`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I, James L. Lansford, do hereby declare the following:
`I submit this Declaration at the request of Intel Corporation for
`1.
`
`consideration by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in inter partes review
`
`proceedings.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I reside in Florissant, Colorado.
`
`I am over eighteen years of age, and I would otherwise be
`
`competent to testify as to the matters set forth herein if I am called upon to do
`
`so.
`
`4.
`
`I am being compensated for my time at my standard consulting
`
`rate. I am also being reimbursed for expenses that I incur during the course of
`
`this work. My compensation is not contingent upon the results of my study and
`
`analysis, the substance of my testimony, or the outcome of any proceeding
`
`involving the challenged patent or patents. I have no financial interest in the
`
`outcome of this matter or in any litigation involving the challenged patent or
`
`patents.
`
`5.
`
`I have held numerous leadership positions in IEEE 802 over the
`
`last 25 years, including:
`
`A. Founding Chair, IEEE 802.19 Coexistence Working Group.
`
`In this role, I was a member of the Sponsor Executive
`
`Committee (SEC), the leadership team for all of IEEE 802
`
`(including 802.11, 802.3, and 802.15, among others).
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`B. Vice-chair, IEEE 802.15.2 Wi-Fi Bluetooth Coexistence
`
`Technical Group.
`
`C. Chair, IEEE 802.11 DSRC Coexistence Tiger Team.
`
`D. Chair, IEEE 802.11 Wireless Next Generation Standing
`
`Committee.
`
`6.
`
`I was employed as Chief Technical Officer and Vice President of
`
`Business Development by Mobilian Corporation in Hillsboro, Oregon from
`
`February 2000 to November 2003. During my tenure at Mobilian, I was
`
`responsible for, among other things, strategy and tactics with respect to
`
`standard-setting bodies, including the IEEE, the Bluetooth special interest
`
`group, the European Telecommunication Standards Institute’s Broadband Radio
`
`Access Network group (ETSI/BRAN), the Software Defined Radio forum, and
`
`the Wi-Fi Alliance (formerly known as WECA). While I was at Mobilian, I
`
`regularly attended meetings of the IEEE 802.11 and 802.15 Working Groups
`
`and was an active contributor, having posted and presented several documents
`
`to both the 802.11 and 802.15 Working Groups. I regularly accessed and
`
`reviewed documents that were submitted by members of both the 802.11 and
`
`802.15 working groups, including through the IEEE’s 802wirelessworld website
`
`discussed below. In addition, during this period, I was the founding Chair of the
`
`IEEE 802.19 Coexistence Working Group, which gave me automatic
`
`membership in the IEEE 802 Sponsor Executive Committee (SEC), the group
`
`that oversees all working group activities in IEEE 802. During this period, the
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.18, and 802.19 Working Groups collaborated closely,
`
`including by holding meetings on the same dates and in the same venue, where
`
`attendees of any Working Group could and often did attend meetings of other
`
`Working Groups, by sharing the 802wirelessworld document server and website
`
`discussed below, and by awarding cross credit across Working Groups, for
`
`attending sessions of any of the Working Groups, for purposes of gaining or
`
`maintaining voting privileges.
`
`7.
`
`I was employed as Chief Technology Officer of Alereon, Inc. in
`
`Austin, Texas from November 2003 to February 2010. During my tenure at
`
`Alereon, I was responsible for, among other things, defining and executing on
`
`the company’s standards and regulatory strategy. During that time, I was also
`
`the co-chair of the IEEE 802.15.3a Task Group, chair of the WiMedia Technical
`
`Steering Committee, co-chair of the WiMedia 60GHz Study Group, chair of the
`
`WiMedia Mobile Applications Study Group, Vice-Chair of the WiMedia Video
`
`Study Group, and a member of various other related boards and working
`
`groups. During this period, the meetings of the 802.11 and 802.15 Working
`
`Groups continued to be held at the same times and places, the 802.11 and
`
`802.15 Working Groups continued sharing document servers and websites
`
`(including initially the 802wirelessworld server and website and later the
`
`Mentor server and website discussed below), and the Working Groups
`
`continued allowing cross credit for attendance. The IEEE 802.11 and 802.15
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`Working Groups were also formally coordinated via a liaison.1 Because of my
`
`role as an 802.15 co-chair, I attended every such meeting from 2004 through
`
`early 2006. During my tenure at Alereon and as co-chair of the IEEE 802.15.3a
`
`Task Group, I also continued to regularly submit documents and to access and
`
`review documents that were submitted by other members of the 802.11 and
`
`802.15 working groups, including through the IEEE’s 802wirelessworld server
`
`and through the IEEE’s successor (and current) server called Mentor.
