研究了无线网络层采用片上天线，有线网络层采用金属互连的混合无线片上网络（NoC）网络层动态可重构的可行性。使用电路协同仿真技术与基于3D有限元法（FEM）的天线的全波电磁分析的NoC的可重构性进行了分析。根据典型的互补金属氧化物半导体（CMOS）技术对管芯和电路进行建模。示出的是，可以具有1）用于信号源的至少两个不同的频域和2）在两个频域之间的信号宿的动态切换，具有最小的设计和面积开销。当实现时，所提出的可重构混合网络架构可以减少延迟，提高网络吞吐量。
The feasibility of the dynamic reconfigurability of the network layer of a hybrid wireless network-on-chip (NoC) that uses on-chip antennas for the wireless network layer and metal interconnects for the wired network layer is studied. The reconfigurability of the NoC is analyzed using a circuit co-simulation technique with a 3D finite element method (FEM) based full-wave electro-magnetic analysis of the antennas. The die and the circuits are modeled according to a typical complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. It is shown that, it is possible to have 1) at least two different frequency domains for the signal sources and 2) the dynamic switching of the signal sinks between the two frequency domains, with minimal design and area overhead. When implemented, the proposed reconfigurable hybrid network architecture can reduce the latency and increase the network throughput.
