DSU,

So you are saying the distance calculation is the calculation that has been made to determine, say, a wireless router's "up to" distance that it will work [this is your "solidly fixed preset requirement"]? CLYW claims that the phones never need to make a distance calculation just that the phones be in the "up to distance" of the, for example, wireless router.

So, once a clyw phone is within the working distance of said wireless router, what does the patent say about how/when the handoff occurs? The parameters would have to be something like TM indicated: low enough packet loss percentage and signal quality? How does the patent address that it 'knows' it is within preset distance of a valid router (not stray signal), router might send some standard router id number format sent with signal?

DSU, are you convinced the patent is Golden?

Thanks.

I think we did explore the distance idea pretty thoroughly. Tmob has not given up on the idea of narrowing the patent coverage, hopefully our legal team is onto that game and I think they are. I see Tmob trying to settle this before it goes to a jury. I don't think our interest would be best served by bailing out before trial.

how does a phone know it is within a router range? does TM's signal strength and quality (low percentage packet loss) do anything to get around 923?
