Samsung Electronics’IMT-2000 Asynchronous Technology Adopted as
International Standard
(Seoul = Associated Press) Reported by Bum Soo Kim = Samsung Electronics announced on
March 20 that its ‘SMP’ technology, which is an IMT-2000 asynchronous connectivity mode
developed in-house, was adopted as the international standard technology at the 3GPP (3rd
Generation Project Group) meeting recently held by the International Telecommunication
Technology Association (TTA) at Shilla Hotel.
Samsung Electronics’ SMP (Symbol Mapping based on Priority) is a technology that minimizes
error caused by noise. Thus enabling implementation of high-speed data transmission.
Samsung Electronics said, “In the course of IMT-2000 standardization process, we have emerged
as a leader group company along with some other companies such as Qualcomm and Nokia,
which enables us to preemptively secure an advantageous position in the next generation mobile
communications business.”

삼성전자의 'SMP(Symbol Mapping based on Priority)'기술이 곧 국제통신연맹(ITU)의 국제
표준 규격으로 정식 채택될 예정이다.
삼성전자는 지난주 신라호텔에서 세계 20여개국 400여명의 정보통신 기술 관계자가 참석한
가운데 정보통신기술협회(TTA) 주관으로 열린 '3세대 프로젝트그룹(3GPP)'회의에서 삼성전
자의 'SMP'기술이 국제 IMT-2000 비동기식 기술규격 표준으로 최종 채택돼 국제 표준기술
이 됐다고 20일 발표했다.
이번에 국제 표준이 된 삼성전자의 'SMP'기술은 잡음에 의한 오차를 최소화함으로써 고속
데이터 전송이 가능한 기술로, IMT-2000 비동기 방식의 핵심기술이다. 이동통신 시스템과
단말기간의 통화 및 데이터 전송시 잡음을 줄임으로써 통신 품질을 향상시킬 뿐 아니라 더
많은 가입자들이 동시에 사용할 수 있다는 것.
삼성전자 관계자는 "삼성의 SMP기술은 신뢰도가 각기 다른 정보비트간의 상관관계를 분석
해 정보비트는 신뢰도가 높은 위치로 배열시키고 잉여비트는 상대적으로 신뢰도가 낮은 위
치에 배열시키는 방법으로 데이터 패킷의 전송 오류를 줄이는 기능을 한다"고 밝혔다.
한편, 삼성은 IMT-2000표준화 과정에서 다수의 표준을 확보함으로써 퀄컴, 노키아 등과 함
께 선두그룹의 위치에 올랐다.

삼성전자는 "국제 표준으로 채택된 기술력을 바탕으로 차세대 이동통신 사업에 유리한 고지
를 확보하게 됐을 뿐 아니라 상당한 기술 수입효과도 거둘 수 있을 것으로 기대한다"고 설명
했다.

Samsung Electronics’ Asynchronous IMT-2000 Technology Adopted as
International Standard Specification
Entered at15:32, September 20, 2002
[Exclusive] Developed a solar power Smartphone battery that “lasts 15 days with 1-time charge”
Soon, Samsung Electronics’SMP (Symbol Mapping based on Priority) technology is slated to be
formally adopted as an international standard specification of the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU).
The Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) held a ‘3rd Generation Project Group
(3GPP)’ meeting at Shilla Hotel last week with about 400 attendees in the field of information
communications technology from 20 or so countries. Samsung Electronics announced on March
20 that its own ‘SMP’ technology became an international standard technology after it was
finally selected as a standard specification for the IMT-2000 asynchronous technology at the
meeting.
Samsung Electronics’‘SMP’ technology which just became the international standard is the
technology that minimizes error caused by noise, thus enabling a high-speed data transmission. It
is the core asynchronous technology in the IMT-2000. This technology improves communication
quality by reducing noise during a telephone call between a mobile communications system and
a user terminal as well as during data transmission, and also supports a greater number of
concurrent users.
A person affiliated with Samsung Electronics says, “Samsung’s SMP technology analyzes the
correlation among the information bits with different degrees of reliability, thus arraying
"information bits" in a position of higher reliability, and arraying "excess bits" in a position of
lower reliability. This method plays a role of reducing data packet transmission error.”
Meanwhile, with its numerous technologies adopted as standards in the course of IMT-2000
standardization, Samsung emerged as one of the leading [standards] companies along with some
other companies such as Qualcomm and Nokia.
Samsung Electronics said, “We came to secure an advantageous position in the next generation
mobile communications business based on our technological prowess selected as international
standards. Also, we expect to gain considerable income associated with our technologies.”

DIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. BRIGGS:
4
Q.
Good morning, Dr. Gitlin.
5
A.
Good morning.
6
Q.
Can you state your name for the record?
7
A.
Richard Gitlin.
8
Q.
And where do you live?
9
A.
Just down the road in here, Tampa, 415 Knights
10
Run Avenue, Tampa.
11
Q.
Okay.
12
A.
We've -- this is my fourth academic year.
13
How long have you lived in Tampa?
We
also have a residence in New Jersey.
14
Q.
How long did you live in New Jersey?
15
A.
About 40 years.
16
Q.
How many times have you been deposed?
17
A.
As an expert or including as a fact witness?
18
Q.
How about both.
19
A.
Somewhere between 15 and 20.
20
Q.
How many times as an expert witness?
21
A.
This is probably about my 10th, 12th time.
22
Q.
When was the most recent deposition you had?
23
A.
I think this lady was handling my most recent
24
25
one.
That was in the spring of this year.
Q.
Okay.
And what case was that for?
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 11

