Exhibit 14 Preliminary Infringement Chart of Reading USPN 7,417,944 on Apple iPhone 4 Claim 1.

. A method for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing multipoint-topoint communications system, the method 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. A basic service area (BSS) may include an access point (AP), i.e., a host unit, that communicates with multiple STAs. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 5.4.2.2 (An AP may be associated with many STAs at one time.). In addition, 802.11g devices communicate with one another and with the AP using OFDM technology. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17, 19. The iPhone 4, along with other STAs in the system, can establish communication with the AP. For example, [b]efore a STA is allowed to send a data message via an AP, it shall first become associated with the AP. The act of becoming associated invokes the association service. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 5.4.2.2.

establishing communication between a first remote unit of a plurality of remote units and a host unit, the plurality of remote units communicatively coupled to the host unit in a multipoint-to-point configuration; transmitting non-control data on up to a plurality of tones from the first remote unit using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing

The iPhone 4 transmits non-control data on up to 48 OFDM subcarriers (tones). The data may be modulated using BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, or 64-QAM, depending on the rate requested. In particular, the 802.11 standard specifies that a total of 48 subcarriers may be used to transmit data:

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17.3.2.3. Moreover, [t]he OFDM subcarriers shall be modulated by using BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, or 64QAM, depending on the RATE requested. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17.3.5.7. transmitting control signals on up to a plurality of tones from the first remote unit using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform, the up to a plurality of tones modulated with the control signals using a second, more robust modulation scheme; wherein transmitting the control signals comprises transmitting control signals on tones modulated using binary phase shift keying (BPSK). The iPhone 4 transmits control data, e.g., pilot data, on up to 4 OFDM subcarriers. The pilot data are BPSK modulated. In particular, the 802.11 standard specifies that a total of 4 subcarriers may be used to transmit the pilot:

Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17.3.5.8. The iPhone 4 also transmits header information on the OFDM subcarriers. The header information indicates the data rate, length, etc., and is transmitted with the most robust combination of BPSK modulation and a coding rate of R = 1/2. Exhibit 14B, IEEE 802.11-2007, 17.3.2.
