`
`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
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT—member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`page 1 of 3
`
`Huawei V. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 1/87
`
`

`

`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—91 99, or it
`can be viewed on the USPTO website at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/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).

`
`m T
`
`if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`he 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
`respect to certain countries, of other agencies, particularly the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of

`
`An uplink system based on a single carrier frequency
`
`division multiplexing access
`
`(SC—FDMA)
`
`technology generally
`
`transmits
`
`information using the following processes.
`
`The
`
`uplink
`
`system converts
`
`an
`
`information
`
`sequence
`
`to
`
`be
`
`transmitted into a serial—to-parallel sequence in such a way
`
`that
`
`a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) process
`
`is carried
`
`out.
`
`If the DFT is carried out,
`
`then an IFFT process is
`
`performed.
`
`In this case,
`
`the length of information inserted
`
`into the IFE‘T may be different
`
`from the IFFT size,

`

`result
`
`associated with
`
`successive
`
`IFFT input
`
`indexes
`
`is
`
`mapped, and then the mapped result is then transferred.
`
`The
`
`IFFT resultant values are converted into parallel—to—serial
`
`data.
`
`A cyclic prefix (CP)
`
`is added to the parallel-to—
`
`serial data,
`
`such that the CP-added result is converted into
`
`an OFDM symbol
`
`format,
`
`and this OFDM symbol
`
`is transmitted
`
`via a real space—time.
`
`FIG.

`
`The data
`
`information multiplexed with
`
`the
`
`control
`
`information is divided into several code blocks on the basis
`
`of
`
`the size of
`
`a
`
`transport block to be transmitted to the
`
`uplink, and these code blocks are encoded.
`
`The encoded code
`
`blocks are concatenated to construct one data information
`
`sequence,
`
`and this data information sequence is multiplexed
`
`with the control information.
`
`The control
`
`information capable of being transmitted
`
`along with data in the uplink is classified into two kinds of
`
`control
`
`information.
`
`This
`
`control
`
`information may
`
`be
`
`classified into an UL ACK/NACK signal used as a confirmation
`
`signal for uplink data and other control
`
`information.
`
`The UL
`
`ACK/NACK signal
`
`for downlink data is transmitted only when
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 13/87
`
`

`

`downlink data exists.
`
`A mobile
`
`station which does not
`
`recognize an obligation of receiving downlink data may don’t
`
`know this obligation although
`
`it must
`
`transmit
`
`the
`
`UL
`
`ACK/NACK signal,
`
`such that
`
`two kinds of control
`
`information
`
`is discriminated,
`
`and the discriminated control
`
`information
`
`is
`
`transmitted to
`
`the
`
`uplink.
`
`All
`
`kinds
`
`of
`
`control
`
`information described in the present
`
`invention is indicative
`
`of control
`
`information except for the UL ACK/NACK signal, and
`
`the
`
`UL ACK/NACK signal will hereinafter
`
`be described in
`
`detail.
`
`When data information is transmitted to the uplink,
`
`this data
`
`information may
`
`be
`
`transmitted along with the
`
`control
`
`information, or the data information and the control
`
`information
`
`can
`
`be
`
`transmitted
`
`along with
`
`ACK/NACK
`
`information.
`
`Otherwise, only the data information and the
`
`ACK/NACK information can be transmitted at the same time.
`
`Transmission
`
`information
`
`sequence
`
`is
`
`transferred
`
`according
`
`to the
`
`SC—FDMA
`
`scheme.
`
`In
`
`this
`
`case,
`
`this
`
`transmission information sequence may be constructed when the
`
`data information is multiplexed with the control
`
`information
`
`or
`
`the ACK/NACK information.
`
`In this case,
`
`transmission
`
`information sequences are arranged by a
`
`time—first mapping
`
`method,
`
`such that
`
`these transmission information sequences
`
`are transmitted according to the SC-FDMA scheme.
`
`For example,
`
`it is assumed that the transmission information sequences are
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 14/87
`
`

