제안하는 arbiter 구조는 AMBA AHB Protocol에서 사용하는 표준 arbiter 를 개선하여, master device들간의 버스 사용에 따른 bus conflict 를 감소시킨 구조이다. 제안하는 arbiter 구조는 인접한 주소를 참조하는 master device 들의 전송을 버스의 대역폭 내에서 한 번에 전송함으로써 버스 전송 횟수 및 데이터 전송량을 감소시킨다. 실험결과, 제안하는 arbiter 구조는 기존의 arbiter 구조에 비해 최대 89%의 전송량이 감소하였다.

H.264 decoders usually have pipeline architecture by a macroblock or a 4 ${\times}$ 4 sub-block. The period of the pipeline is usually fixed to guarantee the operation in the worst case which results in many idle cycles and higher data bandwidth. Adaptive pipeline architecture for H.264 decoders has been proposed for efficient decoding and lower the requirement of the bandwidth for the memory bus. However, it requires a controller for the adaptive priority control to utilize the advantage. We propose a smart bus arbiter that replaces the controller. It is introduced to adjust the priority adaptively the QoS (Quality of Service) control of the decoding process. The smart arbiter can be integrated the arbiter of bus systems and it works when certain conditions are met so that it does not affect the original functions of the arbiter. An H.264 decoder using the proposed architecture is designed and implemented to verify the operation using an FPGA.

In wireless sensor networks, data dissemination is based on data-centric routing that well matches the publish/subscribe communication paradigm. The publish/subscribe paradigm requires decoupling properties: space, time, and synchronization decoupling. For large-scale applications, the three decoupling properties provide scalability and robust communication. However, existing data dissemination schemes for wireless sensor networks do not achieve full decoupling. Therefore, we propose a novel data dissemination scheme that fully accomplishes the three decoupling, called ARBIETER. ARBITER constructs an independent network structure as a logical software bus. Information interworking between publishers and subscribers is indirectly and asynchronously performed via the network structure. ARBITER also manages storage and mapping of queries and data on the structure because of supporting different time connection of publishers and subscribers. Our simulation proves ARBITER show better performance in terms of scalability, network robustness, data responsibility, mobility support, and energy efficiency.

This thesis proposes a new type of Input-Output Buffered ATM Switch which employs an arbiter and its performance under different traffic conditions studied. The proposed switch is designed with a view to exploit the architecture and other characteristics of the arbiter. The primary aim of the proposed switch is the elimination, or at least, the reduction of HOL blocking phenomenon which occurs in the simple input buffered switch. Several HOL arbitration algorithms have been proposed for this purpose in the literature. The proposed switch attempts to reduce the HOL blocking as it uses the arbiter and the buffer at the output port in an effective manner. The arbiter is designed to work with Three Phase Algorithm which is one of the many well known HOL arbitration algorithms. The Proposed switch acquires control over priority transmission through the REQ signal. As the signals are transmitted to the arbiter, the latter controls the one which is sent by the input buffer. Computer simulation results have been provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Proposed switch under uniform traffic conditions.

SoC(System on a Chip) has several masters, slaves, arbiter and decoder in bus architecture. Master initiates the data transactions like CPU, DMA and DSP and slave responses the data transactions like SRAM, SDRAM and register. Furthermore, as multiple masters can't use a bus concurrently, arbiter plays an role in bus arbitration. In compliance with the selection of arbitration method, SoC performance can be changed definitely. In this study, we compare the characteristics of various arbitration policies using TLM(Transaction Level Model) method. Fixed priority, round-robin, TDMA and Lottery bus policies are used in general arbitration method. We analyze the merit and demerit of these arbitration policies.

Among Internet of things (IoT) applications, the most demanding requirements for the widespread realization of many IoT visions are security and low power. In terms of security, IoT applications include tasks that are rarely addressed before such as secure computation, trusted sensing, and communication, privacy, and so on. These tasks ask for new and better techniques for the protection of data, software, and hardware. An integral part of hardware cryptographic primitives are secret keys and unique IDs. Physical Unclonable Functions(PUF) are a unique class of circuits that leverage the inherent variations in manufacturing process to create unique, unclonable IDs and secret keys. In this paper, we propose a low power Arbiter PUF circuit with low error rate and high reliability compared with conventional arbiter PUFs. The proposed PUF utilizes a power gating structure to save the power consumption in sleep mode, and uses a razor flip-flop to increase reliability. PUF has been designed and implemented using a FPGA and a ASIC chip (a 0.35 um technology). Experimental results show that our proposed PUF solves the metastability problem and reduce the power consumption of PUF compared to the conventional Arbiter PUF. It is expected that the proposed PUF can be used in systems required low power consumption and high reliability such as low power encryption processors and low power biomedical systems.

In this paper, we consider the broadcast switch architecture for hish performance multicast packet switching. In input and output buffered switch, we propose a new switch architecture which supports high throughput in broadcast packet switching with switch planes of single input and multiple output crossbars. The proposed switch architecture has a central arbiter that arbitrates requests from plural input ports and generates multiple grant signals to multiple output ports in a packet transmission slot. It provides high speed pipelined arbitration and large scale switching capacity.
