<<It is not possible to implement cellular telephony with spread spectrum physical layer (CDMA), without also employing 1. power control (as the phone approaches to the tower), 2. rake receiver, 3. soft hand over of calls to the adjacent cell as the phone moves. It is these three essential patents that form the basis of Q's stronghold on the CDMA telephony. It is these three patents that NOK tried for 16 years to bypass, without success. They tried with R&D, and separately in courts, they kept losing in both venues.>> Wasn't it so that patents expire in 17 years? I ain't no patent engineer, but could that be the explanation for Nokia's decision to give up after 16 years, like you wrote.
