`
`A SEPARATE, DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE RELEVANCE
`AND MANNEROF APPLYING EACH ITEM OF INFORMATION TO
`EACH PATENT CLAIM FOR WHICH SUPPLEMENTAL
`EXAMINATION IS REQUESTED
`
`While none of the items of information cited here are believed to anticipate, render
`
`obviousor otherwise render unpatentable or invalid any claim of the ‘426 Patent, Supplemental
`
`Examination is requested to ensure that they are properly considered by the Office.

`1.
`
`TS 22.368
`
`TS 22.368 is a Technical Specification (TS) standards document produced by the
`
`European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) 3Generation Partnership Project
`
`(3GPP). TS 22.368 is provided herewith in excerpted form bythetitle page and excerpted
`
`pages 1-3 (Table of Contents and publication notices), 5, 9, 14, and 16.
`
`Asindicated byits title (see item 1, section II above), TS 22.368 specifies service
`
`requirements for machine-type communications (MTC)in telecommunications systems in which
`
`mobile communications and services are, or intended to be, implemented in compliance with
`
`TS 22.368 and/or other ETSI and/or 3GPP specifications. The documentidentifies and specifies
`
`general requirements for MTC; identifies service aspects where network improvements
`
`(compared to the current human-to-humanoriented services) are neededto cater for the specific
`
`nature of machine-type communications; and specifies MTC requirements for these service
`
`aspects where network improvements are needed for MTC. TS 22.368, Scope, page 5.
`
`Supplemental examination of claims 1-17 is requested based on the TS 22.368, especially
`
`with respect to the issue of whether a substantial new question of patentability is raised with
`
`respect to obviousness. TS 22.368 is applied to claims 1-17 of the ‘426 Patent as demonstrated
`
`in the claim chart below. In the claim chart, some citations may indicate that there are other
`
`possible instances of particular subject matter in TS 22.368 which (1) are not necessarily

`1. A methodfor controlling an attach state of a
`user equipment in an attach control node of a
`telecommunications system further comprising
`a subscriber database containing subscription
`data of the user equipment, the method
`comprising:
`receiving in a first transfer stage
`a first set of subscription data from the
`subscriber database andstoringthefirst
`set of subscription data in the attach
`control node,
`
`wherein the first set of subscription
`data is insufficient for enabling
`establishing a communication session
`between the user equipment and the
`telecommunications system,
`and wherein, if an authentication step is
`required, authentication data are
`received in the attach control node prior
`to the receiving in the first transfer
`stage;
`if establishing a communication session is
`required between the user equipment and
`the telecommunications network,
`
`receiving in a secondtransfer stage
`following thefirst transfer stage
`at least one secondset of subscription
`data from the subscriber database in the
`attach control node, and storing the
`secondset of subscription data in the
`attach control node,
