Method of exchanging information in a Network-on-Chip communication network, corresponding Network-on-Chip communication network and computer program product

摘要

A method of perform transactions in a communication network, wherein information is exchanged between Intellectual Property (IP) cores. The information is transported in packets (P) including a header (HD) for transporting control information, and one or more payloads (PL) transporting content.;The method provide the use of a versatile packet format (HF1-HF17) adapted to transport different traffic patterns generated by Intellectual Property (IP) cores using different protocols to ensure a simple interoperability between the Intellectual Property (IP) cores, providing also the configurability of the granularity arbitration process in order to correct crossing the routers in the communication network.
