The use of “i.e.,” in the intrinsic record is often definitional. Edwards Lifesciences LLC v. Cook Inc., 582 F.3d 1322, 1334 (Fed. Cir. 2009) (“[U]se of ‘i.e.’ signals an intent to define the word to which it refers.”); see also Abbott Labs. v. Novopharm Ltd., 323 F.3d 1324, 1330 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (holding that a patentee “explicitly defined” a term by using “i.e.” followed by an explanatory phrase). Here, in describing the difference between detecting a primary stream for single or dual stream transmissions, the Specification provides that for the dual stream transmission, an extra term is utilized and “[t]his extra term is due to the inter-stream interference, i.e., Si [the primary stream] and S2 [the secondary stream] will interfere with each other.” Spec. 11:13—20. As such, the broadest reasonable interpretation of “inter-stream interference,” consistent with the Specification, is the interference caused by the transmission of one stream on another concurrently transmitted stream.
