`
`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a US. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no
`effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent
`in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an international
`application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same
`page 1 of 3
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 1/53
`
`

`

`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international
`patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional documents and fees in countries where patent
`protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an
`application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ
`in various respects from the patent law of the United States, applicants are advised to seek guidance from specific
`foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely.
`
`Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States, the Director of the USPTO must
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a US. patent application
`serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing receipt contains further information and
`guidance as to the status of applicants license for foreign filing.
`
`Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, "General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically, the
`section entitled "Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for filing foreign
`patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO Contact Center at 800-786-9199, or it
`can be viewed on the USPTO website at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/generaI/index.html.
`
`For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents, trademarks and copyrights), you may wish
`to consult the US. Government website, http://www.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of Commerce initiative,
`this website includes self-help "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to protect intellectual property in specific
`countries such as China, Korea and Mexico. For questions regarding patent enforcement issues, applicants may
`call the US. Government hotline at 1-866-999—HALT (1-866—999-4158).

`
`if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184,
`LICENSE GRANTED" followed by a date appears on this form. Such licenses are issued in all applications where
`the conditions for issuance of a license have been met, regardless of whether or not a license may be required as
`set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this license are set forth in 37 CFR 5.15(a) unless an earlier
`license has been issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to revocation upon written notification. The
`date indicated is the effective date of the license, unless an earlier license of similar scope has been granted under
`37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
`
`This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or after the effective date thereof unless
`it is revoked. This license is automatically transferred to any related applications(s) filed under 37 CFR 1.53(d). This
`license is not retroactive.
`
`The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a licensee for the security of the subject matter
`as imposed by any Government contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to espionage and the national
`security or the export of technical data. Licensees should apprise themselves of current regulations especially with

`
`Title of the Invention: UL ACK/NACK Indexing

`
`Related Standard Specification: TS 36.211
`
`[SPECIFICATION]
`
`PUSCH CONTROL CHANNEL MULTIPLEXING
`
`1. Objects of the Invention
`
`Generally,
`
`if a reception end normally receives data,
`
`it
`
`transmits
`
`a positive—acknowledgement
`
`(ACK)
`
`signal
`
`to a
`
`transmission end. Otherwise,
`
`if the reception end does not
`
`normally receive data, it transmits a negative—acknowledgment
`
`(NACK) ~signal
`
`to the transmission end,
`
`resulting in the
`
`increased reliability of data communication.
`
`Specifically,
`
`an ACK/NACK signal
`
`for use
`
`in a multi—carrier
`
`system is
`
`located in a
`
`two—dimensional
`
`time—frequency resource space.
`
`In
`
`order
`
`to
`
`receive
`
`the
`
`ACK/NACK
`
`signal,
`
`an
`
`ACK/NACK
`
`reception end needs to recognize a location of
`
`the ACK/NACK
`
`Signal
`
`located in the resource space.
`
`The present
`
`invention
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 11/53
`
`

`

`OPP-UT-2007-0050-US—P0
`
`provides
`
`a method
`
`for
`
`recognizing the order of
`
`location
`
`information of uplink ACK/NACK resources.
`
`2. Technical Field of
`
`the Invention and the Related Art
`
`thereof
`
`The multi—carrier
`
`system uses
`
`an SC—FDMA scheme
`
`to
`
`effectively transmit data via an uplink.
`
`Specifically,
`
`the
`
`multi-carrier 'system transmits
`
`information using a
`
`CAZAC
`
`sequence having a constant amplitude in a frequency area. For
`
`example,
`
`an
`
`LTE
`
`system includes
`
`a
`
`frame
`
`structure
`
`for
`
`performing
`
`a
`
`time—axis—directional
`
`orthogonal
`
`covering
`
`process on the CAZAC sequence,
`
`and transmits the resultant
`
`frame structure used as an uplink control
`
`information channel.
`
`The LTE system has a frame employing 14 or 12 OFDM symbols.
`
`In this acse,
`
`7 or
`
`6 OFDM symbols construct only one slot,
`
`and necessary information is transmitted in slot units.
`
`In
`
`this case, uplink control
`
`information is classified into a
`
`reference signal
`
`(RS) part
`
`and an information signal
`
`(IS)
`
`part.
`
`The RS part and the IS part are able to use different
`
`reference covering processes, and it can be recognized that a
`
`base station assigns one CAZAC sequence,
`
`a cyclic shift, and
`
`one orthogonal covering to a single mobile station.
`
`In order
`
`to implement an interference randomization effect,
`
`the CAZAC
`
`sequence for use in the uplink control
`
`information carries
`
`out either a cyclic shift hopping or a root sequence hopping,
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 12/53
`
`

