Office Action

§103
DETAILED ACTION Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA . Double Patenting The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially created doctrine grounded in public policy (a policy reflected in the statute) so as to prevent the unjustified or improper timewise extension of the “right to exclude” granted by a patent and to prevent possible harassment by multiple assignees. A nonstatutory double patenting rejection is appropriate where the claims at issue are not identical, but at least one examined application claim is not patentably distinct from the reference claim(s) because the examined application claim is either anticipated by, or would have been obvious over, the reference claim(s). See, e.g., In re Berg, 140 F.3d 1428, 46 USPQ2d 1226 (Fed. Cir. 1998); In re Goodman, 11 F.3d 1046, 29 USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Longi, 759 F.2d 887, 225 USPQ 645 (Fed. Cir. 1985); In re Van Ornum, 686 F.2d 937, 214 USPQ 761 (CCPA 1982); In re Vogel, 422 F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); and In re Thorington, 418 F.2d 528, 163 USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969). A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(c) or 1.321(d) may be used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on a nonstatutory double patenting ground provided the reference application or patent either is shown to be commonly owned with this application, or claims an invention made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. A terminal disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(b). The USPTO internet Web site contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be used. Please visit http://www.uspto.gov/forms/. The filing date of the application will determine what form should be used. A web-based eTerminal Disclaimer may be filled out completely online using web-screens. An eTerminal Disclaimer that meets all requirements is auto-processed and approved immediately upon submission. For more information about eTerminal Disclaimers, refer to http://www.uspto.gov/patents/process/file/efs/guidance/eTD-info-I.jsp. Claims 1-42 are non-provisionally rejected on the ground of nonstatutory obviousness-type double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 1-76 of US Patent No.11,388,679. Although the claims at issue are not identical, they are not patentably distinct from each other because claims 1-76 of US Patent No. 11,388,679 encompasses the limitations of claims 1-42 of instant application. Moreover, omission of a reference element whose function is not needed would be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art. It is well settled that the omission of an element and its functions is an obvious expedient if the remaining elements performs the same function as before In re Karison, 163 USPQ 184 (CCPA 1963). Also note Ex parte Rainu, 168 uspq 375 (Bd. App. 1969). More specifically, claims 1-42 of the present application are same scope, same function and same results as claims 1-76 of the US Patent No. 11,388,679. In addition, even though the claims of present application omitted or simply rearranged claimed structure, or added the limitation using similar claimed elements, the function and results of claimed invention of the US Patent No. 11,388,679 is same as claimed invention of the present application. In addition, the independent claims 1, 12, 22, and 33 of the present application is the same invention as the independent claims 1, 11, 20, 30, 39, 49, 58, and 68 of the US Patent No. 11,388,679. The subject matter in the instant application is fully disclosed in the US Patent No. 11,388,679 and is covered by the US Patent No. 11,388,679 since the US Patent No. 11,388,679 and the instant application are claiming common subject matter, as follows, and the difference of the limitations are wordings differently.

