Abstract-In this short paper we describe an approach and preliminary results for obtaining bounds on mutual information between release times and capture times for a set of M identical quanta traveling from a source to a target. The first-passage times are assumed independent and identically distributed and the launch times are constrained. One major application of area is intercellular molecular signaling in biological systems whereby a cell (or group of cells) must deliver some message (such as developmental instructions) over distance with reasonable certainty to another cell (or group of cells). Another application area is communication between components of nano/molecular computers. However, the model can also be applied to any communication systems wherein indistinguishable signals have random transit latencies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
