Network on Chip (NoC) is the underlying communication platform for multi-core embedded systems. Wireless NoCs (WNoC) employ wired and wireless structures simultaneously to facilitate communication scenarios. In this paper, we propose an arbitration mechanism to guarantee the performance parameters for real-time traffic flows transferred in the wireless plane, while preserving high average performance for all the traffic flows in the wired or wireless sections of a wireless NoC. Different scenarios have been carefully selected and clear suggestions are provided using analytic performance models to effectively use a wireless NoC for real time application category. We have provided different examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposal.
