Design of communication architecture for flexible electronic system based on honeycomb

In recent years, the emergence of flexible electronics has led to the rapid development of wearable devices, medical electronics, flexible displays, and the Internet of Things. With the increasing complexity of flexible electronics, more and more functional devices are integrated on flexible substrates. Communication between functional devices has become one of the most important issues in flexible electronics design. In this paper, we proposed a novel communication architecture of flexible electronic system based on a honeycomb structure and novel routing algorithm. Compared to the traditional structure, the proposed structure can effectively avoid the rupture of interconnections caused by excessive local deformation. Compared to the mesh network-on-chip, the area and power consumption of the proposed communication architecture are reduced by 46.43% and 30.51%, respectively.
