`
`Level of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`
`9. In this analysis, I have assumed that a person has ordinary skill in the art if the person has a Bachelor
`
`of Science degree in electrical engineering or a related field and around two years of experience in the
`
`design or implementation of wireless communications systems, or the equivalent, or six years of experience
`
`in the design or implementation of wireless communications systems, or the equivalent. I am very familiar
`
`with the level of knowledge meeting this standard. My own experience and education exceeds those levels,
`
`and did so throughout the time of the applications. Additional details are shown in my attached Curriculum
`
`Vitae.
`

`
`10. I have applied the following claim constructions in this analysis:

`
`“coding that reduces intersymbol interference”
`
`(cl. 1, 2, 6, 9, 14, 16)

`
`

`
`“configured for independent code division

`
`(cl. 1, 2, 6, 9, 14, 16)
`
`
`
`“a module for converting radio frequency to
`baseband or very near baseband in a single
`frequency conversion without an intermediate
`frequency”
`
`The ’892 Patent’s Reference to the 1998 Paper
`
`11. I have reviewed the ’892 patent and the 1998 paper. In particular, I have considered the
`
`following paragraph:
`
`Although channel effects are a dominant disturbance in conventional cellular
`
`systems, in other types of systems the dominant disturbance to transmitted signals
`
`may arise from other sources. For example, a new relatively low cost, low range
`
`wireless transmission system (defined by the recently developed “Bluetooth”
`
`technology) has been proposed for localized two-way data transmissions.
`
`Bluetooth systems are envisioned as a universal radio interface in the 2.45 GHz
`
`frequency band that enable portable electronic devices to connect and
`
`communicate wirelessly via short-range, ad hoc networks. Readers interested in
`
`various details regarding the Bluetooth technology are referred to the article
`
`entitled “BLUETOOTH—The universal radio interface for ad hoc, wireless
`
`connectivity” authored by Jaap Haartsen and found in the Ericsson Review,
`
`Telecommunications Technology Journal No. 3, 1998, the disclosure of which is
`
`incorporated here by reference. Of particular interest for this discussion is the fact
`
`that channel effects associated with the Bluetooth air interface may not be the
`
`dominant disturbance to transmitted signals in such systems, due to the short-range
`
`nature of the air interface links. Accordingly, other slowly varying disturbances
`
`may be more problematic than channel effects in such systems.
`
`12. In reading the above paragraph, I do not understand it to refer to or incorporate any particular
`
`material from the 1998 paper into the ’892 patent. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`paragraph as a sort of informative aside, suggesting the 1998 paper as distinct, but potentially interesting
`
`read for readers who might be interested in its details.
`
`Detection vs. Demodulation
`
`13. Signal detection is recognizing the existence of a signal. Signal demodulation is translating a
`
`modulated carrier wave into the information that it contains. Signal detection is distinct from signal
`
`demodulation. A system could detect signals but decide not to demodulate the signal or be unable to
`
`demodulate the signal. Demodulation by definition relies upon a demodulator. However, detection does
`
`not necessarily rely upon a demodulator.
`
`Bluetooth History
`
`14. Today, the term Bluetooth is widely associated with wireless music transmission and other local
`
`wireless connections. That was not always the case. Bluetooth did not become useful and widely adopted
`
`for such audio transmission until after the introduction of the Bluetooth version 2.0 Specification with
`
`Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) in 2004. The Bluetooth version 1.0 and 1.0B Specifications were widely
`
`considered flawed and received little industry adoption. The next Bluetooth Specification versions, 1.1 and
`
`1.2 improved upon 1.0 but still did not provide bandwidth sufficient for wirelessly transmitting audio
`
`received from a portable audio player. The Bluetooth version 2.0 Specification was the next released
`
`version after 1.2, and was released in 2004, bringing about Bluetooth’s widespread use for music
`
`transmission. However, during the 2000-2002 timeframe, Bluetooth was known primarily for its use in
`
`lower-bandwidth data connections such as those between a keyboard and a computer, or between a
`
`computer and a printer. Although there were some early Bluetooth hands-free headsets in that era, quality
`
`was poor and audio transmission was generally unsuccessful. One of ordinary skill in the art, in 2001,
