Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a wireless-enabled component (WEC) for enabling a wireless bus for intra-chip and inter-chip communication. A WEC encompasses a functional block of an IC (such as, for example, a processing core of a processing unit), an entire IC (such as, for example, a processing unit), or a device that includes a plurality of ICs (such as, for example, a handheld device). According to embodiments, a WEC may be associated with one or more sub-blocks of an IC, a single IC, or a plurality of ICs.
