`

`
`I, Dr. Raziq Yaqub, hereby declare that:
`
`1.
`
`I am over the age of 21, and I have personal knowledge of the facts
`
`contained herein unless otherwise indicated.
`
`2.
`
`I earned my Ph.D. in wireless communications from Keio University,
`
`Tokyo, Japan in 1998, and my MBA in marketing from Fairleigh Dickenson
`
`University, New Jersey, USA in 2004. I received my Bachelor of Science degree
`
`in Electrical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology in
`
`Peshawar, Pakistan in 1987, and my Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering
`
`from the same University in 1993.
`
`3.
`
`I remained the Director of Technical Training at NIKSUN, Inc. until
`
`May 2015. NIKSUN develops a wide array of real-time and forensics-based
`
`cybersecurity and network performance management solutions for government &
`
`intelligence agencies, service providers, financial services companies, and large
`
`enterprises such as retailers and manufacturers.
`
`4.
`
`From January 2010 to January 2013, and prior to joining NIKSUN in
`
`December 2012, I was an associate professor/adjunct professor at the Stevens
`
`Institute of Technology and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga teaching
`
`courses in 4G/Mobile Broadband System, Advanced Metering Infrastructure and
`
`Cyber Security, Smart Grid, and Power Systems, among others.
`
`
`

`
`APPL-1012 / Page 2 of 88
`
`

`
`5.
`
`From 2001 to 2009, I was a Research Director (2001-2005) and an
`
`Executive Director (2005-2009) at Toshiba America Research, Inc. (TARI) where
`
`I performed as well as supervised research dealing with IP core networks.
`
`6.
`
`From 1999 to 2001, I was an Assistant Manager at KDDI Japan.
`
`After I received my Ph.D. degree in 1998, I also worked as a Research Engineer
`
`for Nokia Research Center Japan before beginning work at KDDI.
`
`7.
`
`A true and correct copy of my Curriculum Vitae is attached hereto as
`
`Attachment A.
`
`8.
`
`During my time at TARI and, in fact, since 1999, I participated as a
`
`member in various working groups of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project
`
`(3GPP) to develop technical specifications for various technologies such as 4G
`
`LTE and others. I also filed 34 patents and received inventor of the year award in
`
`2014, from New Jersey Hall of Fame.
`
`9.
`
`3GPP is a global initiative partnership that unities seven 3GPP
`
`Organizational Partners from Asia, Europe and North America, the Association of
`
`Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) and Telecommunication Technology
`
`Committee (TTC) from Japan, the China Communications Standards Association
`
`(CCSA) from China, the Telecommunications Standards Development Society
`
`(TSDSI) from India, the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) from
`
`Korea, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and the
`
`
`
`-3-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 3 of 88
`
`

`
`Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) from the United
`
`States. The goal of 3GPP is to provide its members with an environment to
`
`produce reports and specifications that define technologies covering cellular
`
`telecommunications networks, including User Equipment or Mobile Device (UE)
`
`technologies, Radio Access Network (RAN) technologies, Core Network (CN)
`
`technologies, and service and system capabilities—including work on codecs,
`
`security, and quality of service. The specifications also provide hooks for
`
`interworking with non-3GPP networks including Wi-Fi networks.
`
`10.
`
`The technical specifications developed by 3GPP are contribution-
`
`driven by the 3GPP member companies. 3GPP has four Technical Specification
`
`Groups (TSGs): Radio Access Networks (RAN), Service & Systems Aspects
`
`(SA), Core Networks & Terminals (CT), and GSM EDGE Radio Access Networks
`
`(GERAN) (GERAN is currently inactive). The Working Groups within the TSGs
`
`meet regularly and also have a quarterly plenary meeting where member
`
`companies’ contributions, draft specification, and other discussion documents are
`
`presented for approval.
`
`11.
`
`From 1999-2001, I was the chairman of Working Group-1 Mobile
`
`Wireless Internet Forum; from 2002-2003, I was the 3GPP Rapporteur for the
`
`TR33.817 3GPP Technical Report, and throughout my time as a member of 3GPP,
`
`I served as the Chairman of various Technical Standards Ad-hoc meetings and
`
`
`
`-4-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 4 of 88
`
`

