A unified design methodology for a hybrid wireless 2-D NoC
Ankit More, Barış Taşkın · 2012
Hybrid wireless NoCs are proposed to improve the communication throughput and energy compared to flat mesh-based NoCs. However, the multi-faceted design of a hybrid wireless NoC presents a conundrum amongst the different design paradigms. In this work, a methodology with minimal design complexity is presented for the design of hybrid wireless NoCs encompassing the different paradigms. To illustrate one use of the methodology, path loss models for the wireless channel implemented with various operating frequencies and substrate types are presented which are to be used in the design space exploration of the NoC.
