`
`These infringement contentions are prepared with public information and have not been prepared with the benefit of discovery. Plaintiffs
`reserve the right to amend these contentions, including adding and/or amending a doctrine of equivalents analysis for any claim element of
`any asserted claim, as discovery progresses. Plaintiffs further reserve the right to update, amend, or supplement these contentions and/or to
`add Accused Instrumentalities, standard, or chipset information, based on information received by Plaintiffs or otherwise produced by Apple,
`Qualcomm, Intel, or any other entity, in this litigation. Such information may include, but is not limited to, data sheets, design specifications,
`source code, testing information, reference designs, implementation and utilization information, and/or schematics. Plaintiffs’ citation of
`portions of the 3GPP LTE standard herein should not be interpreted to limit Plaintiffs’ infringement proof in expert reports or at
`trial in any way. Plaintiffs’ citation of portions of the 3GPP LTE standard herein provides detailed notice of Plaintiffs’ theory of
`infringement, but Plaintiffs intend to rely on additional evidence including, but not limited to, data sheets, design specifications, source code,
`testing information, reference designs, implementation and utilization information, and/or schematics as proof of infringement in expert
`reports and at trial. Reference should also be made to the cover pleading and Appendix A hereto.

`1 Scope
`The present document describes a general description of the physical layer of the E-UTRA radio interface. The present
`document also describes the document structure of the 3GPP physical layer specifications, i.e. TS 36.200 series. The TS
`36.200 series specifies the Uu point for the 3G LTE mobile system, and defines the minimum level of specifications
`required for basic connections in terms of mutual connectivity and compatibility.

`
`For example, and without limitation, because each of the Accused Instrumentalities is compliant
`with or is configured and designed to comply with and/or support the LTE Standard, they
`necessarily include a receiving unit configured to receive control information.
`
`As further example and without limitation, the LTE Standard requires that a receiving unit be
`configured to receive control information:

`5.1 Random Access procedure
`5.1.1 Random Access Procedure initialization
`The Random Access procedure described in this subclause is initiated by a PDCCH order or by the MAC sublayer
`itself. If a UE receives a PDCCH transmission consistent with a PDCCH order [5] masked with its C-RNTI, it shall
`initiate a Random Access procedure. The PDCCH order or RRC optionally indicate ra-PreambleIndex and ra-PRACH-
`MaskIndex.
`
`Before the procedure can be initiated, the following information is assumed to be available [8]:
`
`-
`
`-
`
`the available set of PRACH resources for the transmission of the Random Access Preamble, prach-ConfigIndex.
`
`the groups of Random Access Preambles and the set of available Random Access Preambles in each group:
`
` The preambles that are contained in Random Access Preambles group A and Random Access Preambles group B
`are calculated from the parameters numberOfRA-Preambles and sizeOfRA-PreamblesGroupA:
`
`
`
`If sizeOfRA-PreamblesGroupA is equal to numberOfRA-Preambles then there is no Random Access Preambles
`group B. The preambles in Random Access Preamble group A are the preambles 0 to sizeOfRA-
`PreamblesGroupA – 1 and, if it exists, the preambles in Random Access Preamble group B are the preambles
`sizeOfRA-PreamblesGroupA to numberOfRA-Preambles – 1 from the set of 64 preambles as defined in [7].

`
`For further example, in the Accused Instrumentalities, the amounts of data or reception qualities

`different message 3 size associated with it than the other groups, e.g., group B.
`
`As further example and without limitation, the LTE Standard requires a plurality of groups, into
`which a predetermined number of sequences that are generated from a plurality of base sequences
`are grouped and which are respectively associated with different amounts of data or reception
`qualities, wherein the predetermined number of sequences are grouped by partitioning the
`predetermined number of sequences, in which sequences generated from the same base sequence

`or several root Zadoff-Chu sequences. The network configures the set of preamble sequences the UE is allowed to use.
`
`There are 64 preambles available in each cell. The set of 64 preamble sequences in a cell is found by including first, in
`the order of increasing cyclic shift, all the available cyclic shifts of a root Zadoff-Chu sequence with the logical index
`RACH_ROOT_SEQUENCE, where RACH_ROOT_SEQUENCE is broadcasted as part of the System Information.
`Additional preamble sequences, in case 64 preambles cannot be generated from a single root Zadoff-Chu sequence, are
`obtained from the root sequences with the consecutive logical indexes until all the 64 sequences are found. The logical
`root sequence order is cyclic: the logical index 0 is consecutive to 837. The relation between a logical root sequence
`index and physical root sequence index u is given by Tables 5.7.2-4 and 5.7.2-5 for preamble formats 0 – 3 and 4,
`respectively.

