`
`DECLARATION OF MATTHEW C. VALENTI, Ph.D. IN
`SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR INTER PARTES REVIEW OF
`U.S. PATENT NO. 10,965,512
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`GM 1035
`
`

`

`I.
`
`Engagement
`1.
`I have been retained by General Motors LLC, Nissan North
`
`America, Inc., Tesla, Inc., and American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (“Petitioner”
`
`or “Petitioners”) to provide this declaration concerning the technical subject
`
`matter relevant to a petition for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No.
`
`10,965,512 (“’512 patent”).
`
`2.
`
`I am over 21 years of age and otherwise competent to make this
`
`Declaration. I make this Declaration based on facts and matters within my own
`
`knowledge and on information provided to me by others.
`
`3.
`
`Specifically, I was asked to review the declaration of Dr. Paul Min
`
`that was submitted by the Petitioner in IPR2022-01539 as Exhibit 1003 (“the
`
`Min Declaration”) and form an opinion of whether I agreed with the facts,
`
`analysis, and conclusions in that declaration.
`
`4. My compensation in this matter is not based on the substance of my
`
`opinions or the outcome of this matter. I have no financial interest in the
`
`Petitioners.
`
`5.
`
`In writing this declaration, I have considered my own knowledge
`
`and experience, including my work experience in the field of mobile and
`
`wireless communication systems and my experience working with others
`
`2
`
`

`

`involved in this field, including in the design and analysis of mobile and
`
`wireless communication systems.
`
`II. Background and Qualifications
`
`A. Educational Background
`6.
`I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering
`
`from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) in
`
`May 1992. I received a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering
`
`from Johns Hopkins University in May 1995 and a Ph.D. in Electrical
`
`Engineering from Virginia Tech in 1999.
`
`B.
`7.
`
`Professional Experience
`From 1992 to 1995 I served as an Electronics Engineer at the
`
`U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC. During this time, I worked
`
`on adaptive antenna
`
`technology,
`
`including systems
`
`that performed
`
`beamforming.
`
`8.
`
`From 1995 to 1999, I was a Graduate Research Assistant and
`
`Instructor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
`
`at Virginia Tech. For my Ph.D. research while working as a research assistant,
`
`I conducted in-depth investigations into signal processing and error-control
`
`coding techniques specifically tailored for mobile radio systems. A key focus
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`of my research was on understanding the crucial role played by pilot symbols
`
`and their utilization in channel estimation processes.
`
`9.
`
`From 1999 to present, I have been a faculty member at West
`
`Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia, starting out as an Assistant
`
`Professor, being promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2005, and then
`
`to Professor in 2010. At WVU, I regularly teach the senior undergraduate
`
`course on Wireless Networking (CPE 462), which covers key concepts behind
`
`modern cellular networks, including orthogonal frequency division multiple
`
`access (OFDMA) and techniques for managing interference such as frequency
`
`reuse. I also teach graduate courses on Coding Theory (EE 567) and
`
`Communication Theory (EE 561). In addition to my teaching, I run an active
`
`funded research program focused on wireless communications and signal
`
`processing. I have advised over 50 graduate students who worked in my lab,
`
`including 10 Ph.D. students, to degree completing.
`
`10.
`
`I have authored numerous technical papers on various aspects of
`
`mobile and wireless communication systems that have been published in well-
`
`respected, peer-reviewed journals, such as the IEEE Transactions on
`
`Communications, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE
`
`Transactions on Vehicular Technology, and the International Journal on
`
`Wireless Information Networks.
`
`4
`
`

`

`11.
`
`A representative publication of mine is entitled “Iterative channel
`
`estimation and decoding of pilot symbol assisted turbo codes over flat-fading channels”
`
`which was published in the Sept. 2001 issue of the IEEE Journal on Selected
`
`Area in Communications. In this paper, I developed refined methods for
`
`performing channel estimation for wireless communication systems that use
`
`pilots and error-control codes. The paper has been cited over 390 times by other
`
`researchers who found the work useful.
`
`12.
`
`Taken as a whole, my academic and practical experience have
`
`given me a substantial basis upon which to evaluate the technology that is in
`
`question in the claims of the ’512 Patent. Based on my experience and
`
`education, and the acceptance of my publications and professional recognition
`
`by peers in my field, I believe that I am qualified to opine as to the knowledge
`
`and level of skill of one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged
`
`invention of the ’512 patent (which I further describe below) and what such a
`
`person would have understood at that time, and the state of the art during that
`
`time.
`
`13.
`
`A complete copy of my curriculum vitae, which includes a list of
`
`my publications and contains further details on my education, experience,
`
`publications, patents, and other qualifications to render an expert opinion, is
`
`attached as Appendix A.
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`III.
`
`Information Considered
`14.
`In drafting this declaration and forming the opinions therein, I
`
`relied on my years of education, research, and industry and academic
`
`experience, including my direct experience and contribution in the area of
`
`design and analysis of mobile and wireless communication systems. I also
`
`relied on the materials listed in Appendix B.
`
`15.
`
`I reserve the right to rely upon these materials and other materials
`
`to rebut arguments raised by the Patent Owner.
`
`16.
`
`I reserve the right to supplement this declaration in response to
`
`additional evidence that may become known.
`
`17.
`
`In connection with any testimony that I may be asked to give to
`
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, I may use as exhibits various documents that
`
`relate to matters set forth in this declaration.
`
`IV. Opinions
`18.
`After considering the Min Declaration and the other materials
`
`listed in Appendix B, I agree with the facts, analysis, and conclusions in the
`
`Min Declaration, and I adopt the testimony in sections II and IV-XV of the Min
`
`Declaration as my own for purposes of this proceeding with the exception that,
`
`for Section IX, I would substitute my biographical information for Dr. Min’s.
`
`More specifically, for Section IX, I note that, like Dr. Min, I too was a POSA
`
`6
`
`

`

`at the time based on my Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in 1999 and my at least five
`
`years of experience with mobile wireless communications, and I adopt Dr.
`
`Min’s definition of a POSA.
`
`19.
`
`I declare all statements made herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be
`
`true; and further that the statements were made with the knowledge that willful
`
`false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or
`
`both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