`

`OPP—UT—2007—0050—US-P0 '
`
`and can also carry out
`
`the orthogonal cover hopping.
`
`In this
`
`case,
`
`a specific hopping pattern may be engaged between a
`
`single mobile station and the base station.
`
`Uplink link
`
`control
`
`information
`
`resources
`
`inform this
`
`single mobile
`
`station of a first CAZAC sequence to be initially used by the
`
`mobile station itself,
`
`the cyclic shift,
`
`and the orthogonal
`
`cover,
`
`such that
`
`the sequence,
`
`the cyclic shift, and/or
`
`the
`
`orthogonal
`
`cover may
`
`be
`
`hopped.
`
`Therefore,
`
`from the
`
`viewpoint of the mobile station,
`
`the mobile station needs. to
`
`recognize an information part
`
`to be initially used,
`
`a CAZAC
`
`root
`
`sequence number of
`
`the reference signal
`
`(RS) part,
`
`a
`
`cyclic shift number of this root sequence, and an orthogonal
`
`cover number.
`
`For example,
`
`the above-mentioned information
`
`may be directly transferred from the base station to the
`
`mobile station.
`
`For another
`
`example,
`
`the above—mentioned
`
`information may be derived from some parts of
`
`information
`

`
`2. Constructions and Operations of the Invention
`
`Information indicating resources of an uplink control
`
`information channel
`
`can
`
`be
`
`classified into 6
`
`kinds
`
`of
`
`information.
`
`— CAZAC root sequence number of Information Part
`
`— CAZAC cyclic shift number of Information Part
`
`— Orthogonal cover number of Information Part
`
`— CAZAC root sequence number of Reference Signal Part
`
`— CAZAC cyclic shift number of Reference Signal Part
`
`— Orthogonal cover number of Reference Signal Part
`
`A combination of the above six variables is mapped to
`
`one
`
`index one by one
`
`(i.e.,
`
`1:1 mapping),
`
`such that
`
`the
`
`mobile
`
`station can
`
`acquire
`
`control
`
`information
`
`channel
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 '- 14/53
`
`

`

`OPP-UT—2007-0050—US-P0
`
`information to be effectively used by
`
`the mobile station
`
`itself.
`
`Also,
`
`according to the 1:1 mapping relationship,
`
`resources which may have a negative influence upon the system
`
`are discarded,
`
`such
`
`that
`
`the
`
`system efficiency may
`
`be
`
`improved. When the present
`
`invention defines the above 1:1
`
`mapping relationship,
`
`it performs the 1:1 mapping according
`
`to four principles,
`
`such that
`
`it
`
`can improve
`
`the
`
`system
`
`efficiency.
`
`First Principle
`
`Generally,
`
`the number of cyclic shifts of
`
`the CAZAC
`
`sequence is equal
`
`to the number of sequence lengths. However,
`
`provided that different mobile stations use their neighboring
`
`cyclic shifts,
`
`and a delay spread of
`
`a channel used by the
`
`mobile stations is very large, and the degree of interference
`
`among the mobile stations becomes higher.
`
`In order to solve
`
`the above—mentioned problem,
`
`the first principle must prevent
`
`resources
`
`employing the
`
`same orthogonal covers
`
`from using
`
`neighboring cyclic shifts.
`
`Second Principle
`
`If the length of the orthogonal cover corresponding to
`
`the information part
`
`is 4 and a signal passes through high—
`
`speed channel,
`
`there arises interference between different
`
`orthogonal covers.
`
`In case of orthogonality of orthogonal
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 15/53
`
`