`
`groups, and as a contributing member to different technical standards groups,
`
`where I submitted more than 150 contributions
`
`12. Based upon my ten years as a regular attendee and a contributor of
`
`3GPP meetings from 1999 to 2009, an ad-hoc Working Group Chairman, Working
`
`Group Rapporteur, and a member of a multitude of different Working Groups
`
`(collectively “my experience”), I have been asked to identify and confirm the date
`
`of the document listed below, which is a discussion document from a 3GPP
`
`Working Group that was distributed on 3GPP’s website or otherwise made
`
`publicly available:
`
`TSG-RAN WG2 #49, R2-052744, “Filtering for UE Power
`
`Headroom Measurement,” Seoul, Korea, Nov. 7-11, 2005 (“R2-052744”) 1
`
`13. R2-052744 is exhibit APPL-1004 in this proceeding. I downloaded
`
`the copy of R2-052744 in APPL-1004 from the 3GPP website at the URL:
`
`http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG2_RL2/TSGR2_49/Documents/. It is
`
`alternatively available on the 3GPP website at the URL:
`
`http://www.3gpp.org/DynaReport/TDocExMtg--R2-49--24285.htm.
`
`14. R2-052744 is what 3GPP members call a contribution. Contribution
`
`documents are prepared by either an individual member or a group of member
`
`companies who want to discuss and/or propose a new feature or change(s) to an
`
`
`1
`TSG-RAN WG2 is also known as RAN2, and its documents are prefixed with “R2-”.
`
`
`
`-5-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 5 of 88
`
`

`
`existing feature in a technical specification. The document describes the proposed
`
`change, which is then discussed at a Working Group Meeting. The proposed
`
`change becomes part of the associated technical specification(s) upon approval by
`
`the Working Group or the 3GPP Plenary Group if the targeted specification was
`
`under change control.
`
`15. R2-052744 was presented and discussed at meeting #49 of TSG-RAN
`
`Working Group 2 in Seoul, Korea, on November 7-11, 2005. This is confirmed by
`
`the meeting list and the range of TDocs for the TSG RAN 2 Working Group (R2-
`
`052700 to R2-053174) (Attachment B, “R2-49,”
`
`http://www.3gpp.org/dynareport/Meetings-R2.htm?Itemid=406).
`
`16.
`
`Selecting the “Files” link associated with the 3GPPRAN2#49 meeting
`
`presents a portal that includes all materials from this meeting. (Attachment C,
`
`http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG2_RL2/TSGR2_49/). To determine when
`
`R2-052744 was uploaded and freely accessible on 3GPP’s website, different
`
`methods may be used.
`
`17.
`
`For example, at the time of my experience, it was 3GPP’s common
`
`practice to publicly announce Working Group meetings on their Webpage—and,
`
`around the time of the meeting (either before or after)—upload contribution
`
`documents related to the meeting onto 3GPP’s server so that members and the
`
`public could review and download the documents. This practice is confirmed by
`
`
`
`-6-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 6 of 88
`
`

`
`an Internet Archive capture of the 3GPP FAQ webpage from the relevant time of
`
`my experience (Attachment D,
`
`https://web.archive.org/web/20051225051904/http://www.3gpp.org/faq/faq_2005_
`
`2.htm). In the FAQ, under the “Documents and Meetings” heading, and in
`
`response to the question “Where can I download documents for an upcoming
`
`meeting?,” the webpage confirms that “[e]ach meeting invitation will contain
`
`details of where the documents are stored for the meeting” and that meeting
`
`documents were available for download prior to the meeting date, stating that “[i]t
`
`is advisable for delegates attending a meeting to download the documents available
`
`prior to the meeting from the ftp server and onto their personal computers.”
`
`18.
`
`For instance, a search of the Internet Archive’s records for 3GPP’s
`
`website contains an archived version of 3GPP’s homepage from November 6, 2005
`
`(Attachment E,
`
`https://web.archive.org/web/20051106010021/http://www.3gpp.org/), which
`
`refreshes and confirms my recollection as to how 3GPP’s website looked and
`
`could be navigated in late 2005 and early 2006. Directly from this webpage,
`
`meeting information as well as Working Group documents could be accessed. For
`
`example, the link “Technical Bodies” directs me to a different webpage that
`
`includes a “RAN WG2 Radio Layer2 spec & Radio Layer3 RR spec,” link (shown
`
`in the graphic). Selecting this item leads to a “TSG RAN WG2 (Radio layer 2 and
`
`
`
`-7-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 7 of 88
`
`

