RNoC is an adaptive NoC-based system-on-chip providing a dynamic reconfigurable communication mechanism. By adding a virtual port -- named Routing Modification port -- into the conventional router architecture, the network router will be able to route communication data flexibly whenever the target routing path is blocked, by unwanted defects or intently by a software programme to meet the requirements of applications. The proposed architecture has been modeled in SystemC, simulated and verified within a 2D mesh 5x5 network platform. The static XY routing algorithm has been used in the normal communication mode while the West-First algorithm with a proposed prohibited router surrounding technique has been applied in the reconfiguration mode. Experimental results are also reported to compare the performance of the network architecture in different operation modes.} }
