CTNF 18/838,172 CTNF 99177 DETAILED ACTION 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. 07-30-03-h AIA Claim Interpretation 07-30-03 AIA The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(f): (f) Element in Claim for a Combination. – An element in a claim for a combination may be expressed as a means or step for performing a specified function without the recital of structure, material, or acts in support thereof, and such claim shall be construed to cover the corresponding structure, material, or acts described in the specification and equivalents thereof. The following is a quotation of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph: An element in a claim for a combination may be expressed as a means or step for performing a specified function without the recital of structure, material, or acts in support thereof, and such claim shall be construed to cover the corresponding structure, material, or acts described in the specification and equivalents thereof. 07-30-05 The claims in this application are given their broadest reasonable interpretation using the plain meaning of the claim language in light of the specification as it would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The broadest reasonable interpretation of a claim element (also commonly referred to as a claim limitation) is limited by the description in the specification when 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, is invoked. As explained in MPEP § 2181, subsection I, claim limitations that meet the following three-prong test will be interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph: (A) the claim limitation uses the term “means” or “step” or a term used as a substitute for “means” that is a generic placeholder (also called a nonce term or a non-structural term having no specific structural meaning) for performing the claimed function; (B) the term “means” or “step” or the generic placeholder is modified by functional language, typically, but not always linked by the transition word “for” (e.g., “means for”) or another linking word or phrase, such as “configured to” or “so that”; and (C) the term “means” or “step” or the generic placeholder is not modified by sufficient structure, material, or acts for performing the claimed function. Use of the word “means” (or “step”) in a claim with functional language creates a rebuttable presumption that the claim limitation is to be treated in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph. The presumption that the claim limitation is interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, is rebutted when the claim limitation recites sufficient structure, material, or acts to entirely perform the recited function. Absence of the word “means” (or “step”) in a claim creates a rebuttable presumption that the claim limitation is not to be treated in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph. The presumption that the claim limitation is not interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, is rebutted when the claim limitation recites function without reciting sufficient structure, material or acts to entirely perform the recited function. Claim limitations in this application that use the word “means” (or “step”) are being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, except as otherwise indicated in an Office action. Conversely, claim limitations in this application that do not use the word “means” (or “step”) are not being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, except as otherwise indicated in an Office action. This application includes one or more claim limitations that use the word “means”, and are being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre‐AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, because the claim limitations are coupled with functional language without reciting sufficient structure to perform the recited function and the generic placeholder is not preceded by a structural modifier. Such claim limitations are: “means for receiving a first”, “means for receiving a second”, “means for multiplexing the first”, “means for multiplexing the second” and “means for transmitting” in claim 41. Regarding “means for receiving a first” and “means for receiving a second”, the corresponding structure can be found at [FIG.9], specification [0153], “Receiver”. Regarding “means for multiplexing the first” and “means for multiplexing the second”, the corresponding structure can be found at [FIG.9], specification [0161] and [0156], “Processor”. Regarding “means for transmitting”, the corresponding structure can be found at [FIG.9], specification [0154], “Transmitter”. Because these claim limitations are being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre‐AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, they are being interpreted to cover the corresponding structure described in the specification as performing the claimed function, and equivalents thereof. If applicant does not intend to have this/these limitation(s) interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre‐AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, applicant may: (1) amend the claim limitation(s) to avoid it/them being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre‐AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph (e.g. by reciting sufficient structure to perform the claimed function); or (2) present a sufficient showing that the claim limitation(s) recite(s) sufficient structure to perform the claimed function so as to avoid it/them being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre‐AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102 07-06 AIA 15-10-15 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. 07-07-aia AIA 07-07 The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action: A person shall be entitled to a patent unless – 07-12-aia AIA (a)(2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under section 151, or in an application for patent published or deemed published under section 122(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the claimed invention. 07-15-03-aia AIA Claim s 18-21, 28-31, 34, 36-37, 39, and 41 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) as being anticipated by Chen et al.