respect to that HSDPA patent in the InterDigital versus
2
Samsung case?
3
4
5
6
A.
Similarly, that validity -- both sides, and
infringement.
Q.
So you wrote a report stating that or opining
that Samsung infringed that HSDPA patent?
7
A.
Yes.
8
Q.
And you also wrote a report opining that that
9
10
HSDA (sic) patent was valid?
A.
Yes.
There were, I mean, there were reports,
11
plural.
12
with supplementary reports and -- in that case.
13
then the cases were -- you know, the first case was
14
part -- was -- everything I did in the first case was
15
part of the second case.
16
seven or eight reports that I was the author of.
17
18
Q.
They were -- they went back and forth in this,
And
So by the end, I think I had
Do you -- do you remember the number of the
patent in that case, that you were working on?
19
A.
I -- I don't want to guess.
20
Q.
Okay.
21
A.
I'm sure you could find it out.
22
Q.
What did the technology in that case -- or in
23
24
25
No.
that patent involve, at a little bit lower level?
A.
It dealt with the control channel for HSDPA.
I can tell you a little more if you --
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 12
1
Q.
Yeah.
2
A.
It dealt with a -- the patent dealt with a
3
mechanism for signaling on the channel in a -- with a
4
minimum use of bits.
5
In fact now, when I teach my wireless course, I use that
6
as an example of a clever way to achieve a function.
It was a clever way of doing this.
7
Q.
Now, is HSDPA part of any standards?
8
A.
Yes.
9
Q.
What -- what standard or standards?
10
A.
Well, it's in the 3GPP family.
11
Q.
Okay.
12
that that patent was essential to the 3GPP standard?
13
14
15
16
17
18
Do you know if InterDigital believed
MR. KOLOVOS:
A.
Objection.
I believe that the -- that that -- that would
be a fair statement, yes.
Q.
So do you know what it means for a patent to be
essential to a standard?
A.
I think I have a rough understanding, not a
19
legal understanding, but a rough engineering
20
understanding, an expert witness understanding.
21
22
23
Q.
What's -- what's your understanding, you know,
as an expert witness?
A.
That to -- that to build a piece of equipment
24
that's compliant with the standard, you necessarily
25
infringe the patent.
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 13
1
Q.
Now, in your expert report in that case, did
2
you take that position that this patent was essential to
3
the 3GPP standard?
4
A.
Yes.
5
Q.
Have you ever done any work for Samsung?
6
A.
No.
7
Q.
Other than this case, have you ever done any
8
work for Apple?
9
A.
No.
10
Q.
So this is the first time you've been retained
11
by Apple?
12
A.
Yes.
13
Q.
Has Apple retained you only in its lawsuit
14
against Samsung, or are you also working in other cases
15
Apple has?
16
A.
17
Apple.
18
Q.
Have you ever done any work for HTC?
19
A.
No.

