Fault-tolerant Routing Methods in Network on Chip

Abstract

The network-based communication (NoC) is still a very efficient communication method in System on Chip (SoC). Different types of faults are affecting communication. The fault tolerance issue is an essential factor that has a direct impact on the reliability of the system. Many techniques were developed to improve the fault tolerance capability of NoCs. Several solutions are dedicated to enhance the fault tolerance, which in turn will increase the reliability of the system. This paper discusses such solution methods and compare them through the table.
