Signaling Protocol Specification for Signaling Approach-Based Virtual Output Queue Router Architecture

Abstract

Network communication protocol is a set of rules used by the network designer while designing a packet in computer network. It is a mechanism through which the network and users are connected together and designer can easily expand and manage the capability of network. In this paper, work is presented on a new communication protocol with signaling mechanisms. This protocol is used for a new Virtual Output Queue (VoQ) router architecture by considering 2D mesh topology to support Quality of Service (QoS) requirements between all hardware resources in Network-on-Chip (NoC). This system will be responsible for forwarding the instantaneous information between the neighbor’s routers. With this new protocol, each router will get the present status information of its neighbor’s router in advance. Major issues of routing like static routing and congestion in the routing path will try to avoid by using this protocol.