`

`OPP-UT-2007-OOSO—US—PO
`
`covers,
`
`channels experienced by individual
`
`symbols must be
`
`equal
`
`to
`
`each
`
`other
`
`and
`
`the
`
`channels
`
`are
`
`completely
`
`orthogonal
`
`to each other.
`
`In case of a high—speed changing
`
`channel,
`
`the orthogonality is broken,
`
`such that
`
`the broken
`
`orthogonality
`
`may
`
`affect
`
`different
`
`orthogonal
`
`covers.
`
`Specifically,
`
`if
`
`there
`
`are
`
`4
`
`kinds
`
`of orthogonal
`
`cover
`
`sequences
`
`(#1,
`
`#2,
`
`#3,
`
`and
`
`#4),
`
`an
`
`interference effect
`
`between only two orthogonal cover sequences
`
`is higher
`
`than
`
`the other
`
`interference effect
`
`among the 4 orthogonal cover
`
`sequences.
`
`For example,
`
`if the interference effect between '
`
`the sequence #1 and the other sequence #2 is high,
`
`the other
`
`interference effect between the remaining sequences #3 and #4
`
`is also high, and another inference effect between one of the
`
`sequence
`
`#1
`
`and
`
`#3
`
`and
`
`the other
`
`sequence
`
`#4 may
`
`be
`
`considered to be good.
`
`As a result,
`
`there must be considered
`
`the
`
`second principle which prevents
`
`a
`
`high—interference
`
`orthogonal
`
`cover
`
`from Ibeing assigned to different mobile
`
`stations employing both the same root sequence and the same
`
`cyclic shift.
`
`Third Principle
`
`The
`
`uplink
`
`control
`
`information
`
`channel
`
`supports
`
`different
`
`formats.
`
`In other words,
`
`a
`
`format of
`
`the uplink
`
`control
`
`information is
`
`changed according to an amount of
`
`information to be
`
`transmitted.
`
`Different
`
`formats must be
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 16/53
`
`

`

`OPP-UT-2007-0050-US-PO
`
`distinguished by different
`
`sources.
`
`The best method for
`
`allowing the base station to discriminate among different
`
`formats
`
`is that
`
`the base station assigns different cyclic
`
`shift values
`
`to the different' formats.
`
`In other words,
`
`different formats of control
`
`information may be distinguished
`
`from each other by their cyclic shifts.
`
`In order to transmit
`
`different control
`
`information formats
`
`to a
`
`resource block
`
`receiving
`
`only
`
`one
`
`control
`
`information,
`
`all
`
`kinds
`
`of
`
`available orthogonal covers are used within the range of one
`
`or
`
`two cyclic shifts according to one control
`
`information
`
`format.
`
`In order
`
`to perform multiplexing many more mobile
`
`stations,
`
`this third principle uses another cyclic shift.
`
`In
`
`this case,
`
`the third principle may be considered within the
`
`scope of the first and second principles.
`
`Fourth Principle
`
`In case of selecting an orthogonal cover of an uplink
`
`control
`
`information channel
`
`employing both the
`
`same
`
`root
`
`sequence and the same cyclic shift according to the above-
`
`mentioned second principle,
`
`the
`
`fourth principle performs
`
`number
`
`assignment
`
`to
`
`firstly use
`
`the
`
`best—performance
`
`orthogonal cover
`
`(which assigns the lowest
`
`interference to
`
`other orthogonal).
`
`In this case,
`
`in case of
`
`the same- or
`
`similar- performance orthogonal covers,
`
`the fourth principle
`
`may assign specific numbers
`
`to these orthogonal covers such
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 17/53
`
`

`

`OPP-UT-2007—0050-US—PO
`
`that the orthogonal covers may be firstly selected or used as
`
`necessary .
`
`The following embodiment may be proposed according to
`
`the above-mentioned four principles.
`
`In the following Table 1,
`
`the best orthogonal cover.
`
`number
`
`is in the order of {1; 2,
`
`3, 4}.
`
`That
`
`is,
`
`the best
`
`orthogonal cover
`
`is in the order of
`
`‘1’
`
`—>
`
`‘2',
`
`the next
`
`orthogonal cover is in the order of
`
`‘1’
`
`-9
`
`‘3’, and the worst
`
`orthogonal cover is in the order of ‘2"9 ‘3’.
`
`[Table 1]
`lazcnncsmuvau
`
`
`
`As can be seen from Table 1, ACK/NACK resources used as
`
`one control
`
`information format are mapped to the cyclic shift
`
`of
`
`the control
`
`information Channel and the orthogonal cover
`
`cover resource on a one—to—one basis (i.e., l:l mapping).
`
`In
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 18/53
`
`

