OK, it does sound like CW misunderstood their own patent in an earlier filing. And maybe that technically makes them lose the point.

But CW's current filing contains this:

According to the patent, “The MAC-e PDU is sent to the physical layer every n*TTI, instead of once every transmission time interval (TTI).” If the integer were to be 1, the MAC-e PDU would be sent to the physical layer once every TTI, which is expressly excluded by the specification.”

In other words, the specification excludes the n=1 case, and the n<1 cases are nonsensical.
