`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Declaration of Dr. Vijay K. Madisetti, Ph.D.
`
`
`I, Vijay K. Madisetti, do hereby declare:
`
`1. My name is Vijay K. Madisetti. I have been retained by counsel for
`
`Qualcomm Inc. and Qualcomm Technologies Inc. (collectively “Petitioner,”
`
`“Qualcomm”) as a technical expert in connection with the proceeding identified
`
`above. I submit this declaration in support of Qualcomm’s Petitions for Inter Partes
`
`Review of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,271,812 (“the ’812 Patent”), 8,443,216 (“the ’216
`
`Patent”), and 8,656,196 (“the ’196 Patent”) (collectively, “the de Cesare Patents”).
`
`2.
`
`I have been asked to analyze and provide my opinions regarding
`
`whether claims 8 and 9 of the ’812 Patent, 1–3, 6, 8–10, and 13 of the ’216 Patent,
`
`and claims 1–3, 7, and 8 of the ’196 Patent (the “Challenged Claims”) would have
`
`been anticipated or obvious to a Person of Ordinary Skill in the Art (“POSITA”) at
`
`the time of the alleged invention of each of these patents, in light of the prior art.
`
`Among other things, I have been asked to analyze and opine on the de Cesare
`
`Patents; their prosecution histories; the scope and meaning of the Challenged
`
`Claims; the level of ordinary skill in the art and state of the art at the time of the
`
`alleged inventions of the Challenged Claims; and the following prior art references:
`
`U.S. Patent Pub. No. 2007/0043965 (“Mandelblat”) (Ex. 1003), U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,363,523 (“Kurts”) (Ex. 1004), U.S. Patent No. 7,426,648 (“Lint”) (Ex. 1005), and
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,369,815 (“Kang”) (Ex. 1006).

`Declaration of Dr. Vijay K. Madisetti, Ph.D.
`
`I joined Georgia Tech in the Fall of 1989 and am now a Professor in
`
`8.
`
`Electrical and Computer Engineering. I have been active in the areas of wireless
`
`communications, digital signal processing, processor and system on chip design,
`
`integrated circuit design (analog and digital), software engineering, system-level
`
`design methodologies and tools, and software systems. I have been the principal
`
`investigator (“PI”) or co-PI in several active research programs in these areas,
`
`including DARPA’s Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors,
`
`the State of Georgia’s Yamacraw Initiative, the United States Army’s Federated
`
`Sensors Laboratory Program, and the United States Air Force Electronics Parts
`
`Obsolescence Initiative. I have received an IBM Faculty Award and the NSF’s
`
`Research Initiation Award. I have been awarded the 2006 Frederick Emmons
`
`Terman Medal by the American Society of Engineering Education for contributions
`
`to Electrical Engineering, including authoring a widely-used textbook in the design
`
`of VLSI digital signal processors.
`
`9.
`
`I have developed and taught undergraduate and graduate courses in
`
`hardware and software design for signal processing and wireless communication
`
`circuits at Georgia Tech for the past twenty years. I have graduated more than
`
`twenty Ph.D. students that now work as professors or in technical positions around
`
`the world.

