with the relevant WCDMA standards, the iPhone 4 recovers
information that relates to gain information for excitation

Upon information and belief, the iPhone 4 demodulates the
radio signal to provide a recovered signal. As set forth above,
the iPhone 4 has an RF antenna, RF front end module, and
transceiver hardware and software for receiving a radio signal
that includes speech coded information in compliance with the

Upon information and belief, the iPhone 4 extracts at least one
parameter comprising a long term energy value in accordance
with T.S. 26.090. Specifically, for a given frame of
information, the iPhone 4 extracts a long term energy value,
Ẽ(n), using the following equation:

D) extracting from the

excitation component;
E) processing the excitation

information to provide a precomponent, which precomponent has an energy value;
See T.S. 26.090 at p. 41, § 6.1, Equation No. 66.
Upon information and belief, the iPhone 4 extracts excitation
component definition information for at least one excitation
component in accordance with T.S. 26.090. Specifically, to
obtain the algebraic codevector ("one excitation component"),
the iPhone 4 uses an algebraic codebook index to extract the
positions and amplitudes of the excitation pulses ("excitation
component definition information"). See T.S. 26.090, at p.
41, § 6.1, subsection 2 ("Decoding of the innovative codebook
vector: The received algebraic codebook index is used to
extract the positions and amplitudes (signs) of the excitation
pulses and to find the algebraic codevector c(n).").
Upon information and belief, the iPhone 4 processes the
excitation component definition information to provide a precomponent that has a pre-component energy value in
accordance with T.S. 26.090. Specifically, the iPhone 4
processes the extracted position and amplitude information of
the excitation pulses ("excitation component definition
information") to provide the algebraic codevector c(n) ("a precomponent"). See T.S. 26.090 at p. 41, § 6.1, subsection 2.
The energy value of the algebraic codevector c(n) is the mean
innovation energy value, Ei, and can be calculated by the
following equation:

See T.S. 26.090 at p. 41, § 6.1, Equation No. 67.
Upon information and belief, the iPhone 4 determines a gain
value that is proportional to the long term energy value and
inversely proportional to the pre-component energy value in
accordance with T.S. 26.090.
The quantified fixed codebook gain in the iPhone 4, ĝc, is
determined by the following equation: ĝc = γgc * g'c, where γgc
is the fixed codebook gain correction factor and g'c the
predicted gain value. See T.S. 26.090 at p. 41, § 6.1, Equation
No. 69.
In turn, the predicted gain value in the iPhone 4, g'c, is
determined by the following equation: g'c = 10 0.05(Ẽ(n) +Ē- Ei),
where Ẽ(n) is the long term energy value, and Ei is the energy
