Several researchers are investigating the possibility of designing NoCs with wireless

interconnects. Recently, the design of a wireless NoC based on CMOS Ultra Wideband

(UWB) technology was proposed Zhao et al. [2008]. In Zhao et al. [2011] a wireless

Media Access Control (MAC) protocol based on time-multiplexing of ultra-short pulses

from the UWBtransceivers was proposed to enable concurrent use of the wireless channels.

A wireless NoC with unequal RF transceivers is proposed in Zhao et al. [2012]

to improve the performance in a conventional mesh topology overlaid with wireless interconnects.

In Lee et al. [2009] the design of on-chip wireless communication network

with miniature antennas and simple transceivers that operate at the sub-THz range

of 100–500 GHz has been proposed. Design of a wireless NoC using the small-world

topology using carbon nanotube (CNT) antennas operating in the THz frequency range

is elaborated in Ganguly et al. [2011a].