`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Vijay K. Madisetti, Ph.D.
`
`I have been an active consultant to industry and various research
`
`10.
`
`laboratories (including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (“MIT”) Lincoln
`
`Labs and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory). I have founded
`
`three companies in the areas of embedded software, military chipsets involving
`
`imaging technology, and wireless communications. I have supervised the Ph.D.
`
`dissertations of over twenty engineers in the areas of computer engineering, signal
`
`processing, communications,
`
`rapid prototyping, and system-level design
`
`methodology, five of which have resulted in thesis prizes or paper awards.
`
`11. My consulting work for MIT Lincoln Labs involved high resolution
`
`imaging for defense applications, where I worked in the area of prototyping complex
`
`and specialized computing systems. My consulting work for Johns Hopkins Applied
`
`Physics Lab (“APL”) mainly involved localization of objects in image fields, where
`
`I worked on identifying targets in video and other sensor fields and identifying
`
`computer architectures and circuits for power and space-efficient designs.
`
`12. The first of the companies I founded, VP Technologies, offers products
`
`in the area of semiconductor integrated circuits, including building computing
`
`systems for helicopter imaging systems for the United States Air Force. I remain a
`
`Director of VP Technologies. The second of these companies, Soft Networks, LLC,
`
`offers software for multimedia and wireless computing platforms, including the
`
`development of a set-top box for Intel that decodes MPEG-2 video streams and
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Vijay K. Madisetti, Ph.D.
`
`
`
`imaging codes for multimedia phones. The technology involved with the design,
`
`development, and implementation of the Intel set-top box included parsing the bit
`
`streams, decoding communications protocols, extracting image and video data, and
`
`then processing for subsequent display or storage. The third of these companies,
`
`Elastic Video, uses region-of-interest based video encoding or decoding for
`
`capturing high quality video at very low bit rates, with primary application for
`
`wireless video systems.
`
`13.
`
`I have authored or co-authored several books, including VLSI Digital
`
`Signal Processors (IEEE Press, 1995) and the Digital Signal Processing Handbook
`
`(CRC Press, 1998). I am Editor of the three-volume DSP Handbook set (Volume 1:
`
`Digital Signal Processing Fundamentals; Volume 2: Video, Speech, and Audio
`
`Signal Processing and Associated Standards; and Volume 3: Wireless, Networking,
`
`Radar, Sensory Array Processing, and Nonlinear Signal Processing), which was
`
`published in 2010 by CRC Press in Boca Raton, Florida.
`
`14.
`
`I have worked in the area of low power design of electronic circuits
`
`since the early 1990s. My book, VLSI Digital Signal Processors (IEEE Press,
`
`1995), provides one of the first comprehensive treatments of how low power
`
`processors and systems are designed, including the use of voltage and frequency
`
`scaling (See Chapter 5 below).

`
`I have also applied power optimization techniques in chip design,
`
`operating system design, and compiler code optimization design in several papers
`
`and design projects from the early 2000 time-frame and have designed several
`
`processors that have been optimized for performance and power. This includes, for
`
`example, work and research in power optimization design for System on Chip
`
`Design in IEEE Design & Test of Computers, 2006 and other papers listed in my
`
`qualifications. I also teach courses in this area at the graduate and undergraduate

`
`Design, and ECE 3056, Architecture, Energy and Concurrency in Computation).
`
`16.
`
`I have designed several specialized processors, computer and
`
`communication systems over the past two decades at Georgia Tech for tasks
`
`including wireless audio and video processing and protocol processing for portable
`
`platforms, like cell phones and person digital assistants. I have worked on designing
`
`systems that are efficient from a performance, size, weight, area, and thermal point
`
`of view. I have developed courses and classes for the industry on these topics, and
`
`many of my lectures in advanced computer system design, developed under the
`
`sponsorship of the United States Department of Defense in the late 1990s, are
`
`available for educational use at http://www.eda.org/rassp. These lectures have been
`
`used by several U.S. and international universities as part of their course work.
`
`17.
`
`I have been elected a Fellow of the IEEE. The Fellow is the highest
`
`grade of membership of the IEEE, a world professional body consisting of over
`
`300,000 electrical and electronics engineers, with only one-tenth of one percent
`
`(0.1%) of the IEEE membership being elected to the Fellow grade each year.
`
`Election to Fellow is based upon votes cast by existing Fellows in IEEE.
`
`18.
`
`I have also been awarded the 2006 Frederick Emmons Terman Medal
`
`by the American Society of Engineering Education for contributions to Electrical
`
`Engineering, including authoring a widely used textbook in the design of VLSI

`
`
`
`digital signal processors. I was awarded the VHDL International Best Ph.D.
`
`Dissertation Advisor Award in 1997 and the NSF Research Initiation Award in 1990.
`
`I was Technical Program Chair for both the IEEE MASCOTS in 1994 and the IEEE
`
`Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation in 1990. In 1989, I was recognized
`
`with the Ira Kay IEEE/ACM Best Paper Award for Best Paper presented at the IEEE
`
`Annual Simulation Symposium.
`
`19.
`
`In view of the above and my curriculum vitae attached as Attachment
`
`1, I had (i) a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering; (ii) over 25 years lecturing at the
`
`college level on the topic of electrical engineering, including on the topics of low-
`
`power processor and system on chip design; and (iii) several years of experience in
`
`the design and development of microprocessors and systems on chips, including
`
`low-power design, prior to the earliest priority date of the de Cesare Patents. Thus,
`
`as of the earliest possible priority date of each of the de Cesare Patents (i.e., April 7,
`
`2010), I was at least a person of ordinary skill in the art of the ’812 Patent, the ’216
`
`Patent, and the ’196 Patent (Section IV, infra), and I had direct personal knowledge
`
`of their technologies.
`III. LEVEL OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
