Appeal No. 2004-0925
Application 09/204,734
THE REJECTION
Claims 1, 5, 7-9, 12, 16, 18-20, 23, 27 and 29-31 stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by
Bruckert.
OPINION
We affirm the aforementioned rejection.
The appellant states that the claims stand or fall together
(brief, page 3). We therefore limit our discussion to one claim,
i.e., claim 1. See In re Ochiai, 71 F.3d 1565, 1566 n.2,
37 USPQ2d 1127, 1129 n.2 (Fed. Cir. 1995); 37 CFR
§ 1.192(c)(7)(1997).
Bruckert discloses a method for processing spread spectrum
signals from a plurality of traffic channels and a plurality of
pilot channels (col. 5, lines 50-54; col. 8, line 21). Traffic
signals and pilot signals are received using rake fingers and are
despread (col. 8, line 65 - col. 9, line 6). Factors Yj are
formed which correspond to the relative power of the traffic and
pilot signals (col. 9, lines 63-65). The pilot despread values
(p1, p2, p3) are multiplied by factors Yj and the result is used
