Appeal No. 1998-2608
Application 08/570,439
which also comprises such a comparable database of the type
claimed. The basis for the discussion of such a list in
Hamabe is derived from the examiner-noted discussion of the
middle paragraph of column 1 of this reference, which also
teaches that a list of available channels according to past
history of co-channel interference is kept in the prior art to
Hamabe which is utilized as a basis for determining future
dynamic channel allocations as taught in this reference. It
is also taught in the context of uplink and downlink signals.
As a measure of co-channel interference determinations to
determine channel quality, the noise value associated with the
respective channels is also determined as discussed in the
latter portion of column 6 of Hamabe. These values must
obviously be measured to the extent claimed as are the
measurement of all values determined as expressed at the
bottom of column 4 of Wang. The discussion at column 9
associated with Figure 8 of Wang also indicates that a signal-
to noise-ratio and interference ratios are discussed as a
measure of quality determinations in Wang. We are therefore
unpersuaded by the appellant's argument at page 9 of the brief
that Wang is not concerned with interference factors.