`
`would have primarily associated the term Bluetooth with lower-bandwidth data connections—not for
`
`wireless transmissions of audio received from a portable audio player.
`
`
`
`DPSK Encoding vs. Viterbi Decoding
`
`15. The Viterbi algorithm is a decoding algorithm used to decode convolutional encoding.
`
`Convolutional encoding is a type of error-correcting encoding.
`
`16. Differential phase shift keying (DPSK) is not a convolutional encoding, and is not an error-
`
`correcting encoding. DPSK is an information modulation scheme that represents transmitted data as
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`
`changes in a wave’s phase. Applying a Viterbi decoder to a DPSK signal would not decode the DPSK
`
`encoding of that signal. The Viterbi algorithm can be used to undo intersymbol interference effects
`
`introduced by a filter. This is sometimes called equalization, and the component applying the Viterbi
`
`algorithm is often referred to as a Viterbi equalizer. Filter-induced intersymbol interference results from
`
`the filter hardware, and the Viterbi equalizer is correcting for that—the Viterbi equalizer is not decoding an
`
`encoding.
`
`Interference: Avoiding vs. Suppressing
`
`17. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand suppressing interference to be a partial reduction
`
`in interference, and also would understand that avoiding interference would be a greater reduction than
`
`merely suppressing it.
`
`Sub-Carrier Matrix for Frequency Hopping
`
`18. I have reviewed the Giannakis paper. In particular, I have reviewed the statement on page 531 of
`
`Giannakis claiming that its work has practical appeal in “ad hoc (Bluetooth[8]-like) networking if
`
`frequency-hopping is introduced via ɸm along the lines of [26].” Giannakis states that ɸm is a subcarrier
`
`selector matrix defined on page 531 as:
`
` [ɸm]l,k = 1, if exp(j2πl/N) ɛ Fm, and 0 otherwise
`
`19. The ’892 patent does not include any disclosure of a subcarrier selector matrix, let alone such a
`
`matrix defined using the specific algorithm for ɸm. Similarly, the 1998 paper does not include any
`
`disclosure of a subcarrier selector matrix, let alone such a matrix defined using the specific algorithm for
`
`ɸm. Giannakis explains that it is only applicable to an ad-hoc (Bluetooth-like) network if a subcarrier
`
`selector matrix is used, and specifically, such a matrix meeting the definition of ɸm. Accordingly, Giannakis
`
`itself acknowledges that it cannot be combined with either the ’892 patent or the 1998 paper. One of
`
`ordinary skill in the art, reading Giannakis, the ’892 patent, and the 1998 paper would conclude that it is
`
`not practical to combine Giannakis with either the ’892 patent or the 1998 paper.
`
`20. The Giannakis paper states on page 536 that it was received on April 18, 2000. Version 1.0b of the
`
`Bluetooth Specification was the current version of Bluetooth at that time. Bluetooth 1.0b is a fast
`
`frequency-hopping system. It uses a frequency hopping pattern of 1600 hops per second. That is a standard
`
`feature across other versions of Bluetooth as well, including versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 2.1 – which are all
`
`also fast frequency-hopping systems.
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`
`21. I have reviewed the paper by S. Zhou, G. Giannakis, and A. Swami, titled “Frequency-Hopped
`
`Generalized MC-CDMA for Multipath and Interference Suppression,” MILCOM 2000 Proceedings. I
`
`noticed that the paper explains that “coding for fast hopping systems is beyond the scope of this paper.”
`
`One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that Zhou was not applicable to Bluetooth, because
`
`Bluetooth is a fast hopping system. Reading that express disclaimer, one of ordinary skill in the art would
`
`not have a reason or motivation to combine Giannakis with the ’892 patent.
`
`22. Orthogonality in wireless communications refers to multiple transmissions being perfectly
`
`separable from each other based on the mathematical property of having a dot product equal to zero.
`
`Bluetooth wireless piconets do not coordinate amongst each other. As a result, there are sometimes
`
`collisions in time and frequency. A fundamental design aspect of a wireless transmission system is whether
`
`or not it requires coordination between different pairs of wireless transmission. Bluetooth’s design depends
`
`on a lack of central coordination. This is fundamentally different from a system in which multiple
`
`transmitting pairs use centrally coordinated frequency hopping patterns to achieve orthogonality.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that this declaration
`
`is true, complete, and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
