                                        STATEMENT OF THE CASE                                                   
                       Appellant appeals under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from a final rejection of                        
                claims 1 to 20.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b).

                employs one or more basis functions that describe the channel based on                          
                statistics of the channel, and the method employs one or more waveforms