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103 The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action: A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made. The factual inquiries for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows: 1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art. 2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue. 3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art. 4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating obviousness or nonobviousness. This application currently names joint inventors. In considering patentability of the claims the examiner presumes that the subject matter of the various claims was commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the claimed invention(s) absent any evidence to the contrary. Applicant is advised of the obligation under 37 CFR 1.56 to point out the inventor and effective filing dates of each claim that was not commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the later invention in order for the examiner to consider the applicability of 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(2)(C) for any potential 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) prior art against the later invention. Claims 1, 7, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 22, 28, 31, 33, 35, 37, and 41 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Nayeb Nazar et al. (US Patent #10,904,895) in view of Babaei et al. (US 2018/0041997). Regarding claims 1 and 22, Nayeb Nazar teaches a method comprising: receiving, by a wireless device, a control message indicating an activation of channel state information (CSI) reporting (Claims 1 and 9, especially Claim 9, Nayeb Nazar teaches a transceiver configured to receive an indication to activate a semi-persistent channel state information (CSI) reporting. That means when base station transmits an indication to activate a semi-persistent channel state information (CSI) reporting, it inherently requires transmission power); and transmitting at least one CSI reporting, via an uplink channel, using a transmission power based on: at least one value associated with the activation of CSI reporting (Claims 1 and 9, especially Claim 9 teaches…………. a processor configured to activate the semi-persistent CSI reporting for a serving cell based on the received indication; wherein: the transceiver is configured to transmit (uplink channel) one or more CSI reports for the serving cell, after the semi-persistent CSI reporting is activated. Same way, when mobile terminal transmit via an uplink channel one or more CSI reports for the serving cell, after the semi-persistent CSI reporting is activated, it inherently requires transmission power in order to transmit), but does not specifically teach a transmission power that is adjusted based on the activation of CSI reporting. However, in related art, Babaei teaches a transmission power that is adjusted based on activation of CSI reporting (Paragraph 0164….. power-control commands may be provided simultaneously to a group of UEs on PDCCH using one or more DCI formats (e.g., DCI formats 3 or 3A). In an example, an eNB may transmit DCI format 3/3A on a regular basis to adjust the PUCCH transmit power, for example, prior to periodic uplink CSI reports or activation of CSI reporting). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was made to use (pre-AIA ) or before the effective filing date of the claimed invention (AIA ) to use Babaei’s teaching about a transmission power that is adjusted based on activation of CSI reporting with Nayeb Nazar’s invention in order to enhance signal quality in communication system. Regarding claims 7 and 28, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei teach all the claimed elements in claim 1. In addition, Nayeb Nazar teaches the method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a radio network temporary identifier associated with CSI reporting, wherein the activation of CSI reporting is based on the radio network temporary identifier and downlink control information of the control message (Claims 7 and 15). Regarding claims 10 and 31, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei teach all the claimed elements in claim 1. In addition, Nayeb Nazar teaches the method of claim 1, wherein the CSI reporting comprises at least one of: periodic CSI reporting; semi-persistent (SP) CSI reporting; or aperiodic CSI reporting (Col 23, lines 35-50). Regarding claims 12 and 33, Nayeb Nazar teaches a method comprising: receiving, by a wireless device, at least one control message comprising at least one of: a first indication associated with an activation of channel state information (CSI) reporting (Claims 1 and 9, especially Claim 9, Nayeb Nazar teaches a transceiver configured to receive an indication to activate a semi-persistent channel state information (CSI) reporting. That means when base station transmits an indication to activate a semi-persistent channel state information (CSI) reporting, it inherently requires transmission power); or a second indication associated with a deactivation of CSI reporting; and transmitting, via an uplink channel and based on at least one of the first indication associated with the activation of CSI reporting (Claims 1 and 9, especially Claim 9 teaches…………. a processor configured to activate the semi-persistent CSI reporting for a serving cell based on the received indication; wherein: the transceiver is configured to transmit (uplink channel) one or more CSI reports for the serving cell, after the semi-persistent CSI reporting is activated. Same way, when mobile terminal transmit via an uplink channel one or more CSI reports for the serving cell, after the semi-persistent CSI reporting is activated, it inherently requires transmission power in order to transmit) or the second indication associated with the deactivation of CSI reporting, uplink information, but does not specifically teach a transmission power that is adjusted based on the activation of CSI reporting. However, in related art, Babaei teaches a transmission power that is adjusted based on the activation of CSI reporting (Paragraph 0117….. assigned uplink resources (PUCCH and/or PUSCH) for the feedback of downlink carrier CSI information in an efficient manner regardless of the number of downlink carriers that are currently activated. In the present system, methods such as including additional signaling bits to indicate which CSI reports are included in a particular feedback transmission, variable rate coding based on the number of reported carriers, and adjusting the UE transmission power based on the payload size and effective coding rate may each be used to provide for the improved system operation). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was made to use (pre-AIA ) or before the effective filing date of the claimed invention (AIA ) to use Babaei’s teaching about a transmission power that is adjusted based on the activation of CSI reporting with Nayeb Nazar’s invention in order to enhance signal quality in communication system. . Regarding claims 14 and 35, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei teach all the claimed elements in claim 1. In addition, Nayeb Nazar teaches the method of claim 12, wherein the uplink information comprises at least one of: at least one CSI report (Col 23, lines 36-40); or uplink shared channel data. Regarding claims 16 and 37, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei teach all the claimed elements in claim 1. In addition, Nayeb Nazar teaches the method of claim 12, further comprising: receiving a radio network temporary identifier associated with CSI reporting, and wherein the activation of CSI reporting or the deactivation of CSI reporting is based on the radio network temporary identifier and downlink control information of the at least one control message (Claims 7 and 15). Regarding claims 20 and 41, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei teach all the claimed elements in claim 1. In addition, Nayeb Nazar teaches the method of claim 12, wherein the CSI reporting comprises at least one of: periodic CSI reporting; semi-persistent (SP) CSI reporting; or aperiodic CSI reporting (Col 23, lines 35-50). Claims 8, 18, 29, and 39 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Nayeb Nazar et al. (US Patent #10,904,895) in view of Babaei et al. (US 2018/0041997), and further in view of Ouchi et al. (US 2014/0226551). Regarding claims 8 and 29, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei fail to teach the method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, from a base station, at least one message comprising the at least one uplink power control parameter, wherein the at least one value comprises at least one of: a correction value; an accumulated value; or a value associated with accumulation of a transmit power control (TPC) command. However, in related art, Ouchi teaches the method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, from a base station, at least one message comprising the at least one uplink power control parameter, wherein the at least one value comprises at least one of: a correction value; an accumulated value; or a value associated with accumulation of a transmit power control (TPC) command (Paragraph 0246). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was made to use (pre-AIA ) or before the effective filing date of the claimed invention (AIA ) to use Ouchi’s teaching about receiving, from a base station, at least one message comprising the at least one uplink power control parameter, wherein the at least one value comprises at least one of: a correction value; an accumulated value; or a value associated with accumulation of a transmit power control (TPC) command with Nayeb Nazar’s and Babaei’s invention in order to enabling correct and effective uplink power control performance. Regarding claims 18 and 39, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei fail to teach the method of claim 12, further comprising: determining at least one value associated with at least one of the activation of CSI reporting or the deactivation of CSI reporting, wherein the at least one value comprises at least one of: a correction value; an accumulated value; or a value associated with accumulation of a transmit power control (TPC) command. However, in related art, Ouchi teaches the method of claim 1, further comprising determining at least one value associated with at least one of the activation of CSI reporting or the deactivation of CSI reporting, wherein the at least one value comprises at least one of: a correction value; an accumulated value; or a value associated with accumulation of a transmit power control (TPC) command (Paragraph 0246). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was made to use (pre-AIA ) or before the effective filing date of the claimed invention (AIA ) to use Ouchi’s teaching about determining at least one value associated with at least one of the activation of CSI reporting or the deactivation of CSI reporting, wherein the at least one value comprises at least one of: a correction value; an accumulated value; or a value associated with accumulation of a transmit power control (TPC) command with Nayeb Nazar’s and Babaei’s invention in order to enabling correct and effective uplink power control performance. Claims 9, 17, 19, 30, 38, and 40 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Nayeb Nazar et al. (US Patent #10,904,895) in view of Babaei et al. (US 2018/0041997), and further in view of Lee et al. (US 2008/0037671). Regarding claims 9 and 30, the combination of Nayeb Nazar and Babaei fail to teach the method of claim 1, further comprising determining the at least one value by performing at least one of: changing at least one previous value to the at least one value; setting the at least one value; initializing the at least one previous value to the at least one value; resetting the at least one previous value to the at least one value; scaling down the at least one previous value to the at least one value; or scaling up the at least one previous value to the at least one value.
