DECISION ON APPEAL
A patent examiner rejected claims 1-18. The appellant appeals therefrom under
35 U.S.C. § 134(a). We reverse.
BACKGROUND
The appellant’s invention is a satellite communication (“SATCOM”) system
operating in a "mobile-to-mobile" mode in which mobile telephones communicate via a
satellite. In a typical SATCOM system operating in a mobile-to-mobile mode, mobile
telephones transmit communication signals at a first carrier bandwidth (e.g., 50 kHz)
and receive communication signals at a second carrier bandwidth (e.g., 200 kHz).
