Dear BJ:
Attached please find charts listing the patents Qualcomm Incorporated has disclosed to ETSI as
potentially containing ESSENTIAL IPR (as that term is used in the ETSI IPR Policy). The charts also list
the portions of the standards to which each of the patents relate.
Please let us know whether any of the listed portions of the standards are not implemented in the Apple
products that are UMTS- or LTE-capable. I look forward to discussing further exchanges of information
with you.
Very truly yours,
Fabian Gonell

from non-transmitting neighboring access points, facilitating
reliable estimation of worst case carrier-to-interference (C/I), and
further allows the receiving devices (e.g., access terminals) to
easily recognize the bursts as pilot reference. In one
embodiment, each access point transmits the pilot bursts at or
near its maximum transmit power level and no user-specific data
is transmitted during the pilot bursts.

Wireless Communication the registration zones are defined to be small areas. In one SDO: ETSI Project: LTE Release 8 Spec: TS 24.301;
System scheme, a mobile station registers (e.g., at RR-level) with a
network entity (e.g., a base station) each time it enters a new
registration zone, which can correspond to an R-TMSI zone
defined by GSM MC-MAP. The mobile station maintains a timer
for each zone with which it has already registered but has since
left. If the mobile station leaves a particular zone for a period
longer than a time-out period, the registration with that zone
times out, and the mobile station re-registers with that zone
whenever it re-enters the zone. The mobile station may
implement zone-based, timer-based, implicit, traffic channel RR,
and some other registrations, or a combination thereof.
Parameters to facilitate registration may be defined by a base

minimizes the worst-case period necessary to reclaim traffic
channel resources following a release by periodically transmitting
a configuration packet to its access terminals. The configuration
packet indicates the allocation status of the traffic channels
belonging to the base station. If an access terminal receives a
configuration packet indicating the deallocation of one or all of its
traffic channels, the access terminal immediately ceases its use of
those traffic channels. If an access terminal fails to successfully
decode a configuration packet for a predetermined supervision
time, the access terminal releases its connection with all base
stations and associated traffic channels.

handoff between an forward link signal of a target base station in a mixed network of
asynchronous CDMA base synchronous and asynchronous base stations is disclosed. The
station and a synchronous serving base station transmits in a neighbor list an estimated
CDMA base station timing error 417 between the serving base station and a target
base station. By utilizing the timing information, a mobile station
estimates the relative time offset 408 between forward link
signals received from the serving base station and signals
received from the target base station. Timing information
acquired during handoff enables accurate updating of the
estimated timing error 417 subsequently transmitted in the
neighbor lists by the base stations.

terminal and the HDR radio network. During session
establishment or thereafter, the access terminal indicates to the
HDR radio network an interest in receiving unsolicited messages
from the CDMA radio network. The access terminal typically also
registers with the CDMA radio network. Thereafter, unsolicited
messages can be sent from a mobile station controller (MSC) to
the HDR and CDMA radio networks, or sent from the MSC to the
CDMA radio network, which then forwards the messages to the
HDR radio network. The HDR radio network encapsulates the
unsolicited messages and sends the encapsulated messages to
the access terminal. The forwarding of unsolicited messages
allows the CDMA radio network to communicate with an access
terminal.

derived from a residual
signal after whitening the speech signal by a linear prediction
filter. These gains are
then quantized and applied to a randomly generated sparse
excitation. The excitation is
filtered, and its spectral characteristics are analyzed and
compared to the spectral
characteristics of the original residual signal. Based on this
analysis, a filter is chosen
to shape the spectral characteristics of the excitation to achieve
optimal performance .

area of a first RAN using a first wireless interface to the coverage

determines whether routing ambiguity may result from the
change of RAN and, based on the determination, triggers a re-

registrations in order to determine whether multiple RAN-PDSN

Wireless Communication between a mobile station (38) and a base station (32) is in
System trouble, the mobile station and the infrastructure prearrange
potential call recovery operations. A trigger often initiates a call

contacts all recovery-capable neighbors as potential rescuers.
Each rescue base station is instructed to use a default channel for
rescue transmissions. The rescue transmission is considered a call
recovery operation. The mobile station establishes a soft hand-off
with rescue base station, wherein the FL uses the default channel
and an alternate channel. Once hand-off is complete the rescue
base station discontinues use of the default channel. In one
embodiment, the source cell base station provides the mobile
station with the list of recovery-capable neighbors as overhead
during transmissions and prior to development of the
communication link problem.

channels' achieved SNR. A base code is used in combination with
common or variable puncturing to achieve different coding rates
required by the transmission channels. The data (i.e., information
bits) for a data transmission is encoded with the base code, and
the coded bits for each channel (or group of channels with the
similar transmission capabilities) are punctured to achieve the
required coding rate. The coded bits may be interleaved (e.g., to
combat fading and remove correlation between coded bits in
each modulation symbol) prior to puncturing. The unpunctured
coded bits are grouped into non-binary symbols and mapped to
modulation symbols (e.g., using Gray mapping). The modulation
symbol may be "pre-conditioned" and prior to transmission.
