Abstract Communication is a solution to achieve data transfer between various
system components. In this paper, an efficient Walsh-code-based code division mul-
tiple access (WBCDMA) was implemented. The encoder and decoder blocks are
developed using Walsh-code-based orthogonal codes. An eight-node WBCDMA
network was developed and synthesized. WBCDMA Network-on-chip communica-
tion is realized by using Xilinx ISE 14.7 edition. The area requirements are obtained
from the synthesis report and using Vivado estimation tool. The power requirements
are analyzed. This paper also concentrates on the real-time applicability of the system
that is possible with the help of mixed-signal processing. Xilinx system generator is
used to analyze BER performance of the above system under AWGN channel condi-
tion. The simulation reveals that the 8-bit data can be simultaneously transferred to
the corresponding nodes without the loss of information. The WBCDMA NoC data
transfers latency of 20. The power requirements are also minimized (Ahmed et al. in
IEEE Trans Very Large Scale Integr (VLSI) Syst 25(6), 2017). Noise impact on the
data transfer between different nodes is almost negligible when SNR crosses above
20 dB. These systems can be used to validate the real-time implementation.

1 Introduction
According to technology development, the number of components to be integrated
on the single silicon chip increases, so communication/data transfer between the dif-
ferent components becomes complicated with an increase in the number of system
components. Network-on-Chip (NoC) is proposed to solve the on-chip communi-
cation problems. Circuit-switched network, packet switching network, is the most
