`
` DIRECT EXAMINATION
`
` BY MR. NOROOZI:
`
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Wells. Where
`
` are you located?
`
` A. Good morning. I'm located in
`
` Scottsdale, Arizona.
`
` Q. And you have some exhibits with
`
` you for this deposition?
`
` A. I mean, I'm at my computer. I can
`
` pull up exhibits.
`
` Q. Understood.
`
` Do you have anything printed out

` A. No, I don't.
`
` Q. So if you need to look at
`
` something, you will pull it up on your
`
` computer?
`
` A. Yes, I can do that.
`
` Q. Do you have any chats open right
`
` now?
`
` A. No, I don't. Nothing.
`
` Q. You understand that you're not
`
` allowed to chat with your counsel about the
`
` substance of this deposition while the
`
` deposition is ongoing?
`
` A. That is my understanding, yes.
`
` Q. How did you prepare, sir?
`
` A. For this deposition?
`
` Q. Yes, sir.
`
` A. I read through my declaration. I
`
` read through the patent, the '027 Patent. I
`
` read through the prior art that I assert
`
` against the patent. I also had a meeting --
`
` a conference call with counsel for Apple to
`
` discuss various aspects of this deposition.
`
` Q. And how long did you spend
`
` preparing?

`

`
` Q. Were you familiar with any of the
`
` patents or art at issue in this proceeding
`
` before you were engaged?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And are you answering that in the
`
` context of being familiar with specific
`
` references or with just the sort of -- the
`
` technical area as a whole?
`
` A. Both.
`
` Q. So which references were you
`
` familiar with before you were engaged?
`
` A. All of the references.
`
` Q. Is that because you were
`
` previously engaged by Samsung with respect to
`
` a similar IPR?
`
` A. That's what I was thinking, yes.
`
` Q. And before you were engaged by
`
` Samsung, were you familiar with any of the
`
` references in this proceeding?
`
` A. I'm not entirely sure, but
`
` probably not.
`
` Q. Sir, do you have the '027 Patent?
`
` A. I do have it.

`
` And if you could go to Claim 1 of
`
` the '027 Patent, please, and please let me
`
` know when you're there.
`
` A. Yes, I'm there.
`
` Q. Do you see that the patent begins
`
` by reciting a method for requesting system
`
` information?
`
` A. Yes, I do.
`
` Q. What is your understanding of the
`
` meaning of system information?
`
` A. So I also have a copy of my
`
` declaration here. I talk about my
`
` understanding of system information in the
`
` overview of the technology section where I
`
` talk about system information.
`
` Q. Would you be able to point me to a
`
` paragraph, sir?
`
` A. Yes. Paragraphs 31 to 32 are an
`
` introduction to system information and system
`
` information blocks.
`
` Q. So what is your understanding of
`
` system information?

`

`
` A. I would say, generally speaking,
`
` system information is -- it's information
`
` about a system and how a system operates.
`
` Q. Is that your understanding of
`
` system information in the context of the
`
` technology of the '027 Patent?
`
` A. Yes, it is.
`
` Q. So it's your understanding that,
`
` for purposes of the '027 Patent, system
`
` information can be any information about a
`
` system and how it operates?
`
` A. Well, system information generally
`
` is any information about a system. The '027
`
` Patent is a little more specific in that it's
`
` about system information that's transmitted
`
` in MIBs, M-I-B, and SIB, S-I-B.
`
` Q. Right.
`
` But in terms of what the system
`
` information can constitute, is it your
`
` understanding, for purposes of the '027
`
` Patent, that the system information can be
`
` any information about a system?
`
` A. Yes, I think it can be.
`
` Q. Is system information always
`
` organized into blocks?

`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. I think it depends what you mean
`
` by blocks because system information is known
`
` to be organized into what's called SIBs,
`
` S-I-B, plural SIBs, which is a system
`
` information block. It can also be organized
`
` into a MIB, a master information block.
`
` Those are examples of system information that
`
` are organized into blocks.
`
` BY MR. NOROOZI:
`
` Q. My question is, is it possible and
`
` known in the art to have system information
`
` that is not organized into blocks?
`
` A. I mean, that's not something I've
`
` analyzed. It may well be.
`
` Q. Does system information in this
`
` field of art necessarily have to be organized
`
` into blocks?
`
` A. I can't answer that question. I
`
` don't know.
`
` Q. Can system information be grouped
`
` in this field of art in some way other than
`
` by creating system information blocks?
`
` A. I think that's sort of the same
`
` question. I mean, it may be. I don't know.

