Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC), including a functional circuit and a security system, is disclosed. The functional circuit generates a request packet for an indirect memory access of a memory. The security system validates the functional circuit based on a security attribute and a functional identifier of the functional circuit. Based on the request packet and the validation of the functional circuit, the security system identifies an instruction sequence associated with the indirect memory access. Further, the security system determines a type of the indirect memory access based on the instruction sequence, and validates the type of the indirect memory access based on the security attribute and the request packet. Based on the validation of the type of the indirect memory access, the instruction sequence is executed, thereby facilitating the indirect memory access for the functional circuit.

Abstract: A method for selecting the state of a reconfigurable antenna installed at either the receiver or transmitter of a communication system is provided. The proposed method uses online learning algorithm based on the theory of multi-armed bandit to perform antenna state selection. The selection technique utilizes the Post-Processing Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PPSNR) as a reward metric and maximizes the long-term average reward over time. The performance of the learning based selection technique is empirically evaluated using wireless channel data. The data is collected in an indoor environment using a 2×2 MIMO OFDM system employing highly directional metamaterial Reconfigurable Leaky Wave Antennas. The learning based selection technique shows performance improvements in terms of average PPSNR and regret over conventional heuristic policies.

Abstract: By using reconfigurable antenna based pattern diversity, an optimal channel can be realized in order to maximize the distance between two subspaces, thereby increasing sum-rate. The inventors show the benefits of pattern reconfigurability using real-world channels, measured in a MIMO-OFDM interference network. The results are quantified with two different reconfigurable antenna architectures. An additional 47% gain in choral distance and 45% gain in sum capacity were achieved by exploiting pattern diversity with IA. Due to optimal channel selection, the performance of IA can also be improved in a low SNR regime.
