          Appeal No. 96-3618                                                          
          Application 08/004,598                                                      

          suggest the microcellular system communicating with the                     
          cellular base station.  The rejection of claims 73 and 77, and              
          dependent claims 74 and 76, is reversed.                                    

          18.  Claim 28:  § 103(a) over Gillig,                                       
               Sakanishi, Stoodley, and Schellinger                                   
               Claim 28 requires the "portable entity" corresponding to               
          a cordless base station to have an auxiliary transceiver for                
          communication with a cellular telephone system.  As discussed               
          in the preceding section 17, Schellinger does not suggest                   
          putting a cellular transceiver in the cordless base station                 
          that would communicate with a cellular telephone system.  The               
          rejection of claim 28 is therefore reversed.                                

          19.  Claim 47:  § 103(a) over                                               
               Gillig, Yorita, and Schellinger                                        
               Claim 47 requires the cordless base station to be                      
          operable to convey a conversation "without having connection                
          with a hard-wired telephone line."  Schellinger does not                    
          suggest putting a cellular transceiver in the cordless base                 
          station that would communicate with a cellular telephone                    
          system and, therefore, does not suggest a non-hardwired                     



                                       - 44 -