`
` I've just studied what's disclosed in the
`
` '027 Patent and the prior art that I've cited
`
` to.
`
` Q. So you don't know whether a group
`
` of system information is necessarily system
`
` information blocks?
`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. So, as I said, the '027 Patent is
`
` about system information blocks and master
`
` information blocks and how system information
`
` is used in MIBs and SIBs. That's what I've
`
` analyzed.
`
` There may be other ways in which
`
` system information has been organized
`
` somewhere else, but I haven't analyzed that.
`
` I just analyzed what's in the patent, the
`
` '027 Patent.
`
` BY MR. NOROOZI:
`
` Q. Do you know whether in this field
`
` of art it's possible to group system
`
` information without creating system
`
` information blocks?
`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. Again, I think you're asking me
`
` the same question again. I've only focused

`

`
` context of everything in the wireless
`
` communication field.
`
` BY MR. NOROOZI:
`
` Q. Within the context of the '027
`
` Patent and the prior art that you analyzed,
`
` do you know whether it's possible to group
`
` system information without creating system
`
` information blocks?
`
` A. Yes, it is because you can have
`
` master information blocks as well.
`
` Q. With the -- withdrawn.
`
` Setting aside master information
`
` blocks and focusing on the prior art that you
`
` analyzed, do you know whether it's possible
`
` to group system information without creating
`
` system information blocks?
`
` A. I would have to go back and reread
`
` that prior art. I don't know sitting here.
`
` I just focused on the claims of the '027
`
` Patent and how that's disclosed in the prior
`
` art.
`
` Q. Do you understand that Claim 1 of

`

`
`25
`
` the '027 Patent requires organizing system
`
` information at two levels, first into blocks,
`
` then into block groups?
`
` A. Well, I don't see that language in
`
` Claim 1. That might be a general way of
`
` describing it, but Claim 1, I look at the
`
` words of the patent. It doesn't say those
`
` words in the patent in Claim 1.
`
` Q. Do you agree that system
`
` information -- withdrawn.
`
` Do you agree that Claim 1 recites
`
` one or more system information blocks?
`
` A. Yes, it does.
`
` Q. Do you agree that Claim 1 further
`
` recites that one or more system information
`
` blocks comprise a system information block
`
` group?
`
` A. Well, I mean, it doesn't say --
`
` the claims don't explicitly say that. It
`
` says that one or more system information
`
` blocks are grouped.
`
` Q. What is your understanding of what
`
` Claim 1 requires with respect to a system
`
` information block group in terms of what can
`
` constitute a system information block group?

`

`
` A. Well, the first limitation has a
`
` wherein clause, and that wherein clause says
`
` wherein the one or more system -- beg your
`
` pardon, let me start again. Wherein the one
`
` or more system information blocks are grouped
`
` according to a feature, et cetera.
`
` So it's saying that there's a
`
` group of system information blocks that can
`
` be one or more system information blocks.
`
` Q. I just want to know if there's any
`
` disagreement on this point.
`
` Do you agree, sir, that the '027
`
` Patent Claim 1 requires system information
`
` that is organized into blocks, which blocks
`
` are organized into at least one group?
`
` A. I think that's generally fair. It
`
` doesn't require that two-step -- doesn't
`
` explicitly require that two-step process that
`
` you just said, but there's certainly system
`
` information in a block, and one or more
`
` blocks form a group.
`
` Q. Do you see that the claim recites
`
` a preamble?
`
` A. I do.

`
` of the '027 Patent claims?
`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. I don't understand your question.
`
` Are you asking me in terms of patent law what
`
` a preamble is, or are you asking me what the
`
` preamble recites in Claim 1?
`
` BY MR. NOROOZI:
`
` Q. I think we have some confusion.
`
` You see that -- withdrawn.
`
` You see that Claim 1 of the '027
`
` Patent recites the term "a preamble"?
`
` A. Oh, I see. Yeah, I'm sorry. I
`
` beg your pardon.
`
` So when you're talking about
`
` preamble, you're talking about a preamble as
`
` it exists in electronics, not a preamble as
`
` it exists in patent law. I was confused with
`
` your questions. I'm sorry. Can you ask the
`
` question one more time, please?
`
` Q. Sure. Do you see that Claim 1 of
`
` the '027 Patent recites the words "using a
`
` preamble"?
`
` A. Yes, I do.
`
` Q. What is your understanding of what
`
` a preamble is as that term is recited in the

`
` '027 Patent claims?
`
` A. So I think a preamble is a
`
` mental -- I've talked about this in my
`
` declaration, Paragraph 34. A preamble is a
`
` message sent by a UE to a base station, the
`
` content and characteristics of which are
`
` known in advance.
`
` Q. Known in advance by whom, so to
`
` speak?
`
` A. I think, generally speaking, a
`
` preamble is known in advance by the sender
`
` and the receiver so that it can be used to
`
` indicate something.
`
` Q. So are you saying that both the UE
`
` and the base station know the content and
`
` characteristics of the preamble in advance?
`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. I'm saying that, generally
`
` speaking, the purpose of a preamble is to
`
` indicate something, both the transmitter and
`
` the receiver, the UE and a base station, in a
`
` cellular system would know that -- the
`
` characteristics in advance.

