Toward Fault-Tolerant Deadlock-Free Routing in HyperSurface-Embedded\n Controller Networks

HyperSurfaces (HSFs) consist of structurally reconfigurable metasurfaces\nwhose electromagnetic properties can be changed via a software interface, using\nan embedded miniaturized network of controllers. With the HSF controllers,\ninterconnected in an irregular, near-Manhattan geometry, we propose a robust,\ndeterministic Fault-Tolerant (FT), deadlock- and livelock-free routing protocol\nwhere faults are contained in a set of disjointed rectangular regions called\nfaulty blocks. The proposed FT protocol can support an unbounded number of\nfaulty nodes as long as nodes outside the faulty blocks are connected.\nSimulation results show the efficacy of the proposed FT protocol under various\nfaulty node distribution scenarios.\n