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103 07-06 AIA 15-10-15 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. 07-20-aia AIA 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. 07-23-aia AIA The factual inquiries for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows: 1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art. 2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue. 3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art. 4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating obviousness or nonobviousness. 07-20-02-aia AIA This application currently names joint inventors. In considering patentability of the claims the examiner presumes that the subject matter of the various claims was commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the claimed invention(s) absent any evidence to the contrary. Applicant is advised of the obligation under 37 CFR 1.56 to point out the inventor and effective filing dates of each claim that was not commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the later invention in order for the examiner to consider the applicability of 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(2)(C) for any potential 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) prior art against the later invention. 07-21-aia AIA Claim s 22-24 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Chen as applied to claim 18 above, in view of Xu et al. ( US 20230261848 A1 ), hereinafter “Xu” . Regarding to claim 22 , Chen teaches the method of claim 18 (discussed above). Chen teaches ‘ receiving an indication of an association between unified transmission configuration indicator states and uplink control channel resources available for transmission of scheduling requests or channel state information ’ ( Chen: [0034]: “For a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the beam used can be indicated similarly. Specifically, for each PUCCH resource, multiple pieces of spatial relation information (PUCCH-spatialrelationinfo) are configured in RRC signaling”; [0048]: “The transmission mode of at least one of the first uplink signal, the first PUCCH, and the second PUCCH may be determined according to the TCI state of the first uplink signal”; [0075]: “the first information includes the TCI state of the first uplink signal … Multiplex and transmit the first uplink signal and the first PUCCH when a reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first uplink signal is the same as that indicated by a TCI state or spatial relation information of the first PUCCH”; [0078]: “the first uplink signal is a third PUCCH, the reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first uplink signal is CSI-RS resource 0, the reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first PUCCH is also CSI-RS resource 0 … the third PUCCH and the first PUCCH are multiplexed and transmitted”; [0069]: “The third PUCCH may be a PUCCH carrying CSI, or may be a PUCCH carrying an SR”, receive indication of an association between TCI states and PUCCH resources for SR or CSI ). However, Chen fails to expressly teach unified TCI states. Xu in the same field of endeavor teaches UE may be configured with ‘ unified TCI states ’ ( Xu: [0214]: “FIG. 17 illustrates unified TCI states … Each of the one or more unified uplink TCI states may be used, by the wireless device, (or may be configured by the base station via RRC messages)”; [0215]: “Each unified TCI state of the unified TCI state pool (e.g., unified joint TCI state pool, unified UL TCI state pool, or unified DL TCI state pool) may be referred to as a common beam used for a reception and/or a transmission by the wireless device”; [0232]: “increases transmission and/or reception performances of the wireless device and base station with beam diversity gain in downlink and uplink ”). It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to combine Xu’s teaching with that of Chen in order to increase TX/RX performance with a common beam used for TX/RX (see reference quotes in element above). Regarding to claim 23 , Chen teaches the method of claim 18 (discussed above). Chen teaches ‘ selecting the first plurality of uplink control channel resources for multiplexing based at least in part on an association between the first plurality of uplink control channel resources and a unified transmission configuration indicator state corresponding to the first control resource set pool index ’ ( Chen: [0048]: “The transmission mode of at least one of the first uplink signal, the first PUCCH, and the second PUCCH may be determined according to the TCI state of the first uplink