`
`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a U.S. 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
`simplifies
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process
`the filing
`
`but does not result in a grant of "an international
`
`
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries,
`page 1 of 3
`
`IPR2022-00462
`Apple EX1006 Page 1
`
`

`

`
`
`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 US PTO must
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a U.S. 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 applicant's 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 800-786-9199, 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 U.S. 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 U.S. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HAL T (1-866-999-4158).

`LICENSE FOR FOREIGN FILING UNDER
`
`Title 35, United States Code, Section 184
`
`
`
`Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, 5.11 & 5.15
`
`GRANTED
`
`The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`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
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`State (with respect to Arms, Munitions and Implements of War (22 CFR 121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`from the filing date of this application and the licensee has not received any indication of a secrecy order under 35
`
`

`
`FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0001] The present disclosure relates to wireless telecommunications systems and
`
`
`
`more particularly to user equipment signaling and base station or Evolved Universal
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) node B (eNB) signaling in wireless
`
`
`
`
`
`telecommunications systems.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`
`
`"UE") might in some (alternatively [0002] As used herein, the term "user equipment"
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`cases refer to mobile devices such as mobile telephones, personal digital assistants,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`handheld or laptop computers, and similar devices that have telecommunications
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`capabilities. Such a UE might include a device and its associated removable memory
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`module, such as but not limited to a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) that includes
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) application, a Universal Subscriber Identity Module
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(USIM) application, or a Removable User Identity Module (R-UIM) application.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In other
`Alternatively, such a UE might include the device itself without such a module.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`cases, the term "UE" might refer to devices that have similar capabilities but that are not
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`transportable, such as desktop computers, set-top boxes, or network appliances. The term
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`"UE" can also refer to any hardware or software component that can terminate a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`communication session for a user. Also, the terms "user equipment," "UE," "user agent,"
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`"UA," "user device," and "mobile device" might be used synonymously herein.

`
`
`
`
`
`improvements of the equivalent equipment in a traditional wireless telecommunications
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`system. Such advanced or next generation equipment may be included in evolving
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`wireless communications standards, such as long-term evolution (L TE). For example, an
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`L TE system might include an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E­
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`UTRAN) node B (eNB), a wireless access point, or a similar component rather than a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`traditional base station. Any such component will be referred to herein as an eNB, but it
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`should be understood that such a component is not necessarily an eNB. Such a
`
`
`
`
`
`component may also be referred to herein as an access node.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(3GPP) Partnership Project [0004] L TE may be said to correspond to Third Generation
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Release 8 (Rel-8 or R8) and Release 9 (Rel-9 or R9), and possibly also to releases beyond
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Release 9, while L TE Advanced (L TE-A) may be said to correspond to Release 10 (Rel-10
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`or R10) and possibly also to Release 11 (Rel-11 or R11) and other releases beyond
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Release 10. As used herein, the terms "legacy", "legacy UE", and the like might refer to
`
`
`
`signals, UEs, and/or other entities that comply with L TE Release 10 and/or earlier releases
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`but do not fully comply with releases later than Release 10. The terms "advanced",
`
`
`
`
`
`"advanced UE", and the like might refer to signals, UEs, and/or other entities that comply
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`with L TE Release 11 and/or later releases. While the discussion herein deals with L TE
`
`
`
`
`
`systems, the concepts are equally applicable to other wireless systems as well.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`implementations, drawings, and techniques illustrated below, including the exemplary
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`designs and implementations illustrated and described herein, but may be modified within
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`described herein in the context of an L TE wireless network or system, but can be adapted
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`for other wireless networks or systems.
`
`
`
`reduced via an eNB. During periods of [0010] A UE may connect to a network
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`communications activity, the UE may send a Power Preference Indication (PPI) message
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`to the network to request that the U E be reconfigured to transition from a normal
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`configuration to a power optimized configuration. The network may send, via the eNB, a
`
`
`
`configuration and/or a reconfiguration message to the UE in either the Medium Access
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Control (MAC) layer or the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer. The UE may accept the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`message and change local settings based on the information in the message. However,

`

`
`

`4214-39000
`
`
`
`
`
`the UE may be unaware if the message from the eNB was sent in response to the PPI
`
`
`
`request or was sent during the normal course of network operations. Thus, the UE may be
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`unable to determine if the UE's current settings should be considered as a normal
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`configuration or a power optimized configuration. The UE's lack of knowledge may require
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the UE to send additional PPI requests resulting in unnecessary power loss and network
`
`traffic.
`
`
`
`the current to determine [0011] Disclosed herein is a system, method, and/or apparatus
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a message to the the eNB may transmit power configuration state of a UE. In an aspect,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`UE, where the message comprises a Normal/Power-Optimized (N/P) indicator to the UE.
`
`
`
`
`
`In an alternative aspect, the UE may assume an implicit grant of the PPI request and may
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`move to a power-optimized configuration unless the PPI request is disallowed within a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`given timeframe. In either aspect, once the UE is aware of its current state (e.g. normal
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`configuration or power-optimized configuration), the UE may use the state information to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In an aspect, a UE in power­
`determine an appropriate set of response behaviors.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`optimized configuration may employ inhibiVprohibit mechanisms (e.g. configure prohibit
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`counters, timers, or other parameters) to prevent the UE from sending additional PPI
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`requests to the eNB for a predetermined amount of time. In another aspect, a UE in
`
`
`
`
`
`power-optimized configuration may send a second PPI message to the eNB, which may be
`
`
`
`
`
`interpreted as a request to enter an idle configuration.
`
`
`
`In another aspect, a UE tha
