telephone in Chia.” However, we are persuaded by the Examiner’s
argument that Tanaka teaches the use of calculating the use of
distance and time of crossing by a mobile unit to calculate the
absolute velocity of
the mobile unit, see pages 3, 5, and 7 of the English
translation
of Tanaka (a copy of the English translation is enclosed with
this decision). Therefore, we agree with the Examiner that it
would have been obvious to use the teachings of Tanaka regarding
the calculation of the absolute velocity of the mobile unit and
to use absolute velocity to change the handover from one type
of cell to another type of cell in Chia.
Regarding claims 18 and 19, the Examiner asserts, answer at
page 11, that “the use of velocity of movement is determined by
sensing the rate at which the radio telephone moves across cell
boundaries in a radio telephone system, is well known, as
evidence (sic) by Benveniste or Ivanov, et al or Kojima or
Ramsdale, et al. or Yamada or Mende and the Examiner takes
Official Notice as such, for the purpose of effectively
controlling the time interval of issuing handoff request.”
