Abstract

In this paper, we propose a dual-mode hybrid ARQ scheme for energy efficient on-chip communication, where the type of coding scheme can be dynamically selected based on different noise environments and reliability requirements. In order to reduce codec area overhead, a hardware sharing design method is implemented, resulting in only a minor increase in area costs compared to a single-mode system. For a given reliability requirement, the proposed error control scheme yields up to 35% energy improvement compared to previous solutions and up to 18% energy improvement compared to worst-case noise design method.