`
`Radio layer 3 RR)” webpage including links to contribution documents from
`
`working group meetings stored on an FTP server. Specifically, selecting the
`
`“Documents area” link leads directly to the top level of the FTP index of the TSG
`
`RAN 2 Working Group. An archived version of the top level of the FTP index
`
`from November 27, 2005 confirms this. (Attachment F,
`
`https://web.archive.org/web/20051127041632/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/W
`
`G2_RL2/). To navigate to the written contributions for the 3GPPRAN2#49
`
`meeting starting at the top level of the FTP index for the RAN 2 Working Group,
`
`select “TSGR2_49” and then select “Documents.” A list of all documents related
`
`to the 3GPPRAN2#49 meeting is presented. A user can then freely download any
`
`of the written contributions, including R2-052744. An archived version of the
`
`3GPPRAN2#49 meeting document list from April 19, 2006 confirms this
`
`(Attachment G,
`
`http://web.archive.org/web/20060419091243/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG
`
`2_RL2/TSGR2_49/Documents/).
`
`19. Additionally, the 3GPP website publically advertises the dates and
`
`locations of future 3GPP meetings in order to make these meetings known to the
`
`public in advance. For example, a listing of future meetings for the RAN 2
`
`Working Group can be accessed from the same “TSG RAN WG2 (Radio layer 2
`
`and Radio layer 3 RR)” webpage from which the written contributions can be
`
`
`
`-8-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 8 of 88
`
`

`
`accessed, as discussed above. From this page, select “Next meeting information &
`
`previous meeting reports and documents” to see a list of upcoming RAN 2
`
`meetings.
`
`20. An archived version of this meeting schedule webpage from August
`
`19, 2005 publically advertises that meeting #49 (the meeting at which R2-052744
`
`was presented) is going to take place from “2005-11-07” to “2005-11-11” in
`
`“ASIA.” (Attachment H,
`
`http://web.archive.org/web/20050819132117/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-
`
`info/Meetings-R2.htm). A user could register for the meeting by clicking the
`
`“Register” link associated with the #49 meeting.
`
`21.
`
`Thus, although attendance of 3GPP meetings are generally limited to
`
`3GPP members and other participants such as observers and guests registered in
`
`advance, and a non-3GPP member of the public (or other unauthorized person)
`
`would not be able to readily attend an advertised 3GPP Working Group or Plenary
`
`meeting, the member of the public would have been made aware of meeting dates
`
`and times on 3GPP’s website and could download and access the contribution
`
`documents and other documents offered for discussion as soon as they were
`
`uploaded to 3GPP’s server. 3GPP’s FAQ webpage from the time also confirms
`
`that “[n]o password is needed to access any information on the 3GPP website, all
`
`information is openly published.” (Attachment D at p. 10)
`
`
`
`-9-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 9 of 88
`
`

`
`22.
`
`The point of making meeting announcements public and publishing
`
`the contribution documents, technical specifications, etc. onto 3GPP’s website was
`
`to make the industry aware of the Working Groups’ efforts and to solicit additional
`
`contributions from the industry prior to finalizing a given standard, or for starting
`
`work on any upcoming releases. Such input from outside the Working Group was
`
`desired and many times led to additional membership within the group and greater
`
`input into the developed technical specifications going forward.
`
`23. Concerning the date that R2-052744 was publicly made available on
`
`the 3GPP servers, in the weeks prior to a Working Group meeting, contribution
`
`documents and technical specifications are created and uploaded onto the
`
`appropriate directory within the public file server (i.e., the “Documents” directory
`
`shown in Attachment C). This process is confirmed and corroborated by the
`
`current 3GPP FAQ Webpage (Attachment I at pp. 8-9, “How can I determine when
`
`a meeting contribution document (TDoc) became publicly available?”). Based on
`
`my understanding of 3GPP’s publication practices, given my experience, the FAQ
`
`webpage accurately describes the time leading up to Working Group meetings:
`
`TDoc numbers start to be allocated some weeks before a 3GPP
`meeting, and the authors then create them and they or the group’s
`secretary uploads them to the public file server as soon as possible.
`Some may have been distributed to the group’s members in draft form
`for review, using the email exploder, in advance of the final one
`becoming available, and for some groups, it is normal to distribute
`even the final TDoc via the exploder, where the secretary picks it up
`
`
`
`-10-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 10 of 88
`
`