3
or encoder.
4
systematic bits, and P bits are the parity bits.
5
the S bits are the actual input to the channel encoder,
6
the output of the CRC generator.
And the 120 is the channel
Here it's a -- understood to be a turbo coder,
And it produces S bits, which are
And
7
And the parity bits are generated by the shift
8
registers inside the turbo encoder, shift registers and
9
other elements.
And the rate matcher is a -- is a
10
device which will either puncture or eliminate bits or
11
repeat bits to match the output rate to the available
12
transmission capacity.
13
Bless you.
14
The -- so an interleaver is a common device in
15
wireless systems because wireless -- most codes are
16
designed to provide very good performance in random
17
channel areas that are come -- that come randomly.
18
Wireless systems have a different property.
19
bursty errors.
20
you're moving and you are in a fade, when you have,
21
let's say, a low received signal level.
22
likely to make errors in a bunch, in a burst.
23
They have
And they have bursty errors because when
So you're more
And so an interleaver is a clever device that,
24
for example -- it could be done many ways, but similar
25
to what's described in the patent.
You read bits into
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 56
1
a -- you think of a matrix.
2
and you read -- and you read them alpha transmission in
3
a column.
4
whole column was errored, then viewed from the -- and it
5
in the first column, then at the receiver viewed from
6
the viewpoint of each row, you just have one bit in
7
error, and the code will be able to correct that.
8
That's the simple -- that's the very simple explanation.
9
The interleavers in -- in the patent are much more
10
11
You read bits into a row,
So, for example, if you had a burst where a
sophisticated than that.
And then the -- and so the -- the notion of the
12
interleaver is that from the viewpoint of the receiver,
13
which is not shown in Figure 1 -- this is a
14
transmitter -- is you -- you turn the phenomenon of a
15
physically bursty error mechanism in a wireless channel
16
to a -- as processed by the receiver, independent errors
17
spread out over a long time.
18
interleaved over time.
19
So the errors tend to be
And so -- and the bit stream at the output of
20
element 140 goes into a modulator.
21
that a mapper, bit mapper.
22
levels of modulation I described, this would be --
23
that's the first one.
24
use of the term.
25
call that a symbol mapper or a mapper, bit-to-symbol
And I would call
So that's -- in the three
And I think that's a nonstandard
I'd -- I would say most people would
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 57
1
mapping.
2
And then the -- as I said, the controller is
3
getting information as to the state of the channel and
4
will adjust the level of encoding, let's say rate
5
one-half, rate three-quarters, and/or the modulation of
6
the symbols that you use, let's say a 16 QAM signal
7
constellation or a 64 QAM signal constellation,
8
depending upon the quality of the transmission channel.
9
Q.
In -- in box 150, I -- I believe you just
10
testified that a bit stream enters that box, which is
11
labeled "Modulator."
12
A.
Uh-huh.
13
Q.
What is the output of the modulator?
14
A.
So -- so the -- as it says in paragraph 28, the
15
modulator can be either QPSK symbol, an 8PSK symbol, a
16
16 QAM symbol, or a 64 QAM symbol.
17
18
Q.
a bit stream, or is it an analog signal?
19
20
So is that output, is that digital data, is it
MR. KOLOVOS:
A.
What is it?
Objection.
Each -- for example, if you're using choice
21
three, 16 QAM, 4 bits come in.
22
It can be an X and Y number.
You can think of it as a
23
vector in the X and Y plane.
You can think of it as a
24
two couple.
25
scaling labels will be, you choose, plus or minus 1,
The output is a number.
It will have discrete values.
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
The typical
Page 58
1
plus or minus 3.
2
microvolts, depending upon the transmitter power.
3
That could be volts, millivolts,
So you asked before:
Is that digital?
4
it's discrete valued.
5
I say
You said one of those 16 discrete points.
6
Q.
There is the 16 discrete points.
Now, are those values you were just talking
7
about, are those used to modulate or alter a carrier
8
wave?
9
A.
If you recall my three levels of modulation,
10
you -- what's not -- it's not shown -- the rest of the
11
system is not shown here.
12
do, you would take the -- let's take 16 QAM.
13
take two of the bits, feed it to -- let's call it the
14
inphase rail, and two of the bits to the quadrature
15
rail.
16
second level of modulation, and you would -- so in that
17
16 QAM case, you would -- you would amplitude modulate a
18
pulse with either a level a plus 1, minus 1, plus 3,
19
minus 3.
20
pulse will define the bandwidth of the signal.
21
Typically these pulses belong to a family called raised
22
cosine.
23
But typically what you would
You would
Then you would use pulse amplitude modulation, my
And you amplitude modulate a pulse, and this
And so now what you've done -- and you do the
24
similar mechanism for the quadrature channel, and you
25
design what people in the art would call a "baseband
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 61
1
bits are segmented at the input to the modulator at
2
the -- let's say, if we look at case 16 QAM into 4 bit,
3
you group 4 bits at a time, and that produces a symbol.
4
That goes then to the second level of modulation, the
5
third level of modulation.
6
this goes on for -- you know, you're sending lots of
7
bits.
8
and you're sending lots of bits, lots of symbols.
9
10
11
And you -- you -- generally
Q.
You may -- it depends upon a particular system,
Okay.
So you said that the output of the
mapper is a modulated pattern?
A.
Yeah.
That's -- that's Apple's construction.
12
It's consistent with what's used in the -- as it says
13
in -- on page 12, fifty -- paragraph 56, the independent
14
claims 1 and 6 each recite the mapping, the collected
15
bits from the first interleaver and second
16
interleaver -- that's referring out to, I guess, not
17
Figure 1, but it's the same idea -- onto one modulation
18
symbol.
19
Q.
That's what the patent describes it.
So what is -- I'm trying to get an idea of what
20
this modulated pattern is that you're talking about that
21
is output from the mapper.
22
23
24
25
Is -- is this modulated pattern, are these -is this a bit stream?
A.
It's -- for 16 QAM, you would -- you could --
it -- now, it depends upon implementation, how you're
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 62
1
going to implement it.
2
or symbolically, you could think of it in the XY plane
3
or IQ plane as a vector or a point.
4
one of the 16 discrete constellation points associated
5
with 16 QAM constellation.
6
And then you separately divide it, as I said, to get the
7
level -- level 2 pulse amplitude modulation, which then
8
leads to level 3 RF modulation.
9
Q.
But you -- you -- functionally
And that represents
That's what the output is.
So in the case of 16 QAM, if you're looking at
10
the constellation, would -- would you call one of the
11
points in the constellation a modulated pattern?
12
A.
That's -- well, that's a symbol.
Yeah.
That's
13
what -- that's what Apple's construction is, and a --
14
using the language of the pattern -- of the patent.
15
you -- you typically, in a laboratory, would have that
16
displayed.
17
slow down time, you would see discretely points, one of
18
those 16 points being illuminated.
19
modulated pattern or a mapped pattern of bits.
20
So
And you -- you would see various -- if you'd
And that's a
So the symbol is a mapped pattern of bits.
21
map 4 bits into this XY two-topper or vector.
22
You
what a symbol is.
23
Q.
Okay.
That's
So when you use the term "pattern,"
24
that's referring to the pattern of bits that are input
25
into the mapper?
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 63
1
A.
Yes.
2
Q.
Okay.
That's where I was getting confused.
3
didn't -- I didn't understand what "pattern" meant in
4
I
"modulated pattern."
5
So you're referring to, you know, in the case
6
of 16 QAM, the 4 bits that are coming into the mapper,
7
that would be the pattern that's modulated?
8
A.
That would be the bit pattern, yeah.
9
Q.
And so if a bit stream were going into a
10
mapper, the first 4 bits would map to -- would be a
11
pattern that maps to one symbol, the second 4 bits would
12
be a pattern that maps to another symbol?
13
A.
Well, it could be a very same symbol point.
14
You got 16 points.
15
would map to the same point.
If it's the same quartet of bits, it
16
Q.
Okay.
Well, let's assume they're all unique.
17
A.
Right.
They can only be unique -- after --
18
19
20
after 16, you got to hit the same spot.
Q.
But -- well, let's take an example where the
bit stream is 12 bits and you have four unique quartets.
21
A.
That's --
22
Q.
Or three, three unique quartets.
23
A.
Okay.
24
Q.
So the first pattern would map to one symbol,
25
the second pattern would map to a second symbol?
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 64
1
A.
Yeah.
2
Q.
And the third pattern would map to a third
3
symbol?
4
A.
Yeah.
5
Q.
Now, why in -- in Figure 1 do you believe that
6
the output is -- well, strike that.
7
Why do you believe in Figure 1 that the
8
modulator does not include the pulse amplitude
9
modulation or the RF modulation?
10
A.
I was just looking at the abstract of the
11
patent, but I'll -- I'll define the reference in the --
12
in the spec.
13
Well, if I look in column 2, I'm looking sort
14
of, you know, starting at around 40 and ending at 53.
15
You got to get down to the bottom.
16
adaptively select one of the modulation techniques
17
according to the radio department."
18
The -- "in order to
I mean, there's no discussion of my second
19
level of modulation.
20
there's no pulse shaping involved.
21
discussion of carrier frequency.
22
since this is part of HSDPA, there is a standard.
23
could assume that.
24
25
There's no, as far as I can tell,
There's certainly no
But the -- certainly,
One
So, I mean, I just -- that's all -- that's all
that I see in the patent, and that's all that's -- are
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 92
1
modulator 280, in Figure 3, it outputs a modulated
2
pattern?
3
A.
One of 16 QAM points.
4
Q.
Now, is the output of the modulator, is that
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
4 bits, or what -- what is the output?
A.
It's -- it's a four -- it's a symbol that is
one of the 16 points in the QAM, in the XY plane.
Q.
But for it to appear like that, it has to go
through the pulse -- the PAM and the RF modulation,
correct?
A.
No.
You take -- you take 4 bits.
You put it
12
into a lookup table, and it gives you a complex number
13
or an I and Q number.
14
can discuss that -- you can represent that in the signal
15
constellation in the IQ plane or the XY plane as a
16
signal point.
17
QAM here, but.
18
Q.
Okay.
And you can just put that -- you
It's understood.
There's no figure of 16
So going back to what a modulated
19
pattern is, in the case of 16 QAM, you would -- you
20
would say that a modulating -- a modulated pattern is
21
one of the points in the constellation?
22
A.
One of the 16 points.
23
Q.
One of the 16 points in the constellation.
24
A.
And there are various ways to represent that,