signal”; [0052]: “the terminal device multiplexes and transmits the first uplink signal and the first PUCCH””; [0075]: “the first information includes the TCI state of the first uplink signal … Multiplex and transmit the first uplink signal and the first PUCCH when a reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first uplink signal is the same as that indicated by a TCI state or spatial relation information of the first PUCCH”; [0078]: “the first uplink signal is a third PUCCH, the reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first uplink signal is CSI-RS resource 0, the reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first PUCCH is also CSI-RS resource 0 … the third PUCCH and the first PUCCH are multiplexed and transmitted”; [0069]: “The third PUCCH may be a PUCCH carrying CSI, or may be a PUCCH carrying an SR”, based an association between TCI states and PUCCH resources for SR or CSI ). However, Chen fails to expressly teach a unified TCI state corresponding to the first CORESET pool index. Xu teaches a unified TCI states associated with first CORESET pool index ( Xu: [0230]: “The wireless device may receive, from the baser station, configuration parameters indicating first unified TCI states associated with the first TRP (e.g., TRP1) or first CORESET pool index (e.g., CORESET pool index0)”; [0232]: “a wireless device may transmit and/or receive: first uplink/downlink signals to/from the first TRP based on the unified joint TCI state 1 … ; and second uplink/downlink signals to/from the second TRP based on the unified joint TCI state 2, which increases transmission and/or reception performances of the wireless device and base station with beam diversity gain in downlink and uplink” ). It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to combine Xu’s teaching with that of Chen to select the first plurality of uplink control channel resources for multiplexing based at least in part on an association between the first plurality of uplink control channel resources and a unified transmission configuration indicator state corresponding to the first control resource set pool index in order to increase TX/RX performance (see reference quotes in element above). Regarding to claim 24 , Chen teaches the method of claim 18 (discussed above). Chen teaches ‘ selecting the second plurality of uplink control channel resources for multiplexing based at least in part on an association between the second plurality of uplink control channel resources and a unified transmission configuration indicator state corresponding to the second control resource set pool index ’ ( Chen: [0048]: “The transmission mode of at least one of the first uplink signal, the first PUCCH, and the second PUCCH may be determined according to the TCI state of the first uplink signal”; [0060]: “the terminal multiplexes and transmits the first uplink signal and the second PUCCH”; [0075]: “the first information includes the TCI state of the first uplink signal … Multiplex and transmit the first uplink signal and the first PUCCH when a reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first uplink signal is the same as that indicated by a TCI state or spatial relation information of the first PUCCH”; [0078]: “the first uplink signal is a third PUCCH, the reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first uplink signal is CSI-RS resource 0, the reference source signal indicated by the TCI state of the first PUCCH is also CSI-RS resource 0 … the third PUCCH and the first PUCCH are multiplexed and transmitted”; [0069]: “The third PUCCH may be a PUCCH carrying CSI, or may be a PUCCH carrying an SR”, based an association between TCI states and PUCCH resources for SR or CSI; [0053]: “the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH are interchangeable” ). However, Chen fails to expressly teach a unified TCI state corresponding to the second CORESET pool index. Xu teaches a unified TCI state corresponding to the second CORESET pool index ( Xu: [0230]: “The wireless device may receive, from the baser station, the configuration parameters indicating second unified TCI states associated with the second TRP (e.g., TRP2) or second CORESET pool index (e.g., CORESET pool index1)”; [0232]: “a wireless device may transmit and/or receive: first uplink/downlink signals to/from the first TRP based on the unified joint TCI state 1 … ; and second uplink/downlink signals to/from the second TRP based on the unified joint TCI state 2, which increases transmission and/or reception performances of the wireless device and base station with beam diversity gain in downlink and uplink” ).

