Fault-Tolerant Networks for Electronic Textiles

Given the dynamic and harsh environments of electronic textile applications, particularly wearable computers and large-scale sensor networks, fault-tolerance is necessary. The interconnection network should route around faults in communication links and processing nodes. The mechanisms of error detection and route change decisions will be presented. Simulation results of the full network are reported.