or as a vector.
Q.
So would you agree that you could also call
that same point a "modulated signal"?
4
A.
No.
5
Q.
Why not?
6
A.
Okay.
To me -- and I see that Dr. Wessel uses
7
that term -- a signal in general has a notion of
8
bandwidth associated with it.
9
a number.
10
That symbol coming out is
Numbers don't have bandwidth.
Now, as he points to my textbook, when you --
11
when you start out pedagogically and you're teaching
12
students about statistical decision theory, you
13
generally start with, are you sending signal one or
14
signal two.
15
symbol, one signal.
16
can interchange the terms.
17
So you're sending, let's say, 1 bit, one
So in that pedagogical case, you
But in -- understanding of those skilled in the
18
art, a particular symbol as I'm talking about is a
19
number.
20
just a number.
21
that -- people wouldn't call that "signal."
22
It could be a complex number, I and Q.
It's
It doesn't -- you can't associate
So what would people call a signal?
People
23
would call a signal, after you have a sequence of these
24
symbols -- oh, let's say -- let's say -- let's say you
25
wanted to send, in a real signal, just one -- in a real
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 94
1
system, I want to get one symbol from me to you.
2
take that one symbol.
3
Now it has a bandwidth.
4
and you receive it.
5
signal is that composite where I can say it has --
6
exists for time and has a bandwidth.
7
So I
I pulse amplitude modulate it.
And I put it in an RF carrier
So I've sent one symbol, but the
A symbol is just a number.
But in actuality,
8
you send a plurality of such symbols in time, and the
9
composite is called a signal.
10
11
12
13
Q.
answer.
A.
So I think you said something in your last
I thought you said a symbol is just a number?
Yes, I think that's what I said, a complex
number.
14
Q.
Okay.
15
A.
Or an I and Q number, X and Y.
That's --
16
that's how someone of ordinary skill would interpret
17
that.
18
Q.
And what would that number represent?
19
A.
Well, it just -- in the language of the patent
20
in the more generally, if a 16 QAM, it would -- it would
21
have an association with 4 bits.
22
what symbol point, and I could tell you which 4 bits
23
you're -- depends if you're the transmitter or the
24
receiver -- what you're transmitting or what you believe
25
you received.
You -- you tell me
There's a one-to-one mapping.
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 95

