In this paper, a new mesh-typed NoC(Network on Chip) architecture is proposed which aims at enhancing network performance. Networks-on-Chips (NoCs) are a new design paradigm for scalable high throughput communication infrastructures, in Systems-on-Chips (SoCs) with billions of transistors. The idea of NoCs is dividing a chip into several independent clusters connected together by global communication architecture. As the number of cores integrated into System-on-Chip increases, the on-chip communication limits the performance and power consumption in current and next generation SoCs. The resultant NoC uses mesh topology along with virtual channel allocation methodology. The routing algorithm combined with mesh topology improves average latency and saturation traffic load.
