          Appeal No. 1999-1515                                                        
          Application No. 08/451,719                                                  


               Turning to a consideration of independent claim 30, and                
          its dependent claims 31 and 32, directed to the feature of                  
          preventing establishment of a communication link over at least              
          one channel on determination of departure of a mobile terminal              
          from a “steady state” zone, we do not sustain the Examiner’s                
          obviousness rejection of these claims as well.  We agree with               
          Appellants (Brief, page 9) that this aspect of this invention,              
          which reserves at least one channel so that it can be used for              
          possible call “hand-off,” is not taught or suggested by any of              
          the applied prior art references.
