The demand on wireless networks with high throughput has grown heavily because of the increasing usage of data services. One of the key technologies to meet this requirement is the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system, which improves the spectrum efficiency without too much investment on the infrastructure and new frequency spectrum. In this theis, a new MIMO channel model...

Specific parameters for Network on Chips (NoCs), such as topology, switching method, and packet sizes, have a huge impact on performance of NoCs. Cycle and bit accurate simulation and emulation are necessary to evaluate and validate the performance of the NoC system. The goal of this work is to develop an open platform, synthesizable NoC framework that would evaluate such performance metrics as...
