    Abstract: A method allows reconfigurable multi-element antennas to select the antenna configuration in MIMO, SIMO and MISO communication system. This selection scheme uses spatial correlation, channel reciprocal condition number, delay spread and average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) information to select the antenna radiation pattern at the receiver. Using this approach, it is possible to achieve capacity gains in a multi-element reconfigurable antenna system without modifying the data frame of a conventional wireless communication system. The capacity gain achievable with this configuration selection approach is calculated through numerical simulations using reconfigurable circular patch antennas at the receiver of a MIMO system that employs minimum mean square error receivers for channel estimation. Channel capacity and Bit Error Rate (BER) results show the improvement offered relative to a conventional antenna selection technique for reconfigurable MIMO systems.

    Abstract: A link adaptive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) ultrasonic physical layer is provided that is capable of high data rate communication through metallic structures. The use of an adaptive OFDM subcarrier-based modulation technique mitigates the effects of severe frequency selective fading of the through-metal communication link and improves spectral efficiency by exploiting the slow-varying nature of the channel. To address the potential ill effects of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and to make more efficient use of the power amplifiers in the system, the invention modifies and implements a symbol rotation and inversion-based PAPR reduction algorithm in the adaptive OFDM framework. This joint adaptive physical layer is capable of increasing data rates by roughly 220% in comparison to conventional narrowband techniques at average transmit powers of roughly 7 mW while constrained to a desired BER.

    Abstract: A passive UHF (Ultra High Frequency, 902-928 MHz) RFID-based fabric (such as a diaper) moisture sensor is low-cost, user-friendly, reusable, washable, environment-friendly and comes with an extended on-body read range of 3.6 meters with baby diapers and 4.4 meters with adult diapers. The external reader unit is connected to the internet or a local network, and may automatically notify the parents or caregivers as soon as the presence of moisture is detected.

    Abstract: Symmetric keys are generated by an algorithm that uses the randomness from the wireless PHY layer to extract the keys. When used with reconfigurable antennas, the algorithm yields longer keys. By using the randomness from the wireless PHY layer, the algorithm solves the issue of secure information leakage to the wireless channel during key establishment phase. The algorithm also omits transmitting anything secure during this phase and prevents any intruder from obtaining information related to the key. This approach can automatically secure the communications over open wireless networks (those without authentication or encryption) or closed wireless networks using other methods of authentication.

    Abstract: A learning protocol for distributed antenna state selection in directional cognitive small-cell networks is described. Antenna state selection is formulated as a nonstationary multi-armed bandit problem and an effective solution is provided based on the adaptive pursuit method from reinforcement learning. A cognitive small cell testbed, called WARP-TDMAC, provides a useful software-defined radio package to explore the usefulness of compact, electronically reconfigurable antennas in dense small-cell configurations. A practical implementation of the adaptive pursuit method provides a robust distributed antenna state selection protocol for cognitive small-cell networks. Test results confirm that directionality provides significant advantages over omnidirectional transmission which suffers high throughput reduction and complete link outages at above-average jamming or cross-link interference power.
