• Design and Implementation of Network-on-Chip -- A Low-power Framework
  Prof. C.S. CHOY
  Mr. ZHANG Min
  Abstract:
  Even though NoC is already more power efficient than bus designs, power consumption remains a big concern in future. This project offers an innovative way to alleviate this concern by developing a low power NoC design framework. The framework will draw on power saving techniques in three design levels, algorithm, architecture and circuit. At algorithm level, high-level models will be developed to reduce network hop counts with low costs in the early design stage. Low-level simulations will then be done to verify the high-level models. At architecture level, low-power router microarchitecture will be investigated from the point of low-level implementation. Thus useful low power components can be developed at the same time. At circuit level, clock gating will be exploited to reduce the huge clock distribution power in both network and routers. Special attention will be given to those power-critical blocks.
  
  
• Low Power, Low Cost MB-OFDM UWB Baseband Processor
  Supervisor: Prof C.S. CHOY
  Ms Fan Wen
  
  Based on Mutiband Orthogonal Frquency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) technique which combines OFDM with frequency hopping. It increases both the traffic capacity and the frequency diversity for Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) application, but it has the chanllenge of very large hardware complexity and requires high noise immunity.