3
Q.
Now, you would agree that your textbook and
other sources refer to symbols as signals?
A.
Under -- as I -- as I said in my testimony
4
which I just gave, that -- I believe the only time that
5
I did that in my book would be in a pedagogical sense
6
when you're sending one symbol.
7
it's pedagogical to teach students about statistical
8
decision theory, hypothesis testing, maximum likelihood
9
detection.
10
So therefore -- and
So you're sending one signal, and there it's
sending one symbol, and the terms are loosely used.
11
But no one of ordinary -- no one of skill in
12
the art would say, "I give you a symbol, a 16 QAM
13
symbol, a 64 -- a 64 QAM symbol," and say that's a
14
signal.
15
I don't know.
16
Q.
What's its bandwidth?
How long does it last?
In your -- in your book or any other references
17
outside of the patent that you've seen, have you ever
18
seen a symbol referred to as a modulated pattern?
19
20
MR. KOLOVOS:
A.
Objection.
The -- certainly I don't think I used that in
21
my book.
22
this is consistent with, as I said, the unusual use of
23
the term for element 280 as a modulator.
24
people would call that a mapper.
25
word "mapper," so that -- that would be a map pattern.
I don't recall seeing any references.
But
I think most
And if you use the
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 96
1
I think in my book I have the -- I did take a look.
2
use the word "pattern" for bit pattern.
3
used the word "mapper."
4
I
And I'm sure I
And it would be clear -- I mean -- you know,
5
and also in these books -- mine is a graduate-level text
6
when I was a faculty member.
7
Bell Labs in 2001, I taught at Columbia University for a
8
couple years.
9
still use my book.
When I retired from
So this was a Ph.D. level course.
Now it's 20 years old.
10
it -- this were is Ph.D. students.
11
wasn't necessary to define the term.
12
They
But, I mean,
used in the context.
13
Q.
You didn't -- it
You defined it
Have you ever seen in any extrinsic source or
14
any source outside of the patent the output of a mapper
15
being referred to as a modulated pattern?
16
A.
Again, mapper.
Well, if you -- if you have a
17
mapper, you would say it's the -- it's the output of the
18
mapper, you know.
19
standards have, you know, a signal or mapping table.
20
Q.
Okay.
You have -- that's -- and most
So I guess, in summary, you haven't seen
21
any -- anything in the patent or anything in any other
22
sources that describe a symbol as a modulated pattern?
23
24
25
MR. KOLOVOS:
A.
Objection; asked and answered.
Well, I disagree.
I mean, as I said, if you
look at Figure 3, the input is an input bit pattern, it
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 97
1
goes to a modulator.
2
a modulated pattern at the output.
3
So in plane English, that would be
I think that the claim construction is
4
informative more for "symbol" because that's the way
5
it's used in the patent.
6
that way, you might be confused when you -- you could be
7
confused when you read that term, because I would say,
8
to turn it around like you were suggesting but which I
9
disagreed with, that modulator could have all three
In fact, if you didn't do it
10
levels of modulation, but clearly it only has the first
11
level, and it uses it in an unconventional way.
12
think it's wise that Apple use the language of the -- of
13
the patent to clarify "symbol."
14
Q.
So I
Let me ask it one more time.
15
You have not seen anything, either in the
16
patent or in any other sources, textbooks, treatises,
17
papers, that describe a symbol as a modulated pattern,
18
correct?
19
20
MR. KOLOVOS:
A.
Same objection.
I -- sitting here today, I can't recall the
21
hundreds of thousands of papers that I've read, you
22
know.
23
done that in Google Scholar.
24
I'm not going to agree with you to that statement
25
because, you know, my memory is not that good.
We can put it into Google search.
I -- I haven't
So I can't -- you know,
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 98
1
Q.
But sitting here today, you can't identify the
2
use of "symbol" in any of these -- in any source where
3
"symbol" is defined as a modulated pattern?
4
MR. KOLOVOS:
Same objection.
5
Q.
Correct?
6
A.
In any extrinsic?
You know, I -- I -- I -- I
7

10
thousands, of papers in my 40-year career that I've
11
I
read, things that I've written, you know.
12
It's just simply that the use of the word for
13
element 280 modulator is, to me, nonstandard in mapping.
14
So, you know, it's a symbol.
15
pretty common as to what you're doing.

Let me -- let me try one more time.
Sitting here today, you cannot identify any
20
source, any paper, treatise, book, anything that defines
21
a symbol as a modulated pattern; isn't that correct?
22
23
MR. KOLOVOS:
A.
Objection.
I -- I haven't tried to.
So, you know, if that
24
was an exercise that I was asked to do, I would go about

3
Q.
But you would agree to me -- with me that

today you haven't identified in your declaration, and

BY MR. BRIGGS:
Q.
Dr. Gitlin, Apple's construction of "symbol"
8
has an interpretation of a modulated pattern in -- well,
9
strike that.
10
11
Apple's construction requires a symbol to be in
a sequence of such patterns.
12
A.
Yes.
13
Q.
Okay.
Do you see that?
Now, would you agree with me that a
14
symbol does not necessarily need to be in a sequence of
15
symbols?
16
A.
Yes.
17
Q.
Okay.
You can send one symbol.
So in defining "symbol," why do you
18
think it's proper to require that the symbol appear in a
19
sequence of symbols?
20
A.
Well, I think it's -- it's informative because
21
in these type of wireless and communication systems you
22
generally send a sequence of symbols.
23
24
25
Q.
But are you saying that the claim is actually
limited to sending a sequence of symbols?
MR. KOLOVOS:
Objection.
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 101
1
A.
You mean claim 11?
2
Q.
Yeah, claim 11.
3
A.
Well, I mean, an apparatus for receiving data
4
in the communication system comprising.
5
understood of someone in skill in the art that a
6
communication system, almost every system that I'm
7
familiar with, sends a sequence of symbols.
8
9
Q.
So it would be
But other than your understanding of what
somebody with skill in the art would believe, is there
10
anything in the claim language that you can point to
11
that requires a sequence of symbols to be sent?
12
A.
Well, I think it -- for example, if you look --
13
it's understood from the spec.
14
Figure 5, for example.
So look at the 64 QAM case, they
15
show you five symbols.
And --
16
Q.
So that was Figure?
17
A.
5.
18
Q.
5.
19
A.
Yeah.
So if you look at
So it shows five symbols under 64 QAM?
And it -- yes.
And there's a reason for
20
it, yeah, as I'm sure you're familiar with in the text.
21
But it's illustrative that -- that you're going to --
22
generally -- in this case, it's to accommodate some
23
limitation in memory.
24
have -- I think even in Figure 4 it shows for 64 QAM two
25
symbols.
But you're -- you're going to
But I think it's understood by -- when you say
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 113
1
I call level-one modulation, and can only talk about
2
level-one, what it calls, demodulation.
3
level-one mapping and level-one unmapping or demapping.
4
5
Q.
Okay.
So I'll call it
So you're disagreeing with how the
patent uses the terms "signal" and "symbol" here?
6
MR. KOLOVOS:
Objection.
7
A.
I'd like to read the patent in the column 21.
8
Q.
Okay.
9
A.
Yeah, I'm disagreeing.
I mean, if I look at
10
Figure 17, it -- it clearly shows that there's a signal
11
sample coming in.
12
And it's the -- the --
It's not clear at that point if the signal, the
13
received signal sample, has been -- was -- has been
14
resolved to one of 16 QAM points.
15
So there is some ambiguity.
16
simply going from one of 16 -- it's a demapper -- one of
17
16 points to a 4-bit pattern.
18
pattern has then split the stuff that's going to the
19
systematic deinterleaver and the parity deinterleaver.
20
Q.
Okay.
You don't see that.
But the demodulator is
And then that 4-bit
So I -- I guess the answer to my
21
question is, yes, you do disagree with how the patent
22
describes the received signal as being a symbol?
23
MR. KOLOVOS:
I object to the form.
24
Mischaracterizes both his testimony and what the
25
patent says.
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 114
1
A.
So the -- at the receiver you -- you have a
2
series of wave forms or samples, and those are proper to
3
refer to that as "signal" or "signal samples."
4
only, you know, when you're making a decision and
5
saying, "Which of the 16 constellation points or symbols
6
do you think has been transmitted," are you back into a
7
symbol.
8
never the case --
9
It's
So, you know, there is -- there is a -- it's
You're -- you're taking a received signal
10
sample, and you're mapping it through -- through some
11
decision device into one of these 16 points.
12
have a decision as to what you think the received --
13
what the symbol -- what you think what symbol was
14
transmitted.
15
is, I think, as I said, a poor choice of English, it
16
would be a demapper.
17
Q.
18
19
And you go through this demodulator which