( US 20230080392 A1 ), hereinafter “Chen2” . Regarding to claim 25 , Chen teaches the method of claim 18 (discussed above). Chen teaches ‘ receiving a control signal that indicates an association between closed loop indices and uplink control channel resources available for transmission of scheduling requests or channel state information ’ ( Chen: [FIG.2D]: “FIRST UPLINK SIGNAL CARRYING SR”; [FIG.2E]: “FISRT UPLINK CARRYING CSI”; [0141]: “when the first PUCCH carries CSI, a CORESET pool index associated with the first PUCCH is a CORESET pool index associated with a PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH and configured by higher-layer signaling”; [0144]: “when the first PUCCH carries an SR, a CORESET pool index associated with the first PUCCH is a CORESET pool index associated with a PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH and configured by higher-layer signaling”; receive control receive control information about association between CORESET pool index and PUCCH resources for SR or CSI ). However, Chen fails to expressly teach closed loop indices. Chen2 in the same field of endeavor teaches determine index of closed loop power control based on CORESET pool index for PUCCH transmission ( Chen2: [0117]: “When the CORESET group index of the uplink signal is 0, it is determined that the index of the closed-loop power control adjustment state of the uplink signal is 0; when the CORESET group index of the uplink signal is 1, it is determined that the index of the closed-loop power control adjustment state of the uplink signal is 1”; [0179]: “the terminal device determines the transmission power of the PUCCH according to the closed-loop power control adjustment state , and transmits the PUCCH with the determined transmission power” ). It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to combine Chen2’s teaching with that of Chen for UE to receive a control signal that indicates an association between closed loop indices and uplink control channel resources available for transmission of scheduling requests or channel state information in order to adjust the transmission power of the PUCCH based on closed-loop power control (see reference quotes in element above). Regarding to claim 26 , Chen teaches the method of claim 18 (discussed above). Chen teaches ‘ selecting the first plurality of uplink control channel resources for multiplexing based at least in part on an association between the first plurality of uplink control channel resources and a closed loop index corresponding to the first control resource set pool index ’ ( Chen: [FIG.2D]: “FIRST UPLINK SIGNAL CARRYING SR”; [FIG.2E]: “FISRT UPLINK IS THIRD PUCCH CARRYING CSI”; [0052]: “the terminal device multiplexes and transmits the first uplink signal and one of the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH which is associated with the same CORESET pool index as the first uplink signal … the terminal device multiplexes and transmits the first uplink signal and the first PUCCH ”). However, Chen fails to expressly teach a closed loop index corresponding to the first CORESET pool index. Chen2 teaches a closed loop index corresponding to the first CORESET pool index ( Chen2: [0177]: “When the CORESET group index of the uplink signal is 0, it is determined that the index of the closed-loop power control adjustment state of the uplink signal is 0”; [0179]: “the terminal device determines the transmission power of the PUCCH according to the closed-loop power control adjustment state, and transmits the PUCCH with the determined transmission power ”).

Regarding to claim 27 , Chen teaches the method of claim 18 (discussed above). Chen teaches ‘ selecting the second plurality of uplink control channel resources for multiplexing based at least in part on an association between the second plurality of uplink control channel resources and a closed loop index corresponding to the second control resource set pool index ’ ( Chen: [FIG.2D]: “FIRST UPLINK SIGNAL CARRYING SR”; [FIG.2E]: “FISRT UPLINK IS THIRD PUCCH CARRYING CSI”; [0052]: “the terminal device multiplexes and transmits the first uplink signal and one of the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH which is associated with the same CORESET pool index as the first uplink signal”; [0060]: “the terminal multiplexes and transmits the first uplink signal and the second PUCCH” ). However, Chen fails to expressly teach a closed loop index corresponding to the second CORESET pool index. Chen2 teaches a closed loop index corresponding to the second CORESET pool index ( Chen2: [0177]: “when the CORESET group index of the uplink signal is 1, it is determined that the index of the closed-loop power control adjustment state of the uplink signal is 1”; [0179]: “the terminal device determines the transmission power of the PUCCH according to the closed-loop power control adjustment state, and transmits the PUCCH with the determined transmission power ”).

( US 20160192350 A1 ), hereinafter “Yi” . Regarding to claim 35 , Chen teaches the method of claim 18 (discussed above). Chen teaches ‘ wherein transmitting the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information is based at least in part on a capability of the UE to support simultaneous uplink control channel transmissions ’ ( Chen: [0106]: “If the ACK/NACK feedback mode is separate feedback, the manner of multiplexing the first uplink signal and the target PUCCH includes multiplexing information carried by the first uplink signal and information carried by the first PUCCH and transmitting on the first PUCCH, and transmitting the second PUCCH on a different time-domain resource ”). However, Chen fails to expressly teach based at least in part on a capability of the UE to support simultaneous uplink control channel transmissions. Yi in the same field of endeavor teaches UE capability for simultaneous uplink control channel transmissions ( Yi: [0106]: “the UE supports simultaneous PUCCH/PUCCH (this capability can be referred as dual connectivity capability” ). It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to combine Yi’s teaching with that of Chen in order to avoid multiplexing simultaneous PUCCH transmissions when UE could not support .
