. A remote communication device for operation in a bidirectional communication system, the device comprising: Apple iPhone 4 The Apple iPhone 4 includes Wi-Fi connectivity that conforms to the IEEE 802.11 standards, in particular, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. Exhibit 14A, iPhone Technical Specification, http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html (retrieved July 27, 2011). IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g are all different aspects specified in the standard IEEE 802.112007 (Exhibit 14B), whereas IEEE 802.11n is specified in IEEE 802.11n-2009 (Exhibit 14C) as an amendment to IEEE 802.11-2007. In particular, Clause 19 of IEEE 802.11-2007, among others, defines the features of 802.11g. See, e.g., Exhibit 14D, IEEE 802.11g-2003; Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 19. Clause 19 is based on Clause 17, which defines the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) physical layer for 802.11a, but extends Clause 17 to 2.4 GHz ISM band. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 19.1 and 19.1.2. IEEE 802.11-2007 defines a standard for a bidirectional communication system, wherein a remote communication device, i.e., a station (STA) may both transmit and receive messages. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 5.4.1.1 (This is the primary service used by IEEE 802.11 STAs. It is conceptually invoked by every data message to and from an IEEE 802.11 STA. . . .), emphasis added. In addition, the standard also specifies that each STA includes both receive and transmit functions. See, e.g.,

at least one symbol mapper for mapping symbols using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbol mapping and phase-shift keying (PSK) symbol mapping;

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007. The iPhone 4 includes a symbol mapper to map data symbols into QAM or PSK modulation symbols. Figure 17-12 shows that a 802.11-compliant device must include a symbol mapping to perform the interleaving/mapping functionality.

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007. Further, 802.11g requires that both PSK and QAM modulation for various data rates. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, Table 19-10. a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) engine that receives a frame of parallel data based on symbol data generated by the symbol mapper, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) engine generating a frame of time domain in-phase and quadrature phase data from the symbol data generated by The iPhone 4 includes a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) engine that receives a frame of parallel data and generates time domain in-phase and quadrature phase data. For example, Figure 17-12 shows that the output of the symbol mapper is provided to an inverse Fast Fourier Transform engine:

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007. More specifically, the output of the symbol mapper is a frame of parallel data dk,n, which are complex numbers, defined for NSD = 48 subcarriers:

where NSYM is the number of OFDM symbols. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17.3.5.9. Then, within each symbol, an inverse Fourier transform is performed on the 48 parallel complex numbers dk,n along with pilot data Pk:

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17.3.5.9. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that result of the inverse Fourier transform, i.e., the time domain signal rDATA,n(t), contains both an in-phase component, e.g., a cosine wave, and a quadrature phase component, e.g., a sine wave, as expressed in exp((j2M(k)F(t-TGI)). at least one converter generating an analog signal based on the stream of time domain in-phase and quadrature phase data; The iPhone 4 includes a converter to generate an analog signal based on the time domain in-phase and quadrature phase data. For example, Figure 17-12 shows that the output of the inverse Fourier transform engine is applied to the carrier wave:

a radio frequency transmitter for transmitting a radio frequency signal based on the analog signal; and

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007. The iPhone 4 includes a radio frequency transmitter to transmit a radio frequency signal based on the analog signal. For example, Figure 17-12 shows that the output of the converter is provided to a high-power amplifier (HPA) and antenna for transmission:

a processor, wherein the symbol mapper is responsive to the processor, and the processor controls synchronization of symbol timing and carrier frequency of transmissions from the radio frequency transmitter.

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007. The iPhone 4 includes a processor that operates with the symbol mapper and that controls synchronization of symbol timing and carrier frequency of transmissions. For example, at the symbol mapper, [t]he encoded and interleaved binary serial input data shall be divided into groups of NBPSC (1, 2, 4, or 6) bits and converted into complex numbers representing BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, or 64-QAM constellation points. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17.3.5.7. A 802.11-compliant device must include a process to carry out the choices and decisions at least with regard to the number NBPSC bits in the groups and the modulation scheme, i.e., BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, or 64-QAM, so that the symbol mapper may properly map the data symbols. In addition, the processor must also synchronize and determine the frequency of transmissions. For example, the 802.11 standard specifies that all compliant devices must include [a] Timing Synchronization Function (TSF) [that] keeps the timers for all STAs in the same BSS synchronized. All STAs must maintain a local TSF timer. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 11.1.1. The
