Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a scalable wireless bus for intra-chip and inter-chip communication. The scalable wireless bus includes a plurality of wireless-enabled components (WECs). In an embodiment, the scalable wireless bus may have at least one of the number of links among WECs and the capacity of said links adapted based on one or more factors. For example, the number of links and the capacity of the links may be adapted according to one or more of, among other factors, expected activity level over the wireless bus, desired power consumption, delay, and interference levels.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wireless bus system, comprising: a plurality of wireless-enabled components (WECs) wirelessly coupled to each other via one or more wireless links that form a wireless bus; and a controller, coupled via a control channel to the plurality of WECs, configured to detect a change in one or more of: an expected activity level, a desired power consumption level, a desired communication delay level, and an interference level over the wireless bus, and to adapt,…
