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 .
This office action is in response to the amendment of the application serial number 18/162,145 filed on09/25/2025 .
Claims 1-10, 11-20, 21-25, 26-30 are pending.
Response to Arguments
Applicant’s arguments with respect to claim(s) 1-10, 11-20, 21-25, 26-30 have been considered but are moot because the new ground of rejection does not rely on any reference applied in the prior rejection of record for any teaching or matter specifically challenged in the argument.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
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.
Claim(s) 1, 2-3, 6-9, 11, 12-13, 16-19, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 30 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over GHOLMIEH et al. ( US 20180103364, hereinafter, GHOLMIEH’s 364) in view of Catovic et al. ( US 20180324759, hereinafter, Catovic’s 759 ).
Regarding to the claim 1, US 20180103364 teaches a user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising: a memory; and one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
obtain an indication of a uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the URL includes user access information for access MBMS service ( obtain an indication of a uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the URL includes user access information for access MBMS service) [see Paragraphs 0078 & 0038 & 0126 & 0006 & 0111 & 0118 & 0081 & 0085 ].
Receive, based on the indication of URL, TMGI service announcement associated with the MBMS service ( [0065] In various aspects for a group call service, a TMGI may be announced, and a general purpose MBMS subchannel 760 may be established between the GCS AS 722 and the group call client 704. The general purpose MBMS subchannel 760 may be established through an association between the general purpose MBMS subchannel 760 and the TMGI (e.g., a TMGI associated with a group call service). The general purpose MBMS subchannel 760 may carry a UDP port of the source of a group call service and IP address of the group call service. The general purpose MBMS subchannel 760 may be limited to specific parameters, which may describe limited aspects of a group call service. The parameters of the general purpose MBMS subchannel 760 may be carried in a map group to bearer message (e.g., to inform the UE 702 about the start and/or access of a group call service). The map group to bearer message may include a TMGI, an MBMS subchannel for audio and floor control, and a mission critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) group identifier in the activated MBMS bearer used for the group call service, and so forth) [see Paragraph 0065]
However, US 20180103364 does not explicitly teach receive, based at least in part on the user access information, a service announcement associated with the ROM service.
US 20180324759, from the same or similar fields of endeavor, teaches
Receive a service announcement associated with the ROM ( based on the list of TMGIs for broadcast services, receiving a service announcement associated with the ROM service ) [see Paragraphs 0007 & 0024 & 0028 & 0033 & 0034 & 0036 & 0045 & 0053 & 0055 & 0059 & 0060 & 0062 & 0066 & 0067 0068 & 0069 ]

For example, eMBMS service layer 708 may obtain a uniform resource identifier (URI) (e.g., URL), which may be based on the current PLMN (e.g., a PLMN in which the UE 702 is operating). In an aspect, the URI may include a mobile country code (MCC) and/or a mobile network code (MNC). For example, a URI of mccxxx_mncyyy.operator.com may be used to query a server for an operator with an MCC of xxx and an MNC of yyy. In an aspect, the URI may include an indication or an agency or group call service. For example, a URI of mccxxx_mncyyy.operator.com/GDCH?agency=San_Diego_PD may be used to query a server to obtain a GDCH associated with group call service(s) of the San Diego police department. In such an aspect, the UE 702 may receive the TMGI of the GDCH 762 from the server in response to the URI.) [see Paragraph 0078 ].

[0008] Various embodiments may include methods for receiving a MBMS Service on a ROM computing device, including activating one or more TMGIs on the ROM computing device from a sub-range of TMGIs corresponding to supported service types of broadcast services intended for use by ROM computing devices, determining whether one or more supported broadcast services are available in response to activating the one or more TMGIs, and receiving one or more supported broadcast services on the ROM computing device in response to determining one or more supported broadcast services are available
Thus, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing data of the claimed invention to modify the system of US 20180103364 in view of US 20180324759 because US 20180324759 suggests that These improvements may also be applicable to other multi-access technologies and the telecommunication standards that employ these technologies.
Regarding to the claim 27, claim 27 is rejected the same limitations of the claim 3 above.
Regarding to the claim 30, claim 30 is rejected the same limitations of the claim 6 above.
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 4, 5, 10, 14, 15, 20, 23, 24, 28, 29 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.
