Multi-carrier spread-spectrum transceiver for WiNoC

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a low-power, high-speed, multi-carrier reconfigurable transceiver based on Frequency Division Multiplexing to ensure data transfer in future Wireless NoCs. The proposed transceiver supports a medium access control method to sustain unicast, broadcast and multicast communication patterns, providing dynamic data exchange among wireless nodes. The proposed transceiver designed using a 28-nm FDSOI technology consumes only 2.37 mW and 4.82 mW in unicast/broadcast and multicast modes, respectively, with an area footprint of 0.0138 mm 2. CCS CONCEPTS • Networks → Network on chip; • Hardware → Radio frequency and wireless interconnect.

Analytical Model for Performance Evaluation of Token-Passing-Based WiNoCs

“…These parallelism capabilities obviously generate an enormous amount of data exchanges making the communication medium a key element in the overall system performance. Recent advances in silicon integration offer opportunities to use emerging on-chip interconnects such as Wireless Network-on-Chips (WiNoCs) [2]. Utilizing the very wide frequency band offered by the Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process is the key benefit of WiNoCs.…”