`

`transmitted using only one
`
`resource block (i.e.,
`
`12
`
`OFDM
`
`subcarriers),
`
`information
`
`is
`
`transmitted
`
`via -a
`
`single
`
`subframe,
`
`the
`
`single
`
`subframe
`
`is composed of
`
`14
`
`SC—FDMA
`
`symbols,
`
`and two SC—FDMA symbols are used as
`
`a
`
`reference
`
`signal acting as
`
`a pilot.
`
`In this case,
`
`the number of
`
`modulated symbols of information capable of being transmitted
`
`to the uplink is 144 (i.e.,
`
`12 x 12 = 144).
`
`144 information
`
`sequence symbols are transmitted via 12 virtual subcarriers
`
`and 12
`
`SC—FDMA symbols.
`
`These
`
`144
`
`sequence
`
`symbols
`
`are
`
`configured in the form of
`
`a
`
`(12x12) matrix,
`
`such that
`
`the
`
`(12x12) matrix
`
`is
`
`called
`
`a
`
`time—frequency
`
`mapper.
`
`Information sequences
`
`to be
`
`transmitted to the uplink are
`
`mapped in the direction of an SC—FDMA symbol axis one by one.
`
`The SC—FDMA symbol is divided into several sections in a time
`
`domain,
`
`such that this mapping method is called a time—first
`
`mapping method.
`
`Sequences are arranged in the direction of a
`
`time axis of
`
`the time—frequency mapper as
`
`shown in FIGS.
`
`4
`
`and 5. According to'a method for firstly arranging sequences
`
`on a
`
`time axis, after the time—frequency mapping occurs,
`
`a
`
`DFT process is performed on sequences arranged on a frequency
`
`axis,
`
`the DFT result
`
`is inserted into a desired frequency
`
`band,
`
`and the IFFT and the cyclic prefix (CP) are added to
`
`the inserted result,
`
`such that the SC—FDMA symbol is made and
`
`transferred.

`
`FIG.
`
`5
`
`shows
`
`an SC-FDMA subframe mapping method of
`
`transmission information sequences
`
`in case of
`
`an extended
`
`cyclic prefix (CP).
`
`Data and the control
`
`information can be simultaneously
`
`transmitted
`
`in
`
`the
`
`uplink.
`
`In
`
`this
`
`case,
`
`the
`
`data
`
`information and the control
`
`information are multiplexed by a
`
`rate multiplexing process.
`
`However, ACK/NACK information is
`
`constructed when either
`
`a
`
`symbol
`
`in which data
`
`and
`
`the
`
`control
`
`information are multiplexed or
`
`a bitstreanl of data
`
`information is punctured,
`
`such that
`
`the ACK/NACK information
`
`Huawei V. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 17/87
`
`

`

`is inserted.
`
`In this case,
`
`this puncturing process subtracts
`
`specific bit information from the bitstream,
`
`and inserts new
`
`bit
`
`information into the deducted result,
`
`such that
`
`the
`
`length of
`
`inserted resultant
`
`information is
`
`equal
`
`to the
`
`length of bitstreams of overall information.
`
`Generally, reliability of the control
`
`information must
`
`be higher than that of data.
`
`For
`
`this purpose,
`
`the control
`
`information must be multiplexed or
`
`inserted in the vicinity
`
`of
`
`a
`
`reference
`
`signal
`
`so
`
`as
`
`to
`
`implement
`
`the
`
`channel
`
`estimation performance effect,
`
`resulting in the improvement
`
`of a performance.
`
`2. Constructions and Operations of the Invention
`
`The present
`
`invention assigns different priorities to
`
`individual
`
`information segments when data
`
`information,
`
`a
`
`bitstream,
`
`a control—information bitstream,
`
`and eni ACK/NACK
`
`information sequence are multiplexed,
`
`in such a way that
`
`the
`
`individual
`
`information segments having different priorities
`
`are multiplexed.
`
`In this case, multiplexing methods
`
`and
`
`orders of 'the individual methods are decided according to
`
`some rules.
`
`Method 1-a-1
`
`This l—a—l method is based on a first principle which
`
`maximally arranges control
`
`information on a time axis, and a
`
`Huawei v.1 OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 18/87
`
`

`

`second
`
`principle
`
`which
`
`maximally
`
`arranges
`
`ACK/NACK
`
`information on
`
`the time axis,
`
`such that
`
`it provides
`
`the
`
`multipleXing method based on the first and second principles.
`
`The ACK/NACK information provides
`
`the multiplexing
`
`method without puncturing control information.