`
`and copies it to the public server. Typically, at the start of a meeting,
`around 50% of the TDocs are available.
`
`Attachment I at pp. 8-9.
`
`24. A true and correct copy of the “Documents” directory associated with
`
`3GPPRAN2#49 is attached (Attachment J,
`
`http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG2_RL2/TSGR2_49/Documents/). As shown,
`
`many of the documents listed in the “Documents” directory, including R2-052744,
`
`were already uploaded and available by the start of the 3GPPRAN2#49 meeting.
`
`25.
`
`In particular, the file “R2-052744.zip,” which contains the R2-052744
`
`contribution document, has an upload/last modified date of November 2, 2005. I
`
`downloaded the R2-052744.zip file and extracted the Word document within (R2-
`
`05277.doc). A PDF version of this Word document is contained in exhibit APPL-
`
`1004.
`
`26.
`
`To confirm public availability of the R2-052744.zip file on the 3GPP
`
`website in late 2005 and early 2006, I searched the Internet Archive’s records for
`
`3GPP’s website and accessed
`
`http://web.archive.org/web/20060419091243/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG
`
`2_RL2/TSGR2_49/Documents/, the location on 3GPP’s web site at which R2-
`
`052744.zip was accessible to any member of the public without restriction during
`
`that time. This archive of the documents list from the 3GPPRAN2#49 meeting
`
`(attached as Attachment G) was captured on April 19, 2006. Attachment G
`
`
`
`-11-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 11 of 88
`
`

`
`includes a list of several .zip files, including R2-052744.zip, as shown in the
`
`following excerpt:
`
`27.
`
`The text “R2-052744.zip” provides a link to a .zip file titled R2-
`
`
`
`052744.zip
`
`(http://web.archive.org/web/20060419091243/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/W
`
`G2_RL2/TSGR2_49/Documents/R2-052744.zip). By clicking the “R2-
`
`052744.zip” link contained in this April 19, 2006, archive of the document list, I
`
`downloaded and opened this .zip file and found that it contains a single Microsoft
`
`Word file. The Microsoft Word file is a true and correct copy of R2-052744 (a
`
`copy of which in PDF form is Attachment K to this declaration). The copy of R2-
`
`052744 in Attachment K from the Internet Archive is identical to the copy in
`
`exhibit APPL-1004 excluding the exhibit labeling at the bottom of each page.
`
`Accordingly, this Internet Archive record further confirms to me that the written
`
`
`
`-12-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 12 of 88
`
`

`
`contribution R2-052744 was publically available for download no later than early
`
`2006 (specifically April 19, 2006).
`
`28.
`
` In the excerpt from the 3GPP website printout shown above, there is
`
`also a date and time stamp (02 November 2005 12:58) to the left of the link to R2-
`
`052744.zip. Based on my experience, having uploaded .zip files to 3GPP’s
`
`publicly available server, I understand this date stamp to mean that R2-052744.zip
`
`was uploaded to 3GPP’s publicly available website on November 2, 2005, and that
`
`any member of the public could have downloaded the .zip file, extracted the Word
`
`document it enclosed, and viewed the contents of that Word document without
`
`restriction on November 2, 2005, and thereafter. I have no reason to believe this
`
`date stamp is inaccurate.
`
`29. Moreover, as summarized on 3GPP’s FAQ webpage, which is
`
`consistent with my understanding of 3GPP’s publication practices at the relevant
`
`time, distribution via exploder emails also renders documents open to the public:
`
`This distribution on the group’s email exploder is important, because
`once that happens, the document is effectively in the public domain,
`since membership of the exploder is open to all and is unpoliced.
`
`See Attachment I at pp. 8-9 (“How can I determine when a meeting contribution
`
`document (TDoc) became publicly available?”).
`
`30.
`
`Searching the email exploder archive for the TSG RAN WG2 from
`
`the first week of November, 2005
`
`
`
`-13-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 13 of 88
`
`

