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.
Claims 2-3, 9-10, and 16, are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Dong ‘837 in view of Trainin et al (US 2023/0009140 A1)(hereinafter “Trainin”).
Regarding claim 2, 9, and 16, Dong ‘837 discloses all features of claims 1, 8, and 15 as outlined above.
Dong ‘837 also discloses wherein the sensing-by-proxy report frame carries a piece of frame data [0075]: according to some embodiments of this disclosure, the message frame in step 730 may be a sensing measurement report frame. For example, when the AP completes the sensing measurement setup with the proper responder and completes the sensing measurement process, it may carry the sensing measurement setup ID while reporting the sensing measurement result to the SBP requesting STA.). Dong ‘837 does not disclose wherein the piece of frame data is a medium access control management protocol data unit (MMPDU), and the piece of frame data comprises partial data of one measurement result in the sensing result, or all data of the one measurement result, or data of at least two measurement results. However, Trainin discloses wherein the piece of frame data is a medium access control management protocol data unit (MMPDU), and the piece of frame data comprises partial data of one measurement result in the sensing result, or all data of the one measurement result, or data of at least two measurement results [0111]: one of the STAs 804 may operate as the initiator device and use the AP 802 as a proxy to obtain measurement reports from the other STAs 804. For example, in some aspects, a first STA 804 may operate as the initiator device, the second and third STAs 804 may operate as responder devices, and the AP 802 may operate as a proxy for the first STA 804. [0062]: the payload 204 may include a PSDU including a data field (DATA) 214 that, in turn, may carry higher layer data, for example, in the form of medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (MPDUs) or an aggregated MPDU (A-MPDU). [0070]: the frame control field specifies the frame type, for example, a data frame, a control frame, or a management frame.).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to send or receive the sensing-by-proxy report frame or the sensing-by-proxy report frame set carrying the sensing result, as taught by Dong ‘837, in which the frame data is a MMPDU unit, as taught by Trainin. Doing so allows for communication between the SBP initiator and the SBP responder to conform the IEEE 802.11 stand to provide for greater interoperability between communication system elements (See Trainin [0079].).
Regarding claims 3 and 10, Dong ‘837 in view of Trainin discloses all features of claims 2 and 9 as outlined above.
Dong ‘837 does not disclose wherein in a case that at least two pieces of the frame data carry data belonging to a same measurement result, the at least two pieces of the frame data belong to a same aggregate medium access control protocol data unit (A-MPDU). However, Trainin discloses wherein in a case that at least two pieces of the frame data carry data belonging to a same measurement result, the at least two pieces of the frame data belong to a same aggregate medium access control protocol data unit (A-MPDU) ([0062]: the payload 204 may include a PSDU including a data field (DATA) 214 that, in turn, may carry higher layer data, for example, in the form of medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (MPDUs) or an aggregated MPDU (A-MPDU). [0069]: FIG. 4 shows an example PPDU 400 usable for communications between an AP 102 and a number of STAs 104. As described herein, each PPDU 400 includes a PHY preamble 402 and a PSDU 404. Each PSDU 404 may carry one or more MAC protocol data units (MPDUs). For example, each PSDU 404 may carry an aggregated MPDU (A-MPDU) 408 that includes an aggregation of multiple A-MPDU subframes 406. Each A-MPDU subframe 406 may include a MAC delimiter 410 and a MAC header 412 prior to the accompanying MPDU 414, which comprises the data portion (“payload” or “frame body”) of the A-MPDU subframe 406.).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to send or receive the sensing-by-proxy report frame or the sensing-by-proxy report frame set carrying the sensing result, as taught by Dong ‘837, in which the frame data is an A-MPDU unit, as taught by Trainin. Doing so allows for greater efficiency for communication between the SBP initiator and the SBP responder by providing for transmitting of multiple measurement results within the same frame.

Zhang does not disclose wherein the sensing-by-proxy report frame carries a More Cached Report indicating bit, wherein the more cached report indicating bit indicates whether more cached measurement result data needs to be transmitted upon transmission of frame data in an element. However, Zhang discloses wherein the sensing-by-proxy report frame carries a More Cached Report indicating bit, wherein the more cached report indicating bit indicates whether more cached measurement result data needs to be transmitted upon transmission of frame data in an element (Fig. 7, [0246]: Zhang discloses an extension header including a reserved flag field associated with a cache index. The cache index is used to carry an identifier of the cache entry. A length of a cache index is 4 bytes. The cache index may be set when a third flag is set to 1. The cache index may be set to 0 if a third flag is default. [0245]: a length of the third flag may be 1 bit. Accordingly, Zhang discloses a frame that includes a flag of 1 bit that indicates that cached data needs to be transmitted.).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to receive or transmit a sensing-by-proxy report frame from the sensing-by-proxy initiator, as taught by Dong ‘837, wherein the more cached report indicating bit indicates whether more cached measurement result data needs to be transmitted upon transmission of frame data in an element, as taught by Zhang.

Regarding claim 7, 14, and 20, Dong ‘837 discloses all features of claims 1, 8, and 15 as outlined above.
Dong ‘837 does not disclose wherein the sensing-by-proxy report frame carries a report index, wherein the report index indicates a corresponding index of frame data in an element in a cache of the sensing-by-proxy responder. However, Zhang discloses wherein the sensing-by-proxy report frame carries a report index, wherein the report index indicates a corresponding index of frame data in an element in a cache of the sensing-by-proxy responder (Fig. 7, [0246]: Zhang discloses an extension header including a reserved flag field associated with a cache index (“a report index”). The cache index is used to carry an identifier of the cache entry. Accordingly, Zhang discloses a frame that includes a cache index that indicates that a corresponding index of cached data. [0485] The identifier of the first cache entry is used to uniquely identify the first cache entry in a cache of the first proxy node. The identifier of the first cache entry may include a cache index of the first cache entry, and the cache index is used to identify the first cache entry on an interface board of the first proxy node.).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to receive or transmit a sensing-by-proxy report frame from the sensing-by-proxy initiator, as taught by Dong ‘837, wherein the sensing-by-proxy report frame carries a report index, wherein the report index indicates a corresponding index of frame data in an element in a cache of the sensing-by-proxy responder, as taught by Zhang.
