Multicore processing requires highly efficient communication networks for data transmission. In this work, a 10-Gbps wireless communication network is described. The network relies on 16 5-GHz channels in the 300-GHz range and code division multiple access is utilized to share the spectrum among multiple users. A cross-layer design is approached such that the memory content in each core is accessible by partnering cores. A fully-bi-directional transceiver relying on on-off keying is described, an energy efficient transmitter is proposed and each core is expected to consume on the order of 11.43 mW.
