Appeal No. 1998-2608 Application 08/570,439 normal cellular based environment anyway. More specifically, as to the co-channel interference problems discussed in Hamabe, Ohteru specifically collects data to form an interference matrix in Figure 4 to be used within the memory element 7 of the control station 1 in Figure 1. Ohteru therefore complements the teachings of a database list as we outlined earlier in Hamabe, as well as the measurement of various types of signals with respect to co-channel interference determinations set forth in that reference as well. Hamabe, as indicated earlier in this opinion, deals with the relationship of co-channel interference problems and noise. Again, the focus of appellant's arguments with respect to the rejection of claims 2 and 6 relates to arguments which we have found unpersuasive earlier in this opinion, focusing chiefly upon the mobile cellular environment of Ohteru and Hamabe in contrast to the fixed subscriber station environment of Åkerberg. The addition of Wang to this combination of three references in the rejection of claims 7 through 10 buttresses the evidence of obviousness of claims 7, 8 and 10. It is not believed necessary for us to discuss further the details of 12Page: Previous 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
