Design of an Efficient Wireless Router with Congestion-Avoid Capacity in Node-Level and Link-Level
Wireless network-on-chip (WiNoC) has emerged as a promising paradigm for the multi-core interconnection. However
the congestion problem can severely degrade network performance. There are two kinds of congestion in wireless network
node-level congestion and link-level congestion. To alleviate those problems
a congestion-avoidance wireless router is proposed in this paper. For the node-level congestion
we design a scheme that allows wireless routers to be able to acquire congestion information of each other through broadcasting information in wireless channel. Thereby
wireless router with high congestion degree can be avoided by overladen data injection. For the link-level congestion
we design a parallel FIFO scheme that allows transmitting three data flits within a single cycle. In addition
a mathematical modeling is established to analyze the performance of parallel FIFO scheme. Experiments show that our work has a better performance in reducing the wireless network congestion and improving wireless resource utilization rate compared to the other WiNoCs.
