Allowable Subject Matter
Claim 9 and 10 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter: the main reason for objecting the claim under discussion is the inclusion of “: the set of Doppler domain bases is a set of Q Doppler domain bases; and the method further comprises receiving a radio resource control (RRC) transmission, the RRC transmission specifying Q.” as the prior art of record in stand-alone form nor in combination read into the discloses claim as supported by the specification. Furthermore, the nearest prior art of record such as WO-2023042945-A1 to Jong, US-20210175937-A1 to Yamada, US-20210051508-A1 to Chung andUS-20220231740-A1 to Bhat discloses...prediction of CSI for different points in time but there are silent on the set of Doppler domain bases is a set of Q Doppler domain bases; and the method further comprises receiving a radio resource control (RRC) transmission, the RRC transmission specifying Q .Claim 10 is allowed as it depends from claim 9.
Conclusion
The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure.
