`
`Dear Sir:
`
`In U.S. Patent Application 11/505,578, from which this Continuing U.S. Patent
`
`Application depends under 35 U.S.C. § 120, Applicant submitted remarks differentiating the
`
`invention over the combined disclosures of Andersson, et al. (U.S. 6,334,047) and Steer, et al.
`
`(U.S. 6,845,246), in that Applicant's invention does not require a computer in the wireless device
`
`(mobile station of Andersson) and that Applicant's invention can suggest corrective actions for
`
`the radio tower without the limitation of a grid pattern for location. Applicant rescinds any prior
`
`disclaimer or limitations that have been expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter of
`
`the instant Claims presented herein in all other patent applications and specifically in the
`
`prosecution of U.S. Patent Application 11/505,578, and respectfully requests that the Examiner
`
`reconsider the instant Claims in view of the rejections mentioned above, as well as all of the
`
`cited prior art.
`
`

`

`No fees should be incurred by this Amendment, but if there are any fees incurred by this
`
`Amendment, please deduct them from Deposit Account No. 50-3808.
`
`Respectfully Submitted,

`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`1
`
`TX1000-Cl2
`
`

`

`[0002] The present ·invention is directed generally to a system and method for providing
`
`navigation using mobile wireless devices, and more specifically to a mobile wireless device
`
`having both on-line and off-line navigation capabilities.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0003] Wireless networks 100 are becoming increasingly important worldwide. Wireless
`
`networks 100 are rapidly replacing conventional wire-based telecommunications systems in
`
`many applications. Cellular radio telephone networks ("CRT"), and specialized mobile radio and
`
`mobile data radio networks are examples. The general principles of wireless cellular telephony
`
`have been described variously, for example in U.S. Pat. No. 5,295, 180 to Vendetti, et al., which
`
`is incorporated herein by reference. There is great interest in using existing infrastructures of
`
`wireless networks 100 for locating people and/or objects in a cost effective manner. Such a
`
`capability would be invaluable in a variety of situations, especially in emergency or crime
`
`situations. Due to the substantial benefits of such a location system, several attempts have been
`
`made to design and implement such a system. Systems have been proposed that rely upon signal
`
`strength and triangulation techniques to permit location include those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.
`
`4,818,998 and 4,908,629 to Apsell et al. ("the Apsell patents") and U.S. Pat. No. 4,891,650 to
`
`Sheffer ("the Sheffer patent"). However, these systems have drawbacks that include high
`
`expense in that special purpose electronics are required.
`
`[0004] Furthermore, the systems are generally only effective in line-of-sight conditions, such as
`
`rural settings. Radio wave multipath, refractions and ground clutter cause significant problems in
`
`determining the location of a signal source in most geographical areas that are more than
`
`sparsely populated. Moreover, these drawbacks are particularly exacerbated in dense urban
`
`canyon (city) areas, where errors and/or conflicts in location measurements can result in
`
`substantial inaccuracies.
`
`[0005] Another example of a location system using time difference of arrival (TDOA) and
`
`triangulation for location are satellite-based systems, such as the military and commercial
`
`versions of the global positioning satellite system (GPS). GPS can provide accurate position
`
`from a time-based signal received simultaneously from at least three satellites. A ground-based
`2
`
`TX1000-Cl2
`
`

`

`GPS receiver at or near the object to be located determines the difference between the time at
`
`which each satellite transmits a time signal and the time at which the signal is received and,
`
`based on the time differentials, determines the object's location. However, the GPS is impractical
`
`in many applications. The signal power levels from the satellites are low and the GPS receiver
`
`requires a clear, line-of-sight path to at least three satellites above a horizon greater than about 60
`
`degrees for effective operation. Accordingly, inclement weather conditions, such as clouds_,
`
`terrain features, such as hills and trees, and buildings restrict the ability of the GPS receiver to
`
`determine its position. Furthermore, the initial GPS signal detection process for a GPS receiver
`
`can be relatively long (i.e., several minutes) for determining the receiver's position. Such delays
`
`are unacceptable in many applications such as, for example, emergency response and vehicle
`
`tracking. Additionally there exists no one place that this location information is stored such that a
`
`plurality of wireless devices 104 could be located on a geographic basis.

`

`Summary of Factors Affecting RF Propagation
`
`[0006] The physical radio propagation channel perturbs signal strength, causing rate changes,
`
`phase delay, low signal to noise ratios (e.g., ell for the analog case, or Eb/no, RF energy per bit,
`
`over average noise density ratio for the digital case) and doppler-shift. Signal strength is usually
`
`characterized by:
`
`- Free space path loss (Lp)
`
`- Slow fading loss or margin (Lstow)
`
`- Fast fading loss or margin (Lrast)
`
`[0007] Loss due to slow fading includes shadowing due to clutter blockage (sometimes included
`
`in 1.p). Fast fading is composed of multipath reflections which cause: 1) delay spread; 2) random
`
`phase shift or rayleigh fading, and 3) random frequency modulation due to different doppler
`
`shifts on different paths.
`
`Summing the path loss and the two fading margin loss components from the above yields a total
`
`path loss of:
`
`Ltotal =Lp ±Lstow +Lrast
`
`[0008] Referring to FIG. 3, the figure illustrates key components of a typical cellular and PCS
`
`power budget design process. The cell designer increases the transmitted power PTX by the
`
`shadow fading margin Lstow which is usually chosen to be within the 1-2 percentile of the slow
`
`fading probability density function (PDF) to minimize the probability of unsatisfactorily low
`
`received power level PRX at the receiver. The PRX level must have enough signal to noise energy
`
`level (e.g., 10 dB) to overcome the receiver's internal noise level (e.g., -118 dBm in the case of
`
`cellular 0.9 GHz), for a minimum voice quality standard. Thus in the example PRX must never be
`
`below -108 dBm, in order to maintain the quality standard. Additionally the short term fast signal
`
`fading due to multipath propagation is taken into account by deploying fast fading margin Lrast,
`
`which is typically also chosen to be a few percentiles of the fast fading distribution. The 1 to 2
`
`4
`
`TX1000-Cl2
`
`

`

`percentiles compliment other network blockage guidelines. For example the cell base station
`
`traffic loading capacity and network transport facilities are usually
`
`designed for a 1-2 percentile blockage factor as well. However, in the worst-case scenario both
`
`fading margins are simultaneously exceeded, thus causing a fading margin overload.
`
`Detailed Description Of The Prior Art
`
`[0009] Turning to FIG. 1 is a typical second-generation wireless network 100 architecture
`
`designed for a code division multiple access (CDMA) and is similar for a time division multiple
`
`access (TOMA) or others such as GSM. These are all digital systems that may or may not have
`
`the ability to operate in an analog mode. A general overview of the operation of this system will
`
`begin when the wireless device user 102 initiates a call with
