Prior art

As a technical patent analyst, I need to access the "References Cited" section of US Patent 10952153 on the USPTO database to identify the most relevant prior art.

Limitation: I am unable to perform a live web search to navigate the USPTO Patent Public Search database and extract the specific "References Cited" list for US Patent 10952153. The provided "Full patent text (authoritative)" does not include a dedicated "References Cited" section, which typically lists patents and non-patent literature considered during the patent's examination as prior art. The "Cited By" and "Families Citing this family" sections in the provided text refer to patents that later cite US10952153, not prior art for US10952153.

Therefore, I cannot directly fulfill the request to "Look at each patent citation for 10952153" by obtaining the authoritative list of prior art patents from the USPTO database at this time.

How such an analysis would proceed (if the prior art list were available):

If a list of prior art patents were provided, the analysis would involve the following steps for each cited patent:

1. Full Citation: Record the patent number, issue date, inventor(s), and assignee.

2. Publication/Filing Date: Identify the earliest priority date or publication date, as this is crucial for determining prior art status under 35 U.S.C. § 102.

3. Brief Description: Summarize the abstract and relevant portions of the specification to understand the core technology and problem addressed by the prior art.

4. Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This would involve a detailed claim-by-claim comparison. For a prior art reference to anticipate a claim, it must disclose, either expressly or inherently, every single limitation of that claim.

   • Independent Claim 1 (User Equipment - UE):
     • A UE comprising a transmitter, receiver, and a processor.
     • The processor configures the receiver to receive an indication that TPC command accumulation is enabled.
     • The receiver receives, on a single physical channel, scheduling information and power control information (including a multi-level TPC command).
     • The transmitter transmits an uplink signal based on the received scheduling information and the multi-level TPC command.
   • Independent Claim 11 (Method performed by a UE):
     • A method for a UE with a transmitter and receiver.
     • The UE receives an indication from a network device that TPC command accumulation is enabled.
     • The UE receives, on a single physical channel, scheduling information and power control information (including a multi-level TPC command).
     • The UE transmits an uplink signal based on the received scheduling information and the multi-level TPC command.

   The key differentiating elements of US10952153's independent claims appear to be the "indication that TPC command accumulation is enabled," the receipt of "scheduling information and power control information that includes a multi-level TPC command" on a "single physical channel," and the "multi-level TPC command" itself. A prior art reference would need to explicitly or inherently disclose these specific combinations for anticipation.

Without the actual list of cited prior art patents, I cannot perform this detailed analysis.