`
` time are you referencing?
`
` A. Well, I mean, generally speaking,
`
` it's -- it would be in advance of the
`
` receiver decoding the information. It has to
`
` be able to extract something meaningful from
`
` the preamble, so it would know at least
`
` before it was decoded.
`
` Q. By receiver, do you mean the UE or
`
` the base station?
`
` A. Whoever is receiving -- I mean,
`
` I'm talking generally here a preamble. It's
`
` transmitted by either a UE or a base station,
`
` and it's received by either a UE or a base
`
` station.
`
` Q. So are you saying that in the
`
` context of the '027 Patent, a preamble is
`
` something for which the UE knows the content
`
` and characteristics before it has received
`
` any such preamble from the base station?
`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. No, that's not what I'm saying. I
`
` was talking -- you were asking me what a
`
` preamble was, and I was answering generally
`
` what a preamble was. I wasn't answering in
`
` the context of the '027 Patent claim

`
` specifically.
`
` BY MR. NOROOZI:
`
` Q. Right.
`
` And, to be clear, my question was
`
` specifically about the '027 Patent claims.
`
` So are you with me on that point
`
` now?
`
` A. Yes. Okay.
`
` Q. So in the context of the '027
`
` Patent claims, what is your understanding of
`
` the meaning of a preamble as recited in those
`
` claims?
`
` A. So, as recited in the claims of
`
` the '027 Patent, a preamble is a message sent
`
` by the UE to a base station to indicate
`
` something.
`
` Q. Is there any more to it than what
`
` you just described, or do you think that's
`
` the full extent of the meaning of preamble in
`
` the context of the '027 Patent claims?
`
` A. Well, I'm looking at Claim 1, and
`
` it just requires a preamble to be transmitted
`
` to indicate something. There's no other
`
` requirement placed on preamble.
`
` Q. So is it your opinion that any

`
` kind of message can be a preamble as recited
`
` in the '027 Patent claims?
`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. No, I don't think any kind of
`
` message can be.
`
` BY MR. NOROOZI:
`
` Q. So can you specify what you think
`
` can and cannot be a preamble in the context
`
` of the '027 Patent claims?
`
` A. Well, I think a preamble has a
`
` meaning to a person of skill. It's -- and,
`
` like I explained, generally speaking, a
`
` preamble is a message that's sent in advance
`
` to indicate something.
`
` So a preamble has a meaning to a
`
` person of skill. And then the claim uses a
`
` preamble to be transmitted for indicating, in
`
` the case of Claim 1, at least one system
`
` information block group.
`
` Q. In the Agiwal reference, you opine
`
` that Agiwal disposes a preamble as recited in
`
` the '027 Patent claims, right?
`
` A. Yes, I do.
`
` Q. What does Agiwal's preamble
`
` consist of?

`
` A. Agiwal certainly discloses that it
`
` transmits a preamble -- the UE transmits a
`
` preamble. I'm not sure whether Agiwal
`
` discloses what that preamble consists of. I
`
` would need to read through Agiwal to see if
`
` that's disclosed.
`
` Q. Do you have any opinion or
`
` understanding of what information Agiwal's
`
` preamble contains?
`
` A. Can you ask the question one more
`
` time, please?
`
` Q. Do you have any opinion or
`
` understanding of what information Agiwal's
`
` preamble contains?
`
` A. I mean, I'm struggling to answer
`
` that because what it contains -- do you mean
`
` what information is actually embedded inside
`
` the preamble message or what it's used to
`
` indicate?
`
` Q. What information is actually
`
` embedded inside Agiwal's preamble message?
`
` A. I haven't looked at Agiwal to
`
` understand that. I've just -- Agiwal
`
` discloses that it sends a preamble. That's
`
` what's required by the claims of the '027

`
` Q. With respect to the Deenoo
`
` reference, what information is embedded in
`
` the alleged preamble that you opine Deenoo
`
` teaches?
`
` A. Again, I would have to look at
`
` Deenoo to understand that. I've just
`
` analyzed Deenoo in the context of the '027
`
` Patent claims, which require the transmission
`
` of a preamble.
`
` Q. So, prior to today, you didn't
`
` analyze what information is actually
`
` contained in Deenoo's preamble?
`
` A. I haven't done that. I didn't
`
` need to do that to show that Deenoo renders
`
` obvious the claims of the '027 Patent.
`
` Q. How does Agiwal obtain the
`
` preamble that it will use in a given
`
` instance?
`
` MR. HART: Objection. Form.
`
` A. How do you mean "obtain"? I can't
`
` understand your question.

`
` preamble to the base station, fair?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Where does Agiwal's UE get the
`
` preamble that it sends to the base station?
`
` A. I haven't analyzed that. It's not
`
` something that I needed to analyze to form my
`
` opinion, my opinions.
`
` Q. Do you know whether Agiwal's UE
`
` creates the preamble or asked for a specific
`
` preamble or just asked for a preamble in
`
` general or it's provided the preamble without
`
` asking from the base station?
`
` Do you know as between those
`
` choices whether any of those are true?
`
` A. Off the top of my head, I don't
`
` know. I would have to read Agiwal to
`
` determine that.
`
` Q. Did you ever do that?
`
` A. Did I ever read Agiwal? Yes. Did
`
` I ever read Agiwal to determine explicitly
`
` what you just said? No, of course not.
`
` That's not something that's required by the
`
` '027 Patent claims.

` Q. With respect to Deenoo, how does
`
` Deenoo's UE obtain the preamble that it sends
