             Application No. 09/026,936                                                                               


                    Appellant's invention relates to a multi-channel communication system for                         
             wireless local loop communication.  An understanding of the invention can be derived                     
             from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which is reproduced below.                                          
                           1.     A method of conducting radio communication in a wireless                            
                    local loop communication system including a plurality of fixed access units                       
                    in radio communication with an array of radio fixed parts, comprising the                         
                    steps of:                                                                                         
                           utilizing a plurality of radio channels divided into a predetermined                       
                    number of synchronized time slots;                                                                
                           conducting radio communication between an activated fixed access                           
                    unit and an activated radio fixed part during a chosen time slot on an                            
                    assigned radio channel; and                                                                       
                           denying radio communication on said assigned radio channel                                 
                    during said chosen time slot in a controlled number of radio fixed parts                          
                    surrounding said activated radio fixed parts.                                                     

                    The prior art of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the appealed                     
             claims is as follows:
