`
`Evolved Wireless argues “as to motivation to combine, the Petition’s
`allegations are conclusory and unsupported by evidence.” This
`argument is not persuasive. As shown above, the Petition includes a

`
`Petitioner
`
`EW does not dispute most of Petitioner’s “detailed and supported showing
`of reasons to combine the cited Panasonic references,” including the following
`reasons:
`(i) All three Panasonic references are in the same narrow field of endeavor: RACH
`preamble sequence design in 3GPP TSG RAN WG1.
`(ii) The same company, Panasonic, submitted all three Panasonic references to the
`same 3GPP working group.
`(iii) All three Panasonic references are directed to the same problem of optimizing the
`RACH preamble correlation properties.
`(iv) All three Panasonic references propose using repeated preamble sequences.
`(v) Panasonic 114 compared certain sequences with cyclic-shifted sequences and
`concluded that the cyclic-shifted sequences perform even better.

`
`Petitioner
`
`Rather than dispute these points, EW argues that: (i) Panasonic 114
`teaches away from the other Panasonic references, and (ii) Petitioner
`did not explain how skilled artisans would have combined the
`Panasonic references.

`
`We propose the N=449 (prime number) cyclic-shifted CAZAC

`
`Petitioner
`
`As a matter of common sense, the skilled artisan viewing Panasonic
`792 and Panasonic 114 together would have used the better-
`performing cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences in place of the
`Zadoff-Chu sequences. ([Ex. 1014, Min Decl.] at ¶ 101.) This
`would have been a routine design choice well within the skilled
`artisan’s knowledge and capabilities. (Id.) At a minimum, the skilled
`artisan would have found it obvious to try Panasonic 114’s approach
`of using cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences within the preamble
`structure of Panasonic 792, particularly because Panasonic 114 touts
`the benefits of those sequences and cites to Panasonic 792. (Id.)

`
`A.
`
`Q. How, if at all, do the lengths of the sequences in the Panasonic
`references affect your opinion on whether the teachings of the
`Panasonic references are combinable?
`It does not really affect at all. Clearly both documents were trying
`different sequence length. And the fact that Panasonic 114 found one
`that seems to work better than others and as a result, be proposed as a –
`the particular sequence to use does not affect the fact that the
`Panasonic 792 was doing all this simulation of repeating the sequence
`of different lengths. It doesn’t really affect at all. They are very much
`like supporting each other as a – you know, during the process of
`evaluating different scenarios.

`It has to, otherwise you lose the orthogonality between the different
