An improved communication scheme for non-HOL-blocking wireless NoC

As the wireless interface often requires handling numbers of data simultaneously in wireless network-on-chip, it potentially causes data congestions. The degradation of wireless data transfer can tremendously reduce the efficiency of the network communication. In this paper, virtual output queuing (VOQ) technique has been used to eliminate the head-of-line blocking issue. Moreover, a novel and effective communication scheme has also been introduced to alleviate the traffic load in wireless nodes and hence improving the efficiency of wireless communication. Simulation results indicate that our proposed architecture is advantageous in various aspects including the transfer latency, network throughput and energy consumption.
