Routing on a two-dimensional torus architecture by means of the wormhole routing algorithm is introduced and extended to an n-dimensional torus model. To prevent blocking deadlocks caused by this algorithm, a multiple virtual channel solution is introduced. An implementation of virtual channels is introduced that allows channels with higher labels to pre-empt 'lower' channels. This algorithm is tested with a simplified model of a HiperLAN/2 receiver The model proves to be capable of running this application on the Chameleon [1] architecture.
An iterative quality-based algorithm for location discovery is presented which can be used in wireless ad hoc sensor networks. The algorithm will take the reliability of measurements into account and will produce a reliability index for every estimated location using a statistical approach. The algorithm can also work in a hybrid network with different kinds of distance measuring techniques. It will use the reliability of each of these methods in the final result. Satisfactory results can be achieved with this approach.