`
`8.
`
`I was employed by CSR, plc from February 2010 to September
`
`2015. After Qualcomm acquired CSR in September 2015, I continued working
`
`for Qualcomm through May of 2023. While I was at CSR, among other work, I
`
`was the head of CSR’s Wi-Fi Alliance and IEEE 802.11 Standards teams.
`
`During that period, I was Chair of the 802.11 Wireless Next Generation
`
`Standing Committee, in addition to being an active participant, contributor, and
`
`voting member of the IEEE 802.11 Working Group. After transitioning to
`
`Qualcomm, I became a director of technical standards, where I continued as an
`
`active member of the 802.11 Working Group and also continued as chair of the
`
`IEEE 802.11 Wireless Next Generation Standing Committee, among other
`
`work.

`
` For example, see https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/05/15-05-0473-00-0000-tgn-liaison-
`report-jul05.ppt which was the TGn – 802.15 liaison report for July 2005.
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`9.
`
`Since 2010 I have been a lecturer at the University of Colorado,
`
`Boulder, in the department of Computer Science. I have taught the Wireless
`
`Local Area Networks class in the graduate school since 2011, which is
`
`exclusively focused on IEEE 802.11 technology. Among other topics, I teach
`
`my students about the IEEE’s standard setting processes, including the
`
`processes by which 802.11 Working Group participants submit and retrieve
`
`documents in order to discuss various proposals in periodic Working Group
`
`meetings. As part of those lectures, I show my students how to use the IEEE’s
`
`Mentor website to find and download Working Group submissions, and we
`
`frequently review current proposals to evaluate their technical content. Students
`
`are able to browse and download submissions on Mentor without any need for a
`
`username, password or any other restrictions on access to documents.
`
`10.
`
`I have been a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
`
`Engineers (“IEEE”) since 1985 (38 years) and am currently a Life Senior
`
`Member. I have participated in the activities of the IEEE Standards Association
`
`(“IEEE-SA”) continuously since 2010, and before that with some breaks in
`
`voting membership. I have participated in the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area
`
`Networks (“WLAN”) Working Group since 1999, also with some breaks in
`
`voting membership.
`
`11. The IEEE-SA generates standards using processes that are
`
`recognized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as
`
`meeting typical standards development processes. IEEE-SA members can
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`
`participate in what used to be called Sponsor Ballots (now called SA Ballots)
`
`which is the review process for draft standards that have passed from the Task
`
`Group to the Working Group to the Sponsor Executive Committee. I have
`
`participated in several Sponsor/SA ballots over the last 13 years as an IEEE-SA
`
`member.
`
`12. The 802.11 Working Group operates indirectly under the IEEE-SA
`
`(with the IEEE 802 SEC providing overall oversight of all 802 Working
`
`Groups), and includes several Task Groups, each of which is typically
`
`responsible for generating a single amendment which will ultimately become
`
`part of the baseline IEEE standard. The Task Groups generate draft amendments
`
`for approval by the Working Group, which the Working Group presents
`
`(indirectly) for approval by IEEE-SA using the Sponsor/SA Ballot process after
`
`approval by the IEEE 802 SEC. Task Group n (TGn), which was formed in
`
`September 2003, was one task group that operated under the 802.11 Working
`
`Group.
`
`13. During the 2004 to 2005 timeframe, I was active as co-chair of the
`
`IEEE 802.15.3a Task Group, and attended every 802 meeting (which included
`
`meetings of the IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.18, and 802.19 Working Groups),
`
`posting, downloading, and reviewing submissions to the 802wirelessworld
`
`server as an active chair of an IEEE 802 Task Group.
`
`14. During the 2004 to 2005 timeframe, the 802.11 Working Group
`
`would hold regular meetings throughout the calendar year; these meetings were
`
`6
`
`
`
`(and continue to be) held every two months, so there are a total of six meetings
`
`per year. These meetings were open to the public. The only requirement for
`
`attending these meetings was that the attendee had to pay a registration fee.2
`
`Generally, attendees of the 802.11 Working Group meetings were engineers,
`
`researchers, and business persons interested in networking technologies,
`
`including wireless local area networking (WLAN) technologies.
`
`15. During the 2004 to 2005 timeframe, 802.11 Working Group
`
`members could provide submissions to the group for consideration. These
`
`submissions were presented at 802.11 Working Group meetings and were
`
`available to all participants. Submissions typically contained technical material
`
`that the group would discuss and consider whether to include in a standard.
