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.
Claim(s) 7 and 24 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Moon et al. (EP 4593488 A1) in view of vivo, “Discussions on enhancements on cell DTX/DRX mechanism.”, 3GPP TSG RAN WG1 #114, Toulouse, France, August 21st – August 25th, 2023, R1-2306763, hereafter D1.
Regarding claim 7, Moon does not disclose the following; however, D1 suggests the apparatus of claim 6, wherein, in order to perform the one or more actions, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to enter a low power state during the SBFD slot (pp 4-5, Section 2.2.4, Figure 1, Case 2 disclosing when cell is active on downlink transmissions (i.e., cell DTX active) and the UE is configured during that time for a C-DRX non-active that he UE follow behavior for non-active C-DRX period. Examiner takes official notice that it is well-known to one of ordinary skill in the art that UEs are configured to enter a low power state in the non-active portion of C-DRX in order to save power in the UE).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to modify the techniques of Moon as suggested by D1 because this can provide power savings in the UE (pg. 1 Section 2.1 first paragraph).
Regarding claim 24, Moon does not expressly disclose the following; however, D1 suggests the apparatus of claim 23, wherein, in order to perform the one or more actions, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the network entity to refrain from communicating with the UE during the SBFD slot (pp 5-6, Section 2.3.2, Fig. 2, case 2 disclosing when cell is active on uplink transmissions (i.e., cell DRX active) and the UE is configured during that time for a C-DRX non-active that the UE follow behavior for non-active C-DRX period. Examiner takes official notice that it is well-known to one of ordinary skill in the art that UEs are configured not to transmit during C-DRX non-active periods which would result in the base station not communicating with the UE).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to modify the techniques of Moon as suggested by D1 because this can provide power savings in the UE (pg. 1 Section 2.1 first paragraph).
Claim(s) 11, 13-14 and 27 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Moon et al. (EP 4593488 A1) in view of CATT, “Discussion on subband non-overlapping full duplex”, 3GPP TSG RAN WG1 Meeting #114, Toulouse, France, August 21st – 25th, 2023, R1-2307084, hereafter D2.
Regarding claim 11, Moon appears to disclose the apparatus of claim 10, wherein a UE can be configured for both uplink and downlink communications in the same set of symbols causing a conflict which can be resolved based on priority ([0090] disclosing a transmission direction conflict that a UE may decide which way to communicate based on priority of the communication), but does not expressly disclose the following; however, D2 appears to disclose the UE is configured to communicate on an uplink subband in the SBFD slot (pp 7-8, Section 2.1.4 disclosing a time domain conflict of the UEs UL and DL operation in the same SBFD symbol for SBFD aware UE, for example, case 4 collisions between configured UL transmissions which may be unavoidable by the gNB).
One of ordinary skill in the art when viewing the disclosure of D2 would be aware that such conflicts can occur in SBFD frames based on the disclosure of D2 and It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to consider such factors in the invention of Moon because D2 teaches certain outcomes are unavoidable and one of ordinary skill in the art, using common sense as a guide, would readily understand these conflicts could reduce communication efficiency unless they are mitigated.
Regarding claim 13, Moon discloses the apparatus of claim 11, wherein, in order to perform the one or more actions, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to receive signals in a downlink subband (Fig. 7, DL portion of second RB set in the slot with periods labeled G1 and G2; [0124] disclosing “periods G1 and G2 shown in FIG. 7 may be used for downlink transmission and downlink measurement because RB sets adjacent to the respective guard bands are all downlink resources.”; [0126]).
Regarding claim 14, Moon appears to disclose the apparatus of claim 11, wherein, in order to perform the one or more actions, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to receive signals in a frequency band of the SBFD slot, and the frequency band includes a subband allocated for downlink communications (Fig. 7, DL portions of each RB set in the slot including frequency portions of periods G1 and G2 seen as the frequency band; [0124] disclosing “periods G1 and G2 shown in FIG. 7 may be used for downlink transmission…because RB sets adjacent to the respective guard bands are all downlink resources.”; [0126]).
Moon does not expressly disclose the following; however, D2 appears to disclose the frequency band includes the uplink subband (pp 7-8, Section 2.1.4 disclosing a time domain conflict of the UEs UL and DL operation in the same SBFD symbol for SBFD aware UE, for example, case 4 collisions between configured UL transmissions which may be unavoidable by the gNB).
One of ordinary skill in the art when viewing the disclosure of D2 would be aware that such conflicts can occur in SBFD frames based on the disclosure of D2 and It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to consider such factors in the invention of Moon because D2 teaches certain outcomes are unavoidable and one of ordinary skill in the art, using common sense as a guide, would readily understand these conflicts could reduce communication efficiency unless they are mitigated.
Regarding claim 27, Moon appears to disclose the apparatus of claim 26, wherein, in order to perform the one or more actions, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the network entity to at least one of:
refrain from communicating with the UE during the SBFD slot,
transmit signals in a downlink subband (Fig, 7, DL portion of any RB set; [0126]), or
transmit signals in a frequency band of the SBFD slot, the frequency band including the uplink subband and a subband allocated for downlink communications.
Moon discloses a UE can be configured for both uplink and downlink communications in the same set of symbols causing a conflict which can be resolved based on priority ([0090] disclosing a transmission direction conflict that a UE may decide which way to communicate based on priority of the communication), but does not expressly disclose the following; however, D2 appears to disclose wherein: the configuration information configures the UE to communicate on an uplink subband in the SBFD slot (pp 7-8, Section 2.1.4 disclosing a time domain conflict of the UEs UL and DL operation in the same SBFD symbol for SBFD aware UE, for example, case 4 collisions between configured UL transmissions which may be unavoidable by the gNB).
One of ordinary skill in the art when viewing the disclosure of D2 would be aware that such conflicts can occur in SBFD frames based on the disclosure of D2 and It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to consider such factors in the invention of Moon because D2 teaches certain outcomes are unavoidable and one of ordinary skill in the art, using common sense as a guide, would readily understand these conflicts could reduce communication efficiency unless they are mitigated.
Claim(s) 12 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Moon et al. (EP 4593488 A1) in view of D2, further in view of D1.
Regarding claim 12, Moon does not disclose the following; however, D1 suggests the apparatus of claim 11, wherein, in order to perform the one or more actions, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to enter a low power state during the SBFD slot (pp 4-5, Section 2.2.4, Figure 1, Case 2 disclosing when cell is active on downlink transmissions (i.e., cell DTX active) and the UE is configured during that time for a C-DRX non-active that he UE follow behavior for non-active C-DRX period. Examiner takes official notice that it is well-known to one of ordinary skill in the art that UEs are configured to enter a low power state in the non-active portion of C-DRX in order to save power in the UE).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the invention to modify the techniques of Moon as suggested by D1 because this can provide power savings in the UE (pg. 1 Section 2.1 first paragraph).
Conclusion
The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure. Lauridsen et al. (US 2025/0056661 A1) discloses cell discontinuous reception (DRX) allows a network device to receive data within a period and sleep within another period when there are no packets to be received. The term “cell discontinuous transmission (DTX)” used herein refers to a technique that allows the network device to transmit data within a period and sleep within another period when there are no packets to be transmitted. The cell DRX/DTX can be used in mobile communication to conserve the battery and/or save energy of the network device ([0042]).