23
modulate it to a symbol.
24
and then you RFO modulate it.
25
is called a signal.
You -- you -- you generate a transmitted
You take a bit
You amplitude modulate PAM,
And that whole composite
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 115

2
So yes, that's the way you transmit symbols
or --
3
Q.
Okay.
4
A.
Symbols are inside a -- if you look inside the
So symbols are transmitted wirelessly?
5

6
look -- if you look at the airplane, it's a signal.
7
what goes on the air is referred to as a signal.
If you look -- if you

Q.
And the signal contains symbols, correct?
9
A.
Yes.
10
Q.
And
So symbols are transmitted in a signal, and
11
12
symbols are received in a signal?
A.
The receiver operation is more complicated.
13
you -- the patent doesn't describe any of the
14
operations, other than these what I'll call
15
demodulated -- it's called demodulating or
16
So
demultiplexing.
17
And it -- so you receive a signal and you --
18
you undo the modulation through carrier frequency.
19
There are some other parameters in there.

the word.
7
What Apple, the construction says, a modulator
8
that is a map pattern.
9
and a pattern of bits and modulating it, using the
10
So that's taking a group of bits
terminology of the patent.
11
So as I've said many times, in 16 QAM you take
12
4 bits, and you produce one of those 16 constellation
13
points.
14
So -- so the demodulator is acting in an
15
ordinary fashion to convert or -- this is -- you have
16
a -- at the --
17
The way demodulator is used here is a demapper.
18
You already decided, for whatever receiver mechanism you
19
had, that the input of the demodulator is one of
20
16 points.
21
into -- one of those 16 points into 4 bits.
22
that's -- you know.
23
So the demodulator is simply a demapper

Dr. Gitlin, can you turn back to page 5 of

18
So I wanted to ask you some more questions
19
about Samsung's alternative construction.
20
talked about the first part that says a "modulated
21
signal," and you disagreed that that was correct.
22
23
We just
Now I want to ask you if you disagree with the
remainder of that proposed construction, which states --
24
A.
How would you parse it?
25
Q.
Well, that part says that a symbol represents a
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
Page 121
1
number of bits specified according to the modulation
2
technique.
3
I mean, would you agree that a symbol
4
represents a number of bits specified according to a
5
modulation technique?
6
A.
Yes.
7
Q.
Okay.
So your real issue with Samsung's
8
proposed construction is the portion that states "a
9
modulated signal"?
10
A.
Yes.
11
Q.
And you don't agree that it's a signal; you
12
13
believe it's a modulated pattern?
A.
Yes.
And that -- that language is what -- the
14
way the patent refers the use of the word "modulator."
15
I mean, as I said many times, I'm -- every time I'm
16
seeing that "modulator," I'm saying "mapper," because
17
that's the language that I'm familiar with, a bit
18
mapper.
19
excuse me.
20
Q.
21
22
23
24
25
You map bits into the signal -- to a symbol,
Yeah, we've got a lot of tongue twisters today.

of your declaration.
14
You make a statement in the middle of this
15
paragraph that it would be -- you state, "It would be
16
incorrect to refer to the entire sequence as a single
17
symbol.
18
a signal representative data would be incorrect because

it would fail to distinguish between a single symbol and

today?
16
A
Good, thank you.
17
Q
My name is Victoria Maroulis and I will be
18
Good morning, Mr. Givargis.
How are you
asking you some questions today.
19
Have you ever been deposed before?
20
A
No.
21
Q
In that case let me briefly run you through
22
23
the rules of the deposition.
First of all, do you understand that you
24
are testifying today like you would be in a court of
25
law under oath even though we're sitting in a

