Representative independent claim 22 is reproduced below:
22. A transmitter in a mobile radio network for producing a
transmission frame comprising an information area in the form of at least
one data field and at least one control field, said at least one control field
including substantially at the start of said information area a subfield
representative of the validity of data transmitted in said at least one data
field, said transmitter including means for multiplexing said at least one data
field and said at least one control field adapted to multiplex said subfield

The following references are relied on by the Examiner:
Wasilewski US 5,457,701 Oct. 10, 1995
(filed Jan. 6, 1994)
Appellants’ Admitted Prior Art
The earlier-noted claims on appeal all stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103. As evidence of obviousness, the Examiner relies upon Appellants’
Admitted Prior Art in view of Wasilewski.
Rather than repeat the positions of the Appellants and the Examiner,
reference is made to the Brief and Reply Brief for Appellants’ positions, and
to the Answer for the Examiner’s positions.
OPINION
For the reasons set forth by the Examiner in the Answer, as expanded
upon and modified here, we sustain the rejection of all claims on appeal
under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Among independent claims 22, 27, 32, 37, 43, and
49, Appellants appear to present arguments only as to independent claim 22
as representative of all claims on appeal.
