CTFR 18/451,561 CTFR 87588 Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status 07-03-aia AIA 15-10-aia The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. DETAILED ACTION This is in reply to amendment filed on 01/06/2026. Status of claims are: ** Claims 1-30 are pending. ** Claims 1, 11, 15, 19, 23, and 27 are amended Response to Arguments 07-37 AIA Applicant's arguments filed in the amendment filed 01/06/2026 , have been fully considered but they are not persuasive. The reasons are set forth below . The Applicant argues, bottom of page 2 – middle of page 3 of arguments : Page 3 of the Office Action relies on paragraphs 344, 345, 417, and 443 of ZHOU for allegedly disclosing "select, for a configured cell set that includes multiple transmit-receive point (TRP) groups, a TRP group modification associated with a cell group of the configured cell set," as recited in previously presented claim 1. Instead, paragraphs 417 of ZHOU recites: "A MAC CE (different from the first message) may be received (from the base station) indicating that the wireless device is to activate (and/or deactivate) one or more SCells." The “MAC CE” described in Zhou does not disclose the “TRP group modification” recited in amended claim 1, at least because Zhou does not disclose (emphasis added): where the TRP group modification comprises at least one of: adding a first TRP group to the activated group by activating the first TRP group; removing a second TRP group from the activated cell group by deactivating the second TRP group; or changing one or more special cells (SpCells) of one or more TRP groups within the activated cell group; and as recited in amended claim 1. In response , the examiner respectfully submits: Examiner respectfully disagrees considering the broadest reasonable interpretation consistent with Applicant’s specification. First, the applied claim language indicates only one “TRP group modification” message that is being sent, and not a second or third TRP group modification messages, although it is understood that the same message as taught by Zhou (i.e., MAC CE”) can be sent repeatedly again. Generally speaking, Examiner considers “TRP group modification” as a naming convention that is applied to a MAC CE that activates (i.e., adds) several cells or removes (i.e., deactivates) several cells. Secondly, Zhou teaches that the “MAC CE” that is sent to terminal device/UE, as having multiple “TCI State” activation (i.e., adding) / deactivation (i.e., removing) included in the MAC CE, wherein each “TCI state” corresponds to a TRP , (See para[0345]) , and wherein the “TCI state group” (i.e., TRP group) may comprise at least one TCI state (i.e., one TRP can be considered as a TRP group) ) (para[0333]) , however, Zhou does not seem to explicitly teach or suggest, that the MAC CE, as taught by Zhou , has a “TCI state/TRP group ID”, that indicates “ a particular group of TCIs/TRPs ) (i.e., emphasis added) as activated/deactivated, consistent with Applicant’s specification, as published under US 20240129819 A1, and in para[0094]-[0095]. However, in a similar field, Cirik in para[0504]-[0506] teaches “TCI state” can be configured with a “TRS ID”, wherein the “TRS ID” is a group ID, representing a “TCI state group” or a group of TCI states, and as such, the “MAC CE” can be used to activate/deactivate a group of TCI states (i.e., activating/deactivating a group of TRPs), as shown further in Fig. 25. (Cirik: See para[0504]-[0506] & Fig. 25) Third, Zhou, in para[0140]-[0141] , and Fig. 34A & 34B teaches that one of the “aggregated cells” (i.e., a group of cells) for a wireless device may be referred to as PCell, wherein the PCell may be the serving cell for the wireless device, and the other aggregated cells for the wireless device, may be referred to as SCells or secondary cells, and wherein both the SCell and the PCell are configured (i.e., activated) for the wireless device, as shown in Fig. 34 A &34 B. As such, Zhou suggest and teaches a group of cells configured for wireless device as shown in Fig. 34A and 34B, and in para[0140]-[0141]. In addition, Zhou in para[0331]-[0340] teaches a base station may have multiple TRPs as shown in Fig. 34A and Fig 34B, wherein each TRP of a base station may be identified by TRP identifier, a cell identifier, a group index, and wherein a TRP is associated with PCI of a Cell such as Cell 1 or Cell 2 as shown in Fig. 34A and 34B, and wherein a cell could be a serving cell and wherein a serving cell could be PCell, or SCell, or PSCell , etc. Now the question is, if Zhou suggests or teaches, that any one of cells of such group of SCells/PCells, or even a group of more than one (1) cell, can be activated (i.e., added) or deactivated (i.e., removed) for the wireless device, wherein “activating’ is understood as “adding” a cell, and deactivating is understood as “removing” a cell from the group of cells configured for the wireless device. The answer is yes. Zhou in para[0140]-[0141] teaches and suggests that such cells, such as SCells, may be activated (i.e., added) or deactivated (i.e., removed) and specifically it teaches that the “MAC CE” identifies which SCell is to be activated (i.e., added) or deactivated (i.e., removed) for the wireless device. Fig. 30B even shows that multiple SCells ( a group of TRPs) can be activated/deactivated. Fourth, as for the notion of “TRP group modification”, Examiner considers it broadly as equivalent to “MAC CE” messaging, that contains various cell (e.g., SCell, PSCell, PCell, etc) activation/deactivation attributes, as taught by Zhou , that either activates or deactivate a particular cell. Applicant’s own specification, in para[0077]-[0078], refers to “MAC CE” that indicates a selected configuration indication (TCI) associated with a PCI of a cell, and furthermore, in para[0089]-[0090], it indicates “TRP group activation MAC CE” includes “activation state field” that indicates an activation state (e.g., an enabled activation state or a disabled activation state) for a particular group within a configured cell. Applicant’s specification, in para[0093] and Fig. 5B teaches “TRP group configuration MAC CE” having a “SpCell ID”, and “Primary Group ID” that the network node (i.e., BS) may signal to UE. This is similar to the Zhou reference as applied by Examiner in Fig. 30B: PNG media_image1.png 796 592 media_image1.png Greyscale PNG media_image2.png 394 436 media_image2.png Greyscale Zhou in para[0284] and Fig. 30B indicates a table showing example of one or more “MAC CE” having different attributes such as those for SCell activation/deactivation in multiple fields , and hence suggesting a group of Cells or TRPs being activated/deactivated, that is sent to UE. Had the amended claims been more specific, and indicated “SpCell ID” and a “Primary Group ID” of “MAC CE”, then Examiner would have considered differently .

See also para[0296] for each serving cell (e.g., PCell, SCell, PSCell or SPCell) is activated) where the TRP group modification (i.e., MAC CE including multiple “TCI state” activation/deactivation” (i.e., “a TRP group modification”)) comprises at least one of: adding a first TRP group to the activated group by activating the first TRP group; (Zhou: See Fig. 34A, Fig. 34B, para[0140]-[0141], para[0331]-[0340], and Fig. 30B that shows multiple SCells (i.e., a group of TRPs) that may be activated (i.e. added) or deactivated (i.e., removed) for the wireless device, from a group of already activated cells for the wireless device.) removing a second TRP group from the activated cell group by deactivating the second TRP group; or changing one or more special cells (SpCells) of one or more TRP groups within the activated cell group; and and transmit the TRP group modification in at least one of layer 1 signaling or layer 2 signaling. (Zhou: See para[0409] “MAC CE” (i.e., TRP group modification) sent, is L1 signaling.) Although, Zhou teaches “MAC CE” including multiple “TCI state activation/deactivation” parameters, wherein each “TCI state” corresponds to a TRP,( para[0345]) , and wherein the “TCI state group” (i.e., TRP group) may comprise at least one TCI state (i.e., one TRP can be considered as a TRP group) ) (para[0333]) , however, Zhou does not seem to explicitly teach or suggest, that the MAC CE, as taught by Zhou , has a “TCI state/TRP group ID”, that indicates “ a particular group of TCIs/TRPs ) (i.e., emphasis added) as activated/deactivated, consistent with Applicant’s specification, as published under US 20240129819 A1, and in para[0094]-[0095]. However, in a similar field, Cirik in para[0504]-[0506] teaches “TCI state” can be configured with a “TRS ID”, wherein the “TRS ID” is a group ID, representing a “TCI state group” or a group of TCI states, and as such, the “MAC CE” can be used to activate/deactivate a group of TCI states (i.e., activating/deactivating a group of TRPs), as shown further in Fig. 25.

(Zhou: See para[0377]-[0379], Fig. 39, #3904, #3908) Cirik teaches “TCI state” can be configured with “TRS ID” that represents a group of “TCI states”, wherein a MAC CE then can be used to activate/deactivate a group of TCI states (i.e., activate/deactivate a group of TRPs). (Cirik: See para[0504]-[0506] & Fig. 25) It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, before the time of effective filing, to have included “TCI state” being further configured with a TRS ID indicative of a group of TCI states, as taught by Cirik , with the teachings of Zhou , in order to benefit from enhancements of being able to activate/deactivate a group of TCI states (i.e., a group of TRPs) via MAC CE signaling.