publisher that I recognized or they were -- if they
2
were references on the website, that they were
3
credible and they were published in a place that I
4
would consider reasonable.
5
Q
Did counsel for Apple instruct you where to
6
search, what types of publications to search for
7
extrinsic evidence?
8
MR. SHAH:
9
Object to the extent it calls for
privileged communication, but you can answer it.
10
THE WITNESS:
11
MR. SHAH:
12
the communication.
13
Q
Not necessarily.
They told me --
Again, just a caution on substance of
BY MS. MAROULIS:
Let me help you out.
I
14
don't want to ask you what you spoke with them
15
about, my question is whether you were the one who
16
selected the extrinsic evidence in your declaration
17
or it was provided by counsel.
18
19
20
A
Absolutely, yes, I understand.
I selected
all of those.
Q
In your search for a definition of "applet"
21
in extrinsic sources have you come across any
22
definitions that did not support your opinion?
23
A
Yes, I did.
24
Q
Can you give me examples of those?
25
A
One example of those was Microsoft's
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 30
1
control panel applet which is -- which was a very
2
sort of exceptional use of the term "applet," a very
3
limited in terms of how widely the term "applet" is
4
used and how Microsoft was using it in that context.
5
That was one example.
6
7
Q
term "applet" exceptional?
8
9
Why do you consider Microsoft's use of the
A
Yes.
Most applets are usually considered
to be Java applets and/or similar to Java, Java,
10
sort of Java-like applets in the sense that they are
11
interpreted, they are an application or an app
12
running within an application.
13
The Microsoft control panel applets are
14
executable codes, they're actually dynamically-
15
linked libraries that do not require interpretation,
16
they run directly on the processor.
17
Q
18
applets.
19
You said that most applets are Java
There are any applets that are not Java
ones?
20
A
Yes, a number of them.
21
Q
Can you list them, please?
22
A
Yes.
For example, there are Python
23
applets, there are AppleScript applets, there are
24
JavaScript applets, there are applets in the context
25
of Flash, the Flash programming environment.
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 31
1
Q
So if a colleague came up to you and said
2
they're writing an applet you would not necessarily
3
know which one of those languages they were writing
4
it in?
5
A
6
MR. SHAH:
I would automatically assume -Just give me a second.
7
Objection; vague.
8
You can answer if you understand the
9
10
question.
THE WITNESS:
Yes, I would -- I would assume
11
Java applets because those are the most common types
12
of applets.
13
Q
14
BY MS. MAROULIS:
But they're not
exclusive, correct?
15
A
Correct.
16
Q
Besides the reason you stated about why
17
Microsoft was exceptional in use of applets, is
18
there any other reason why you did not pick the
19
Microsoft definition for your declaration?
20
MR. SHAH:
Object to form.
21
THE WITNESS:
Yes.
I felt that that represented
22
a very small percentage of all of the applets that
23
or all of the kinds of applets and it would not be
24
the usual or the common understanding of the term
25
"applet."

Q
BY MS. MAROULIS:
Do you agree that at
2
least some people in the programming community when
3
they hear the word "applet" can think of a Microsoft
4
control panel applet?
5
A
Some, yes.
6
Q
And do you agree that was the case in 2005
7
as well?
8
A
Yes.
9
Q
Besides coming across the Microsoft control
10
panel applet, did you see any other definition of
11
"applets" in your research that diverged from the
12
one you picked for your declaration?
13
MR. SHAH:
14
THE WITNESS:
15
Q
16
17
18
19
Objection; vague.
No.
BY MS. MAROULIS:
Did you see any
definition of AppleScript applets?
A
I first came to -- to see AppleScript
applets when I read Mr. Cole's declaration.
Q
And upon reading Mr. Cole's declaration did
20
it remind you that there were in fact AppleScript
21
applets back in 2005?
22
A
Yes, that is correct.
23
Q
And in your research did you come across
24
25
the Python applets?
A
I was aware of Python applets but I did not
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 33
1
2
3
necessarily come across a writing or a textbook.
Q
Is it correct that Python applets existed
in 2005?
4
A
Yes, that is correct.
5
Q
In your research did you come across Flash
6
7
program applets?
A
I was very well aware of Flash applets but
8
I did not find or obtain or look for documents
9
describing Flash applets.
10
11
Q
You are aware they existed in 2005 as well,
correct?
12
A
Yes.
13
Q
Are you familiar with Linux applets?
14
A
I am not.
15
Q
Let's turn to your declaration on Page 5.
16
What is the invention of the '711 patent?
17
MR. SHAH:
Objection; vague.
18
THE WITNESS:
I can summarize the '711 patent as
19
being a method or a teaching of how to accommodate
20
multitasking on a mobile device.
21
22
Q
BY MS. MAROULIS:
Is there any reference to
Java in this patent?
23
A
May I take a look?
24
Q
Absolutely.

A
No.

No, there is not.

If you recall, is there any reference to

MR. SHAH:
If you need to review any documents,
11
you can ask for them.

you Exhibit 5.

You don't remember reviewing the whole

thing?
2
A
Not the entire thing, no.
3
Q
How did you decide what portions of that
4
file history to review?
5
A
The file history was provided to me by the
6
attorneys.
7
Q
The file history that you see before you is
8
double-sided, so do you remember giving me documents
9
that is this thick or thicker or was it a smaller
10
document?
11
A
I recall a smaller document.
12
MS. MAROULIS:
Counsel, I would appreciate
13
seeing the version of the file history that was
14
provided to the witness.
15
MR. SHAH:
I can represent that we provided the
16
certified file history.
17
MS. MAROULIS:
18
MR. SHAH:
19
MS. MAROULIS.
20
Q
The entire file history?
We did.
Via PDF file, not via paper.
BY MS. MAROULIS:
This is not a memory
21
test, but do you recall any references to Java in
22
the context of applets in the file history?
23
24
25
A
There was absolutely no reference to Java
in the file history that I reviewed.
Q
Was there any reference to applet being
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 36