`
`
`ACCUSED INSTRUMENTALITIES
`
`In the Accused Instrumentalities, base Zadoff Chu sequences are cyclically shifted by a set amount
`to derive additional sequences defined by cyclic shift values, the resulting sequences are then
`arranged in increasing order and joined with the other base sequences and their respective
`sequences defined by cyclic shift values. The base code sequences in U.S. Patent No. 8,411,557 are
`used to derive multiple sequences based on cyclic shifts, which are arranged in a structure such as
`shown in figures 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9, in increasing order, the same way as the accused instrumentalities.
`The sequences are partitioned into groups, such that at least one group contains all of the sequences
`derived from at least one base sequence, in the structures shown, e.g, at U.S. Patent No. 8,411,557
`Figure 9 and the accompanying text.
`
`To the extent that Apple claims that these elements are not met literally, the Accused
`Instrumentalities perform substantially the same function of associating reception qualities or
`amounts of data with groups comprised of sequences associated with cyclic shift values, in
`substantially the same way, by associating each group of sequences with differing reception
`qualities or amounts of data, to achieve substantially the same result, which is that the sequences in
`each group are associated with reception qualities or amounts of data, so that when a sequence is
`randomly selected from a group, it is known to be associated with certain reception qualities or
`amounts of data by virtue of which group it was selected from.
`
`PanOptis reserves the right to add additional information and infringement theories once discovery
`begins in this case, particularly once Apple produces its technical documents (including, but not
`limited to, source code).
`The Accused Instrumentalities include a transmitting unit configured to transmit the selected
`sequence.
`
`For example, and without limitation, because each of the Accused Instrumentalities is compliant
`with or is configured and designed to comply with and/or support the LTE Standard, they
`necessarily include a transmitting unit configured to transmit the selected sequence.

`DELTA_PREAMBLE + (PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER – 1) * powerRampingStep;
`
`-

`instruct the physical layer to transmit a preamble using the selected PRACH, corresponding RA-RNTI, preamble
`index and PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER.

`
`The four steps of the contention based random access procedures are:
`
`1) Random Access Preamble on RACH in uplink:
`
`- There are two possible groups defined and one is optional. If both groups are configured the size of message
`3 and the pathloss are used to determine which group a preamble is selected from. The group to which a
`preamble belongs provides an indication of the size of the message 3 and the radio conditions at the UE. The
`preamble group information along with the necessary thresholds are broadcast on system information.

`6.1 Physical non-synchronized random access procedure
`From the physical layer perspective, the L1 random access procedure encompasses the transmission of random access
`preamble and random access response. The remaining messages are scheduled for transmission by the higher layer on
`the shared data channel and are not considered part of the L1 random access procedure. A random access channel

`
`Claim
`No.
`
`Claim 1
`
`ACCUSED INSTRUMENTALITIES
`
`occupies 6 resource blocks in a subframe or set of consecutive subframes reserved for random access preamble
`transmissions. The eNodeB is not prohibited from scheduling data in the resource blocks reserved for random access
`channel preamble transmission.
`
`The following steps are required for the L1 random access procedure:
`
`1. Layer 1 procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers.
`
`2. A preamble index, a target preamble received power (PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER), a
`corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource are indicated by higher layers as part of the request.
`
`3. A preamble transmission power PPRACH is determined as
`PPRACH = min{ CMAXP
`, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER + PL}_[dBm], where CMAXP
` is the
`configured UE transmitted power defined in [6] and PL is the downlink pathloss estimate calculated in the UE.
`
`4. A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index.
`
`5. A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with transmission power PPRACH on the
`indicated PRACH resource.
`
`6. Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers
`(see [8], clause 5.1.4). If detected, the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers. The
`higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit UL-SCH grant to the physical layer, which is
`processed according to section 6.2.

`5.8 Modulation and upconversion
`Modulation and upconversion to the carrier frequency of the complex-valued SC-FDMA baseband signal for each
`antenna port is shown in Figure 5.8-1. The filtering required prior to transmission is defined by the requirements in [6].
