Legal Principles
`
`15.
`
`I understand that a patent may claim priority from the filing date of its
`
`provisional application if the specification of the provisional application contains a
`
`written description of the inventions as claimed in the patent, and the manner and
`
`process of making and using those claimed inventions, sufficient to enable an
`
`ordinarily skilled artisan to practice those claimed inventions.

`V. Analysis
`
`16. The Motorola provisional contains the same written description as the
`
`Motorola patent. This common written description supports every claim of the
`
`Motorola patent sufficient to enable ordinarily skilled artisans to practice those
`
`claims. The following claim chart identifies each claim feature of the claims of the
`
`Motorola patent, along with exemplary support from the written description of the
`
`Motorola provisional.

`defining at least two sequences
`derived from at least one
`constant amplitude zero
`autocorrelation sequence,
`wherein the at least two
`sequences have a same
`sequence length, and wherein
`the sequences are derived with
`different numbers which are

`“In a first step, the UE 1500 defines 1400
`a plurality of spread sequences derived
`from a plurality of constant amplitude
`zero autocorrelation (CAZAC)
`sequences.”
`¶ [0050].
`
`“As used herein, the CAZAC, Chu and
`GCL sequences can be used
`interchangeably.”
`¶ [0028].
`
`“Specific RACH preamble sequencing
`can be defined. Since the sequence length
`equals to fifteen, a Chu-sequence can be
`selected which is defined as
`
`
`
`
`
`where M=15, and p is relatively prime to
`M.” ¶ [0030].
`
`“To generate the twenty unique signature
`sequences, a sequence identifier s is first
`
`computed via (cid:1871)(cid:3404)2(cid:3400)(cid:1856)(cid:3397)(cid:1863) where
`(cid:1856)(cid:3404)0,…,9 corresponds to the delay of
`the Chu-sequence and (cid:1863)(cid:3404)0,1 is the
`
`index of the Walsh sequence. The
`resulting s-th RACH preamble sequence
`(with length 2M) is then given by

`“In a next step, the UE selects 1404 one
`of the signature sequences, which is used
`1406 in a preamble for a RACH.”
`¶ [0050].
`
`“In a next step, the UE transmits 1410 the
`RACH preamble using the selected slot,
`signature sequence, and power, and then
`monitors 1412 for a positive acquisition
`indicator (ACKnowledgement) from the
`node-B 1502.”

`
`“UE monitors 1430 the downlink control
`channel for a fixed amount of time to
`obtain 1432 scheduling information for

`“In a next step, the UE transmits 1410 the
`RACH preamble using the selected slot,
`signature sequence, and power, and the
`monitors 1412 for a positive acquisition
`indicator (ACKnowledgement) from the
`node-B 1502. If no positive acquisition
`indicator is detected, in a next step, the
`UE may wait 1414 for a period of time or
`the UE changes 1416 transmission power
`with a new access slot and a new
`randomly selected signature until the
`maximum number of transmissions or
`maximum power is reached.”

`
`“FIG. 17 is the method of schedule-based
`RACH message transmission. UE
`monitors 1430 the downlink control
`channel for a fixed amount of time to
`obtain 1432 scheduling information for
`the RACH message. The Node-B can be
`signaled for RACH message transmission,
`and the RACH message can then be sent
`1434 as scheduled. Node-B schedules
`1436 RACH message transmission after
`the RACH ACK is sent. Node-B will
`receive 1438 RACH message at its
`schedule time and frequency.”
`¶ [0053].
`
`“FIG. 18 is the method of contention-
`based RACH message transmission. UE
`sends 1440 the RACH message upon
`RACH ACK is received. In the next step,
`UE listens 1442 the downlink control
`channel for RACH message ACK to
`determine 1444 whether the message is
`received by Node-B. Node-B will receive
`1446 RACH message after the RACH
`ACK is sent. When the message is
`received 1448, a RACH message ACK
`should be sent 1450.”
`¶ [0054].
`
`“FIG. 19 is ACK-based RACH message
`transmission approach. A RACH message

`RACH MSG (message) ACK from Node-
`B for clear of RACH message channel.

`
`“Once UE receives ACK from Node-B
`for RACH access, UE sends the RACH
`message in the predefined channel.”

`
`“Advantageously, the present invention
`provides a CDM type of RACH with a
`MC-CDMA approach in the EUTRA
`system. There is no reservation of time
`slots or sub-carriers involved, which
`hresults in zero RACH overhead.”
`¶ [0056].
`
`“The present invention provides the
`advantage of enhancing capacity of the E-
`UTRA system pursuant to the above
`embodiments. In particular, providing the
`RACH preamble sequencing without the
`need for reserved RACH access resources
`enhances the peak rate of data
`transmission and can reduce latency
`issues for data transmissions. One can
`also expect to achieve higher sector and
`user packet call throughput.
`Notwithstanding these benefits, these
`embodiments can be realized with only
`minimal changes to the relevant 3GPP,
