Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to improve a communication channel dynamically and autonomously based on the status of the communication traffic on the communication channel between a first integrated circuit (IC) and a second IC. The communication traffic on the communication channel can be monitored, and latency, bandwidth, link quality, or power consumption associated with the communication channel for the monitored communication traffic can be determined dynamically. A modified protocol for the communication channel that can improve the communication channel as compared to an existing protocol can be determined based on the information related to the latency, bandwidth, link quality, or the power consumption. The existing protocol can be changed autonomously to the modified protocol as the communication traffic varies.
