Evolved Wireless, LLC v. Apple, Inc., C.A. Nos. 15-542-SLR, 15-543-SLR, 15-544-SLR, 15-545-SLR; 15-546-SLR, 15-547-SLR, November 14, 2016.

Robinson, J.   Claim construction opinion issues regarding seventeen terms from five patents.  A Markman hearing took place on October 6, 2016.

The disputed technology relates to code sequencing in wireless communication systems. The following terms were considered:

1. “A code sequence generator for generating a code sequence having a second length by cyclic extension of a code sequence having a first length, and performing a circular shift to the code sequence having the second length”

2. “A transmitting unit for transmitting the circular shifted code sequence having the second length”

3. “A sequence selecting module acquiring information about predetermined two or more random access preamble sequence sets, selecting one random access preamble sequence set from among the predetermined random access preamble sequence sets considering at least one of a size of information to be transmitted by the apparatus and a degree of a path loss, and randomly selecting a specific sequence within the selected random access sequence set”

4. “An access module accessing a random access channel using the specific sequence selected by the sequence selecting module”

5. “Handover”

6. “Target base station”

7. “The measurement report is used to determine”

8. “A radio protocol adapted to receive access information from a source base station after a handover request is accepted by the target base station and to perform a random access procedure with the target base station using the received access information, such that the access information is configured to permit the terminal to access the target base station”

9. “Wherein the dedicated preamble is determined by the target base Station”

10. “An Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (E-UMTS)”

11. “A reception module adapted to receive an uplink grant (UL Grant) signal from a base station on a specific message”

12. “A transmission module adapted to transmit data to the base station using the UL Grant signal received on the specific message”

13. “A Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) entity adapted to determine whether there is data stored in the Msg3 buffer when the reception module receives the UL Grant signal and the specific message is a random access response message, acquiring the data stored in the Msg3 buffer if there is data stored in the Msg3 buffer when the reception module receives the UL Grant signal and the specific message is the random access response message, and controlling the transmission module to transmit the data stored in the Msg3 buffer to the base station using the UL Grant signal received by the reception module on the specific message”

14. “A multiplexing and assembly entity used for transmission of new data”

15. “Wherein the HARQ entity acquires the new data to be transmitted from the multiplexing and assembly entity if there is no data stored in the Msg3 buffer when the reception module receives the UL Grant signal on the specific message or the received message is not the random access response message, and controls the transmission module to transmit the new data acquired from the multiplexing and assembly entity using the UL Grant signal received by the reception module on the specific message” (see Opinion for complete term).

16. “A preamble generation unit configured to generate said preamble sequence by repeating a specific sequence, having a length (L), N times to generate a consecutive sequence having a length (N*L) and concatenating a single cyclic prefix (CP) to a front end of said consecutive sequence”

17. “A transmission unit configured to transmit, on a random access channel, said preamble sequence to a receiving side”