`
`16. During this timeframe, members could make these submissions
`
`through the IEEE 802wirelessworld website.3 The attached “New Participant
`
`Orientation” slides, which were presented at the July 2004 meeting, explain
`
`how documents were submitted via the 802wirelessworld website. New
`
`Participant Orientation Slides4 (Appendix A); July 2004 Meeting Minutes,5 p. 5
`
`(Appendix B). As shown below, to submit a document, a member clicked the
`
`“Document Control Numbers” tab, entered some information about the

`
`document, clicked the “Request DCN” button to request a document control
`
`number, and uploaded the document to the server. New Participant Orientation
`
`Slides, slides 35-37 (Appendix A). A member could submit revisions to a
`
`document using the same process. New Participant Orientation Slides, slides 35-
`
`37 (Appendix A).
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`17. A submission’s Document Control Number provides some
`
`descriptive information about the submission. Slide 10 of the New Participant
`
`Orientation Slides (Appendix A) explains the meaning of the Document Control
`
`Numbers. Submissions were assigned a filename in the format gg-yy-sss[1]r(n)-
`
`G-HumanName.ext. The “gg” is the group (for example, “11” for 802.11), “yy”
`
`is the year the original document was submitted (for example, “04” for 2004),
`
`“sss” is a unique number sequentially assigned to each document, “l” is an
`
`optional letter for companion documents, “r” and “n” indicate the revision
`
`number (for example, “r0” indicates an original document and “r2” indicates a
`
`second revision), and “G” indicates the group to which a document is assigned.
`
`New Participant Orientation Slides, slide 10 (Appendix A). Note that slide 10
`
`refers to the “old” document submission process that was in operation before
`
`the 802wirelessworld website was used. For documents submitted via the
`
`9
`
`
`
`
`
`802wirelessworld website, Document Control Numbers were assigned
`
`automatically by the website. New Participant Orientation Slides, slides 36-37
`
`(Appendix A).
`
`18.
`
`In addition to being presented at the public Working Group
`
`meetings, submissions to the Working Group were accessible to any member of
`
`the public after free registration through the 802wirelessworld website during
`
`the 2004 to 2005 timeframe. To access Working Group submissions via the
`
`website, an interested member of the public could visit the 802wirelessworld
`
`website, click the “become a member” link, enter some required contact
`
`information, and create a password. New Participant Orientation Slides, slides
`
`25-30 (Appendix A). After creating an account, such a person could view the
`
`“Working Group Document Listing” and download any submissions that had
`
`been uploaded. New Participant Orientation Slides, slide 35 (Appendix A).
`
`19.
`
`In addition, submissions to the Working Group were also publicly
`
`available via FTP at ftp.wirelessworld.com. After creating a free account on the
`
`802wirelessworld website, a new user would be given the FTP server’s address
`
`and instructed to use the “ieee” login with a password of “wireless.” New
`
`Participant Orientation Slides, slide 35 (Appendix A). The FTP server’s address
`
`and login credentials were also publicly available elsewhere. For example, U.S.
`
`Patent No. 7,415,074, which was filed on December 21, 2004 and published on
`
`July 28, 2005, refers to IEEE submission number 802.11-03/714r0 and states
`
`that it is available at “ftp://ieee:wireless@ftp.802wirelessworld.com/.” U.S.
`
`10
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent No. 7,415,074, col. 1, ll. 32-39 (Appendix C). In the forgoing URL,
`
`“ieee” is the username, “wireless” is the password, and
`
`ftp.802wirelessworld.com is the domain name. My colleague Adrian Stephens
`
`also wrote a paper which was published in April 2005 in Volume 35, Issue 2 of
`
`the ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review that states that “WG
`
`working group documents are available (after free registration) from:
`
`http://802wirelessworld.com.” (Appendix D).
`
`20. The IEEE now maintains a website at the address
`
`https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents (“Mentor”) where any member of the
`
`public can download documents submitted to the 802.11 Working Groups. The
`
`Mentor website provides a variety of bibliographic information about each
`
`document. This bibliographic information includes the document number, title,
`
`authors, and the date a document was uploaded to the IEEE’s database (and
`
`made available to the public) as discussed above.
`
`21. The IEEE’s current Mentor website was established in mid-2007 to
`
`replace the 802wirelessworld website. All documents thereafter uploaded by
`
`members were available on the Mentor website. Member submissions that had
`
`been uploaded to the 802wirelessworld server prior to establishing the Mentor
`
`website were copied over to the Mentor website shortly after the Mentor
`
`website was created. I personally used the Mentor website between 2007 and
`
`2009, including to download documents that were previously submitted using
`
`the 802wirelessworld website. These documents retained their original titles,
`
`11
`
`
`
`
`
`authors, and document number. These documents also retained their original
`
`upload dates. From the time it was first available in 2007 to the present, the
`
`Mentor website and all of the documents that it contains, have been freely
`
`available to members of the public.