`
`(http://list.etsi.org/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0511&L=3GPP_TSG_RAN_WG2&F=&
`
`S=&P=11093), a message from Joakim Bergström on the subject “Ericsson tdocs
`
`to RAN2#49 (I)” to the group’s email exploder
`
`(3GPP_TSG_RAN_WG2@LIST.ETSI.ORG) list indicates that R2-052744 was
`
`distributed to the group on Tuesday, November 1, 2005 at 18:50:54, the day before
`
`it was uploaded/last modified file in the FTP directory. As subscription to a
`
`group’s email exploder list was open to all, any member of the public, whether or
`
`not they were a member of 3GPP, or attendee or non-attendee of any Working
`
`Group meeting, would have received the e-mail with R2-052744 attached and the
`
`notification that R2-052744 would be discussed in the 3GPPRAN2#49 meeting.
`
`31. As shown in the archived version of 3GPP’s homepage reproduced in
`
`Attachment E, a link to the 3GPP Email exploder lists could be directly accessed
`
`from the “Email Lists” link on the 3GPP homepage. Similarly, 3GPP’s FAQ from
`
`the time provides instructions on how to subscribe to a 3GPP email exploder list
`
`and notes that discussion archives for the 3GPP exploder lists could be accessed
`
`using the 3GPP’s website. (See Attachment D at p. 4). Nonetheless, even if (1) a
`
`non-working group member of the public was not subscribed to the TSG RAN
`
`WG2 email exploder list before November 1, 2005, or (2) was unable to locate R2-
`
`052744 in the TSG RAN WG2 email exploder list archive, any member of the
`
`public could have accessed R2-052744 on November 2, 2005, when R2-052744
`
`
`
`-14-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 14 of 88
`
`

`
`was uploaded and available for download in the “Documents” file directory, as
`
`directed to from the 3GPP homepage.
`
`32.
`
`Further, as confirmed from the minutes of the 3GPPRAN2#49
`
`meeting, I know that R2-052744 was not revised during the meeting. If R2-
`
`052744 was revised, the meeting minutes would reflect a document revision
`
`number (See reports at
`
`http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG2_RL2/TSGR2_49/Report/). No such
`
`document revision number for R2-052744 is indicated in the minutes from the
`
`3GPPRAN2#49 meeting. Similarly, the upload/last modified date of R2-052744 is
`
`11/2/2005 12:58 PM
`
`(http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG2_RL2/TSGR2_49/Documents/). Therefore,
`
`the document that was freely accessible and available for download on 3GPP’s
`
`website since November 2, 2005, is the same version of R2-052744 that currently
`
`resides in the “Documents” directory associated with 3GPPRAN2#49.
`
`33. Accordingly, for the reasons expressed above, I can confirm that any
`
`interested member of the public could readily locate R2-052744 on 3GPP’s
`
`website as of November 2, 2005, because links to the document were readily
`
`discernible as part of a non-password protected webpage/FTP that was designed to
`
`disseminate Working Group information and documents to 3GPP’s members and
`
`to the public. Additionally, as discussed above, the meeting at which R2-052744
`
`
`
`-15-
`
`APPL-1012 / Page 15 of 88
`
`

`
`was presented (meeting 3GPPRAN2#49) was publically advertised on the 3GPP
`
`website, and persons interested in documents related to the meeting knew where to
`
`find such documents on the 3GPP website. Further, the Internet Archive records
`
`discussed above confirm that R2-052744 was publically available for download on
`
`3GPP’s website no later than April 19, 2006.
`
`34.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own
