`Claim Construction: “Carrier Aggregation”
`
`Qualcomm
`
`Qualcomm argues that Intel’s construction renders claim language redundant
`
`′356 Patent
`1. An apparatus comprising:
`a first amplifier stage configured to be independently enabled or disabled, the
`first amplifier stage further configured to receive and amplify an input radio
`frequency (RF) signal and provide a first output RF signal to a first load
`circuit when the first amplifier stage is enabled,
`the input RF signal
`employing carrier aggregation [simultaneous operation on multiple
`carriers] comprising transmissions sent on multiple carriers at different
`frequencies to a wireless device, the first output RF signal including at least
`a first carrier of the multiple carriers;
`
`▪
`
`Intel’s construction includes the concept of “simultaneous operation”

`
`
`
`Claim Construction: “Carrier Aggregation”
`
`Qualcomm
`
`Qualcomm argues that its construction is supported by extrinsic evidence
`
`Phillips v. AWH Corp.
`
`However, while extrinsic evidence “can shed useful light on
`the relevant art,” we have explained that it is “less
`significant than the intrinsic record in determining ‘the
`legally operative meaning of claim language.’ ”
`
`In sum, extrinsic evidence may be useful to the court, but it
`is unlikely to result in a reliable interpretation of patent
`claim scope unless considered in the context of the
`intrinsic evidence.

`
`“[A] POSITA would have found it obvious to turn to the receiver front end
`of Uehara in order to process the carrier aggregated input RF signal of
`the Feasibility Study and would have been motivated to combine
`those references.”

`
`“The Feasibility Study recognizes that wireless mobile devices can be configured
`to operate with input RF signals employing carrier aggregation.”
`
`“The Feasibility Study further suggests that an ideal receiver for noncontiguous
`intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation would have multiple RF front-ends.”
`
`“The Feasibility Study characterizes an “RF front end” as having its own gain
`control (amplifier), mixer, and analog-to-digital conversion.”
`
`“Uehara teaches a wireless receiver using multiple signal paths for different
`carriers, in which each of the multiple signal paths includes its own amplifier, mixer,
`and analog-to-digital conversion.”
`
`“Uehara thus teaches the exact type of receiver that the Feasibility Study
`recognizes would work with signals employing carrier aggregation.”

`
`▪
`
`“A person of ordinary skill in the art would have found it obvious to use the
`input RF signal employing carrier aggregation of the Feasibility Study with the
`concurrent multiband receiver and amplifier of Jeon in view of Xiong.”
`
`▪
`
`▪
`
`▪
`
`▪
`
`▪
`
`“[T]he Feasibility Study recognizes that wireless mobile devices can be configured
`to operate with input RF signals employing carrier aggregation.”
`
`“[The Feasibility Study] also recognizes that an ideal receiver for carrier
`aggregation would have multiple RF front-ends to allow for processing of far-apart
`carriers to support inter-band carrier aggregation and noncontiguous intra-band
`carrier aggregation.”
`
`“‘RF front end’ refers to the components between the antenna and the baseband,
`including filters, amplifiers, and mixers.”
`
`“Jeon in view of Xiong teaches the use of such multiple front-ends because its
`wireless receiver uses multiple processing paths (each of which includes an
`amplifier and a mixer set) for different frequency bands.”
`
`“Therefore, the receiver in Jeon in view of Xiong has the ‘multiple front ends’ that
`the Feasibility Study recommends for carrier aggregation.”