`
`22. The entries in the Mentor website can be searched and extracted by
`
`year, task group, title, or other parameters. Examples of such extractions are
`
`shown in Appendices E, H, K, M and Q. In the normal course of business of the
`
`802.11 Working Group, these database entries and the corresponding
`
`documents would have been available to any member of the public as of the
`
`indicated upload date, through either the 802wirelessworld or Mentor websites,
`
`and the documents that were previously submitted via the 802wirelessworld
`
`website would have been available via the Mentor website in 2007, shortly after
`
`the Mentor website was put into service.
`
`23. Appendix E shows an extract of all documents for Task Group N
`
`(TGn) with Document Control Number (DCN) 149. The last entry (bottom row)
`
`in Appendix E indicates that revision 0 of document 149 submitted to Task
`
`Group N was entitled “WWiSE Proposal: High throughput extension to the
`
`802.11 Standard” by C. Kose (Conexant) and B. Edwards (Broadcom), and was
`
`originally uploaded to the database on March 4, 2005, at which time it would
`
`have been publicly available. This entry corresponds to the document attached
`
`as Appendix F, which I personally downloaded from the Mentor website on

`
`database on August 15, 2004, at which time it would have been publicly
`
`available. This entry corresponds to the document attached as Appendix I,
`
`which I personally downloaded from the Mentor website on June 28, 2023.
`
`13
`
`
`
`
`
`Appendix I is a true and correct copy of the document I downloaded from the
`
`Mentor website.
`
`26. The first entry in Appendix H indicates that revision 6 of document
`
`886 submitted to Task Group N was entitled “WWiSE Proposal: High
`
`throughput extension to the 802.11 Standard” by Manoneet Singh (Texas
`

`
`which time it would have been publicly available. This entry corresponds to the
`
`document attached as Appendix J, which I personally downloaded from the
`
`Mentor website on June 28, 2023. Appendix J is a true and correct copy of the
`
`document I downloaded from the Mentor website. Appendix J is a revised
`
`version of the document attached as Appendix I and an earlier version of the
`
`documents attached as Appendices F and G. I am informed that Appendix J is
`
`being submitted as Exhibit 1013 to the petition being filed by Intel.
`
`27. Appendix K shows an extract of all documents for Task Group N
`
`containing “WWiSE” in the search field. The fifth entry in Appendix K
`
`identifies the same revision 5 of document 149 referenced above and attached as
`
`Appendix G. The second entry in Appendix K indicates that revision 1 of
`
`document 737 submitted to Task Group N was entitled “WWiSE Complete
`
`Proposal Presentation July 2005” by Sean Coffey (Realtek) and was uploaded
`
`on July 19, 2005, at which time it would have been publicly available. This
`
`entry corresponds to the document attached as Appendix L, which I personally
`
`downloaded from the Mentor website on June 27, 2023. Appendix L is a true
`
`14
`
`
`
`
`
`and correct copy of the document I downloaded from the Mentor website.
`
`Appendix L is a set of presentation slides for a presentation that was given to
`
`Task Group N by promoters of the WWiSE proposal attached as Appendix G.
`
`28. Appendix M shows an extract of all documents for Task Group N
`

`uploaded to the database on July 8, 2005, at which time it would have been
`
`publicly available. This entry corresponds to the document attached as
`
`Appendix S, which I personally downloaded from the Mentor website on June
`
`27, 2023. Appendix S is a true and correct copy of the document that I
`
`downloaded from the Mentor website.
`
`33. After IEEE-SA approved a final standard for publication (after the
`
`draft passed Sponsor/SA Ballot), the standard would be copy-edited by the
`
`IEEE-SA editorial department. The purpose of this process is to catch editorial
`
`(e.g., stylistic, grammatical, linguistic and syntactic) errors not caught by the
`
`balloting participants. During this process, the copy editor engages with the
`
`Task Group editor to ensure that no changes have any technical impact.
`
`34. After publication, IEEE standards are made available to members
`
`of the IEEE and for purchase by any member of the public. An example of one
`
`such standard is the IEEE 802.11a-1999 standard which I understand is being
`
`submitted as Exhibit 1015 to the petition being filed by Intel.

`IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents
`in Standards
`6. Patents
`IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the
`IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for
`compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. This assurance shall be
`provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent
`becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the
`form of either
`a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future
`patent(s) whose use would be required to implement the proposed IEEE standard against any person
`or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or
`
`b) A statement that a license will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates,
`with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination
`This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the
`standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.
