In this paper, we propose a low overhead load balancing router （LOLBR） for 2D mesh NoC to enhance routing performance criteria with low hardware overhead. The proposed LOLBR employs a balance tog- gle identifier to control the initial routing direction of X or Y for flit injection. The simplified demultiplexers and multiplexers are used to handle output ports allocation and contention, which provide a guarantee of deadlock avoidance. Simulation results show that the proposed LOLBR yields an improvement of routing performance over the reported routing schemes in average packet latency by 26.5%.
