As to Claim 35. (Previously Presented) Yang discloses the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 32 [Fig. 26, Sections 0014, 0620, 0624] , Although Yang discloses a second sub-codebook includes ACK/NACK information (0490, 0532), and Zhou briefly discloses multiple codebooks but Yang and Zhou in combination do not explicitly/implicitly correlate second sub-codebook with PDSCH transmissions scheduled by a DCI; therefore silent on wherein the second sub-codebook includes HARQ-ACK information related to PDSCH transmissions scheduled by a DCI that schedules a plurality of PDSCH transmissions. However, Yang II teaches wherein the second sub-codebook includes HARQ-ACK information related to PDSCH transmissions scheduled by a DCI that schedules a plurality of PDSCH transmissions [Sections 0009, 0431, 0534: Wherein, based on the control information (i.e. DCI) including one of the first and second A/N codebooks which is related to scheduled PDSCH group. A second A/N sub-codebook corresponding to PDCCH/PDSCH indicated to a UE that is scheduled. A/N feedback corresponding to each PDSCH type sub-codebook is configured]. Therefore, it would have been obvious to one skilled in the art before the effective filing date to have combined the method of Yang relating to HARQ-ACK or A/N codebook/payload includes a first and second sub-codebooks and method of Zhou relating to base station transmit DCIs for scheduling PDSCH (0211) and wireless device transmits HARQ-ACK in response (0306) with the teaching of Yang II relating to second A/N or HARQ ACK/NACK sub/codebook is for PDSCHs scheduled by DCI/PDCCH. By combining the method/systems the second sub/codebook can include HARQ-ACK information/feedback for PDSCH transmissions thereby enabling the UE to perform feedback for PDSCH transmission as suggested by Yang II. As to Claim 40. (Previously Presented) Yang discloses the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 32 [Fig. 26, Sections 0014, 0620, 0624], Although Yang discloses DCI indicating specific cell Scell in relation to DCI indicating switching to a specific dormant BWP configured to disable a PDCCH monitoring or decoding operation of a UE (0536), and a first sub-codebook (0490); and Zhou discloses SCell can be set to dormant (0247); but Yang and Zhou in combination do not explicitly/implicitly correlate a sub-codebook with a dormant or disable cell therefore silent on wherein the first sub-codebook includes HARQ-ACK information related to a DCI cell that indicates dormancy of a secondary cell (SCell). However, Yang II teaches wherein the first sub-codebook includes HARQ-ACK information related to a DCI cell that indicates dormancy of a secondary cell (SCell) [Figs. 9A-B (SCC-second cells/component carriers), Sections 0130, 0303, 0477: A HARQ-ACK feedback or A/N configuration transmission method performed in consideration of one or more CC/cells (i.e. first cell/PCell, second cell/SCell). For a specific CC/cell information individually signaled for an A/N sub-codebook corresponding to TB based transmission. In addition, A/N feedback transmission based on DCI indicating a specific cell, Scell, indicating switching to a specific dormant BWP, through the special DCI is applied/performed]. Therefore, it would have been obvious to one skilled in the art before the effective filing date to have combined the method of Yang relating to DCI indicating specific cell, Scell, switching to a specific dormant BWP configured to disable a PDCCH monitoring or decoding operation of a UE and multiple sub-codebooks which includes HARQ-ACK or A/N information and method of Zhou relating to SCell can be set to dormant with the teaching of Yang II relating to HARQ-ACK or A/N feedback is performed for multiple CC/Cells (i.e. first cell/PCell, second cell/SCell), specific CC/cell (i.e. SCell) information signaled for A/N sub-codebook and DCI indicating specific cell, SCell switching to dormant frequency/BWP. By combining the methods/systems, the first sub-codebook can include HARQ-ACK or A/N feedback information relating to SCell dormancy thereby enabling the UE to disable PDCCH monitoring on SCell and indicate feedback . Conclusion 07-96 AIA The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure : 1. Blankenship et al. US 20230283415 2. YANG et al. US 20230163894 Furthermore, each additional prior arts cited on PTO-892 but not applied in rejection contains a disclosed description related to the claimed subject matter found either in the Figures, description summary and/or disclosure. Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL . See MPEP § 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a). A shortened statutory period for reply to this final action is set to expire THREE MONTHS from the mailing date of this action. In the event a first reply is filed within TWO MONTHS of the mailing date of this final action and the advisory action is not mailed until after the end of the THREE-MONTH shortened statutory period, then the shortened statutory period will expire on the date the advisory action is mailed, and any nonprovisional extension fee (37 CFR 1.17(a)) pursuant to 37 CFR 1.136(a) will be calculated from the mailing date of the advisory action. In no event, however, will the statutory period for reply expire later than SIX MONTHS from the mailing date of this final action.