`
`According to the above—mentioned l—a—l method, control
`
`information
`
`and
`
`data
`
`information
`
`are
`
`sequentially
`
`concatenated simultaneously while being multiplexed,
`
`and the
`
`concatenated
`
`resultant
`
`information
`
`is mapped
`
`to SC—FDMA
`
`symbols according to the time—first mapping method,
`
`such that
`
`the mapped result is transmitted to the uplink.
`
`If ACK/NACK
`
`information must also be
`
`transmitted, modulated symbols of
`
`this ACK/NACK information assign equal distribution to data
`
`information,
`
`and
`
`the
`
`data
`
`information is
`
`punctured
`
`and
`
`inserted.
`
`In this case, according to this equal distribution,
`
`the modulated symbols are equally distributed to an overall
`
`10
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 20/87
`
`

`

`length of
`
`a data-information sequence,
`
`and the distributed
`
`result
`
`is punctured.
`
`The above—mentioned puncturing process
`
`removes
`
`the modulated symbols of
`
`the data information,
`
`and
`
`the modulated symbols are inserted into the removed locations.
`
`For
`
`example,
`
`provided that
`
`a
`
`total
`
`number of modulated
`
`symbols
`
`of
`
`the data-information sequence
`
`is
`
`100
`
`and~
`
`the
`
`number of modulated symbols of the ACK/NACK information is 8,
`
`the modulated symbols of
`
`the ACK/NACK information will be
`
`inserted by
`
`the puncturing of data—information modulated
`
`symbols at
`
`intervals of 12 modulated symbols.
`
`In this way,
`
`provided that
`
`the data-information sequences
`
`are
`
`equally
`
`punctured and this data information is composed of several
`
`code blocks,
`
`the ACK/NACK information is equally punctured
`
`from each code block,
`
`such that it prevents a performance of
`
`only a specific code block from being greatly deteriorated.
`
`More
`
`specifically,
`
`the ACK/NACK information may
`
`be
`
`compulsorily inserted by the puncturing of modulated symbols
`
`corresponding
`
`to
`
`the
`
`number
`
`of
`
`individual
`
`code
`
`blocks.
`
`Information sections as many as the modulated symbols in all
`
`the code blocks are punctured,
`
`such that the punctured result
`
`can always prevent
`
`the performance of a specific code block
`
`from being deteriorated.
`
`Method 1—a—2
`
`ll
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 21/87
`
`

`

`This l—a—Z method is based on a first principle which
`
`maximally arranges control
`
`information on a time axis, and a
`
`second
`
`principle
`
`which
`
`maximally
`
`arranges
`
`ACK/NACK
`
`information on
`
`the time axis,
`
`such that
`
`it provides
`
`the
`
`multiplexing method based on the first and second principles.
`
`The ACK/NACK information provides another multiplexing
`
`method.
`
`This multiplexing method does not maximally perform
`
`the puncturing of
`
`the control
`
`information, Vand
`
`can also
`
`puncture the control
`
`information if the number of bits of the
`
`control
`
`information is higher than the number of bits of data
`
`information.

`
`In
`
`this
`
`case,
`
`the
`
`punctured
`
`ACK/NACK
`
`information
`
`assigns the same modulated symbol interval to the information
`
`sequence where control
`
`information and data information are
`
`multiplexed,
`
`the
`
`puncturing process
`
`is
`
`executed
`
`on
`
`the
`
`resultant ACK/NACK information, and then the punctured result
`
`is inserted.

`
`Specifically,

`
`is equal
`
`to the number of SC-OFDM symbols via which data- or

`
`ACK/NACK modulated symbols can be transmitted to the same SC-

`
`such that

`
`ACK/NACK modulated
`
`symbol,

`
`that all

`
`According to the above—mentioned l—b method, control
`
`information
`
`and
`
`data

`are
`
`sequentially
`
`concatenated simultaneously while being multiplexed,

`
`is mapped
`
`to
`
`SC-FDMA
`
`symbols according to the time—first mapping method,
`
`such that
`
`the mapped result
`
`is transmitted to the uplink.
`
`If ACK/NACK
`
`information must
`
`also
`
`be
`
`transmitted,
`
`this
`
`l—b method
`
`14
`
`Huawei v. OPTIS Exhibit No. 1012 - 24/87

`

`punctures the modulated symbols

`

`
`performs

`
`In this case,
`
`in order to

`perform the insertion of the ACK/NACK signal,
`

`
`are occupied by

`

`
`As