2
operating-systems independent?
A
I do not recall any reference to operating-
3
system-independent applets in the file history that
4
I reviewed.
5
Q
Turning back to Exhibit 2 which is the
6
patent-in-suit, is it correct, sir, that there's
7
only one place where applets are mentioned in the
8
patent?
9
10
A
There is only one place in the
specification that refers to patents.
11
Q
Thank you.
12
A
And to applet.
13
Q
Thank you for correcting me.
14
specification.
15
16
I did mean
And is it correct, sir, that that place in
the specification is Column 3, Lines 8 through 14?
17
A
Yes, that is correct.
18
Q
This passage does not mention Java as well,
19
correct?
20
A
That is correct.
21
Q
And it does not mention operating-systems
22
independent.
23
A
That is correct, yes.
24
Q
Why do you cite this passage to support
25
your definition in your declaration?
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 37
1
A
Yes.
The important element of this passage
2
is the part that says at least one applet within an
3
application model -- module or in each of the
4
application modules, and that relationship of an
5
applet within an application module or in the
6
context of an application module is relevant to my
7
understanding and definition of applets being
8
interpreted by a host application module.
9
Q
Where do you see the word "within," sir?
10
A
There is no "within" in this, in this
11
particular text.
12
Q
Okay.
13
A
There's an association, yes.
14
Q
Can you explain how you read this last
15
16
sentence to support your definition.
A
"Application modules of the portable
17
terminal include at least one applet and each of the
18
application modules, that is each menu of the
19
portable terminal, independently performs multi-
20
tasking."
21
So as I interpret it, the applets run
22
within or execute within an application module or
23
execute in the context of an application module.
24
25
Q
Do you draw a distinction between
"application module" and "program"?
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 39
1
2
operating-system independent?
A
This passage does not make reference to
3
operating-system independent.
4
association between an applet and an application
5
module, together with the claim language and the
6
prosecution, the file history, does suggest to me
7
that the applet requires the application module as
8
a, sort of as a context, and that relationship is
9
what one would expect from Java applets or Java-like
10
11
However, the
applets, that interpreted.
Q
Setting aside the claim language and
12
prosecution history, is it correct that there's
13
nothing in this particular passage that indicates
14
operating-system independence?
15
16
17
18
A
Nothing in the passage mentions anything
about being operating-system independent, yes.
Q
Let's take a look at the claim language.
For example, Claim 1 in Column 7, do you see that?
19
A
Yes.
20
Q
The relevant limitation is "Generating a
21
music background play object, wherein the music
22
background play object includes an application
23
module including at least one applet."
24
25
Is there any mention of operating-system
independence here?
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 40
1
A
No.
2
Q
Is there anything in this claim that you
3
see that supports your notion of operating-system
4
independence?
5
A
What I see in this sentence, passage, is,
6
again, the association between an applet running or
7
an applet that is within an application module and
8
that association to me suggests a Java-like
9
interpreted environment.
10
11
Q
Did you review the testimony of the
inventor of this patent?
12
A
Yes.
I reviewed a subset of it.
13
Q
Did you see that the inventor who was
14
developing this technology was working with system-
15
dependent applets?
16
A
That is correct, yes.
17
Q
Which system-dependent applets was he
18
19
20
21
working with, to your understanding?
MR. SHAH:
If you need to see any documents to
refresh your recollection, you can ask.
THE WITNESS:
Yes.
I think this one I can
22
answer without the document, but it was a Qualcomm
23
chipset.
24
25
Q
BY MS. MAROULIS:
Do you disagree that the
technology he was working on is described by Claim
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 41
1
1?
2
MR. SHAH:
Object to the extent it calls for a
3
legal conclusion.
4
THE WITNESS:
5
6
I have not formed that position
yet.
Q
BY MS. MAROULIS:
Do you understand that he
7
was asked during deposition about the embodiments of
8
the patent?
9
10
MR. SHAH:
Same objection.
THE WITNESS:
11
Q
I'm not sure exactly what he
was asked.
12
Yes.
BY MS. MAROULIS:
If the technology that he
13
was working on embodies this claim would you agree
14
with me that the claim includes applets that are
15
also system dependent?
16
MR. SHAH:
Same objection.
17
THE WITNESS:
Based on -- I recognize that the
18
inventor was working with a system that was
19
OS-dependent, specifically the Qualcom chipset.
20
However, that use of the term "applet" within that
21
context was unusual or it was not consistent with
22
the common understanding of the term "applet" at the
23
time and the '711 patent does not make that
24
distinction clear.
25
Q
BY MS. MAROULIS:
If the '711 patent does

The time is 9:59 a.m. and we
BY MS. MAROULIS:
6
Q
Mr. Givargis, before the break we were
7
discussing the '711 patent.
Other than the
8
"specification," quote, we discussed and the coding
9
language, there's no other portion of the '711
10
patent that you are relying on in your declaration,
11
correct?
12
A
I believe so, yes.
13
MS. MAROULIS:
I would like to now switch to the
14
prosecution history which is Exhibit 5 and, for the
15
record, the document control numbers are
16
SAMNDCA00007840 through 8459.
17
18
19
Q
What is your understanding, sir, of what a
file history is?
A
Yes.
It has three components, some of it
20
are identifying information or titles of various
21
documents and so on.
22
which is sort of the examiner's rejections and a
23
description of why those rejections are followed by
24
a response to the office action which comes from the
25
applicant in response to the rejections.
Then it has another component

are you relying on in your declaration?

What particular portions of this document
MR. SHAH:
Look at your declaration if you need
to.
THE WITNESS:
Yes.
May I look at my
6
declaration?
7
Q
BY MS. MAROULIS:
8
A
Yes.
Yes.
I'm relying on the examiner's
9
suggestion that the phrase "a music background play
10
object" will be -- will be augmented with "the music
11
background play objects including an application
12
module includes at least one applet" to distinguish
13
it from the Kokubo patent."

Q
Are you reviewing to the interview with the
examiner on December 8, 2009?
16
A
Yes.
17
Q
If you would like you can turn to Pages

interview that we have been talking about?
MR. SHAH:
Objection.
The document speaks for
itself.
24
THE WITNESS:

interview that is consistent with the passage I have

been relying on, yes.

interview?
8

text, yes.

Q
And the --
14
A
Surrounding it.

Q
And the followup filings by the applicants.
16
A
Correct.
17
Q
Is there anything in this interview summary
18
This summary and some of the additional
that mentions Java?
19
A
No, there is not.
20
Q
And is there anything in this summary that
21
22
23
mentions applet being system independent?
MR. SHAH:
Objection.
The document speaks for
itself.

No, there is not.
