JURISDICTION AND VENUE

10. This is an action for patent infringement which arises under the Patent Laws 

of the United States, in particular, 35 U.S.C. §§271, 281, 284, and 285.

11. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action under 28 

U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).

12. This Court has specific and general personal jurisdiction over each Huawei

Defendant pursuant to due process and/or the Texas Long Arm Statute, because each Huawei 

Defendant has committed acts giving rise to this action within Texas and within this judicial 

district. The Court’s exercise of jurisdiction over each Huawei Defendant would not offend 

traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice because Huawei has established

minimum contacts with the forum. For example, on information and belief, Huawei

Defendants have committed acts of infringement in this judicial district, by among other 

things, selling and offering for sale products that infringe the asserted patent, directly or 

through intermediaries, as alleged herein.

13. Venue in the Western District of Texas is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§§1391(b), (c)(3), and 1400(b) because Huawei Technologies USA Inc. and Huawei Device 

USA Inc. have committed acts of infringement in this judicial district and have a regular 

and established places of business in this judicial district and in Texas. As non-limiting 

examples, on information and belief, Huawei Technologies USA Inc. and Huawei Device 

USA Inc. have sold or offered to sell the Accused Products in this judicial district and have 

employees or agents that operate Huawei equipment in this judicial district, including at

Radio Resource Control (RRC) sublayer in E-UTRAN (or, LTE) mobile communication system 

provides mobility functions such as handover, context transfer at handover, etc. in base stations.

24. In RRC_Connected state, a User Equipment (or, UE) has an E-UTRAN-RRC 

connection with a cell (or base station). The E-UTRAN communication system knows the 

connection between a UE and a cell. The communication network in this state decides which 

UE shall connect to which cell. As a result, handover takes place to facilitate such connections 

and seamless connectivity. (

25. UEs (or mobile stations) monitor target eNodeBs for the handover process 

which is controlled by LTE base stations (“eNodeBs”). LTE mobility functionality is 

configured by the network and is carried out by eNodeBs that are in communication with the 

UEs.

p.pdf

26. When a UE establishes radio bearers, the eNodeB delivers the neighboring 

cell measurement configuration to the UE by using the RRC Connection Reconfiguration 

message. UE performs neighboring cell measurements and sends details to source eNodeB.

message when the Handover preparation is completed successfully.

p.pdf

38. In case the requested handover fails due to any reason (e.g., no resources are 

available on the target side), the target eNodeB responds with a Handover Preparation Failure 

message. In such a case, the source eNodeB and UE retains some context information to enable 

the return of UE. 

https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136300_136399/136300/15.03.00_60/ts_136300v150300

40. The source eNodeB and UE maintain some context (e.g., C-RNTI) to return 

of UE in case of Handover failure.

p.pdf

41. When handover fails, the source eNodeB receives a Handover Preparation 

Failure message from target eNodeB. This facilitates the source eNodeB to coordinate with 

UE to re-initiate the handover process using the context kept for this purpose.

p.pdf

42. In the case of handover failure, the source eNodeB tries the next target until it 

gets the succeed feedback or wait for the second measurement report from the UE. Based on 

said set of the target base stations, source eNodeB can proceed with the next attempt for the 

handover.

https://www.scribd.com/presentation/228456406/5-LTE-ERAN6-0-Handover-FeatureISSUE1-00

44. After detecting handover preparation failure for the first time, the source 

eNodeB initiates another handover preparation with a new target eNodeB by sending a new 

Handover Request message.

https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136300_136399/136300/15.03.00_60/ts_136300v150300

p.pdf

45. The measurement reports transmitted by UE to source eNodeB provide signal 

quality information about the neighboring stations, which helps in deciding the target eNodeB 

for handover. This way the set of candidate base stations may also include base stations 

monitored from measurement reports.

46. In case of handover failure source eNodeB waits for the second measurement 

report from the UE and based on said report source eNodeB can select a set of candidate base 

stations.

https://www.scribd.com/presentation/228456406/5-LTE-ERAN6-0-Handover-FeatureISSUE1-00

47. The target eNodeB sends Handover Request Acknowledgement message in 

response to Handover Request message from source eNodeB.

p.pdf

48. The target eNodeB sends Handover Request Acknowledgement message to 

source eNodeB only when handover preparation and handover resource allocation is 

successful. In case of failure, the target eNodeB sends the Handover Preparation Failure 

message.

https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136300_136399/136300/15.03.00_60/ts_136300v150300

p.pdf

49. Thus, handover preparation is complete when source eNodeB receives 

Handover Request Acknowledgement message from the selected target eNodeB (or, target 

station). The Handover Request Acknowledgement message confirms that the handover 

preparation has not failed and ensures the selection of target eNodeB for handover.

p.pdf

50. After receiving the Handover Request Acknowledgement for successful 

handover preparation, the handover process is started by the initiation of data forwarding. The 

target eNodeB generates an RRC message (e.g., RRCConnectionReconfiguration message) to 

perform handover. This message includes parameters required for handover, and it is sent by 

source eNodeB to the UE. The UE uses these parameters sent by the source eNodeB to perform 

handover. 

https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136300_136399/136300/15.03.00_60/ts_136300v150300

51. The source eNodeB sends Handover Request message to target eNodeB to 

initiate handover procedure. The Handover Request messages (or, first and second request) 

Case 6:20-cv-00199-ADA Document 1 Filed 03/18/20 Page 24 of 30
25

sent by source eNodeB include bearers' information of the UE to be set up by the target 

eNodeB during handover. 

https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136300_136399/136300/15.03.00_60/ts_136300v150300

54. When the communication network decides to retrieve additional information 

for handover, the UE again performs the relevant measurements similar to the first time to 

provide measurement reports.

https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136300_136399/136300/15.03.00_60/ts_136300v150300

55. UE measurement reporting is an inherent function of RRC for handover

https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136300_136399/136300/15.03.00_60/ts_136300v150300

p.pdf

56. The measurement reports contain quantities that relate to the signal quality of 

neighboring cells (or candidate base stations).

p.pdf

57. The measurement reports transmitted by UE to source eNodeB provide signal 

quality information about the neighboring stations, which helps in deciding the target eNodeB