`

`OPP—UT-ZOO7-0050-US-PO
`
`this case,
`
`the ACK/NACK resources are initially assigned to
`
`the
`
`first
`
`cyclic
`
`shift
`
`number
`
`according
`
`to
`
`the
`
`third
`
`principle,
`
`and are
`
`sequentially assigned to other cyclic
`
`shift numbers
`
`located behind the first cyclic shift number.
`
`In order
`
`to allow an interference amount of
`
`the orthogonal
`
`cover
`
`to be good within the range of one cyclic shift,
`
`two
`
`orthogonal
`
`covers
`
`(#1,
`
`#2)
`
`are assigned according to the
`
`second
`
`principle,
`
`the
`
`remaining
`
`orthogonal
`
`cover
`
`(#3)
`
`interacts with the next cyclic shift,
`
`such that ACK/NACK
`
`resources are assigned.
`
`In order to additionally assign the ACK/NACK resources,
`
`the orthogonal covers #1 and #2 are assigned.
`
`In this case,
`
`if cyclic shifts are adjacent
`
`to each other,
`
`the interference
`
`effect
`
`is very high,
`
`such that
`
`the present
`
`invention skips
`
`one cyclic shift according to the second principle.
`
`In this
`
`way,
`
`an interval between high—interference resources becomes
`
`wider, such that the system efficiency can be increased.
`
`[Table 2]

`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 19/53

`

`

`OPP-UT-2007—0050-US—PO
`
`
`
`The
`
`above—mentioned
`
`embodiment
`
`is
`
`provided
`
`by
`
`modification of
`
`the
`
`third principle.i The
`
`above-mentioned
`
`embodiment uses the neighboring cyclic shift adjacent
`
`to this
`
`single cyclic shift before using all kinds of available
`
`resources within a
`
`single
`
`cyclic
`
`shift,
`
`such
`
`that
`
`this
`
`embodiment may be considered to be specific.
`
`Provided that
`
`one ACK/NACK resources occupy one cyclic shift resource,
`
`the
`
`above—mentioned embodiment cannot use the neighboring cyclic
`
`shift values according to the third principle. Also,
`
`since
`
`unexpected orthogonal covers
`
`incapable of being located at
`
`the same cyclic shift value exist
`
`in the same cyclic shift
`
`value,
`
`the ACK/NACK resources are alternately allocated to
`
`the
`
`orthogonal
`
`covers.
`
`Inevitably,
`
`the
`
`above—mentioned
`
`embodiment
`
`is unable
`
`to use
`
`the neighboring cyclic shift
`
`value
`
`according to the
`
`third principle,
`
`such
`
`that
`
`this
`
`embodiment may be considered to be specific.

`Similar

`

`
`a
`

`
`the third principle according to the
`
`same principle as that of the second embodiment.

`
`
`
`If at
`
`least
`
`two uplink control channel
`
`formats are
`
`transmitted in the same resource block,
`
`these channel formats
`
`are discriminated by their cyclic shifts.
`
`In this case, one
`
`resource to which the ACK/NACK control
`
`information format is
`
`assigned must be distinguished from those of other control
`
`information formats by a predetermined size corresponding to
`
`at least one cyclic shift,
`
`such that there is no problem in a
`
`system throughput.
`
`Tables 4 and 5
`
`show embodiments, which
`
`are distinguished from resources
`
`to which another control
`
`information format will be assigned by the first embodiment.
`
`For
`
`example,
`
`the embodiment
`
`shown in Table 4 may
`
`further
`
`acquire
`
`a
`
`resource
`
`space
`
`for
`
`another
`
`format
`
`by
`
`a
`
`predetermined size corresponding to one cyclic shift without
`
`using one ACK/NACK resource.
`
`For more detailed example,
`
`a specific format
`
`(Format
`
`SR)
`
`from among uplink control
`
`information‘need not use no
`
`12
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1003 - 22/53
`
`

`

`OPP-UT—2007-0050-US-PO
`
`reference signals,
`
`and ACK/NACK data can be
`
`transferred to
`
`resources
`
`located on an unused orthogonal cover.
`
`In this
`
`case,
`
`this detailed example
`
`transmits
`
`information to the
`
`orthogonal cover using an orthogonal cover number having a
`
`low interference.
`
`Resources
`
`capable
`
`of
`
`being
`
`used
`
`as
`
`orthogonal covers unused by ACK/NACK resources are spaced
`
`apart
`
`from each other by a distance corresponding to at least
`
`one cyclic shift,
`
`such that there is no problem caused by the
`
`neighboring ACK/NACK resources closely adjacent
`
`to each other.
`
`In this case,
`
`the used format
`
`SR uses
`
`an exemplary cyclic
`
`shift value which uses only on orthogonal cover number
`
`in a
`
`specific cyclic shift generating a minimum of
`
`interference
`
`according to the second principle,
`
`such that
`
`the resource
`
`allocation is carried out using this cyclic shift value.
`
`In
`
`this
`
`case,
`
`according to the
`
`first principle,
`
`the
`
`above-
`
`mentioned embodiment performs
`
`resource
