contents Wireless Network-on-Chip (WNoC) has been proposed as a low-latency, versatile, and broadcast-capable complement to current interconnects in the quest for satisfying the ever-increasing communications needs of modern computing systems. However, to realize the promise of WNoC, multiple wireless links operating at several tens of Gb/s need to be created within a computing package. Unfortunately, the highly integrated and enclosed nature of such computing packages incurs significant Co-Channel Interference (CCI) and Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI), not only preventing the deployment of multiple spatial channels, but also severely limiting the symbol rate of each individual channel. In this work, Time Reversal (TR) is proposed as a means to compensate the channel impairments and enable multiple concurrent high-speed links at the chip scale. We offer evidence, via full-wave simulations at 140 GHz, that TR can increase the symbol rate by an order of magnitude and allow the deployment of multiple concurrent links towards achieving aggregate speeds in excess of 100 Gb/s. Finally, the challenges relative to the realization of TR at the chip scale are analyzed from the implementation, protocol support, and architectural perspectives.
