An information theoretical approach for molecular communication

Distance Estimation Schemes for Diffusion Based Molecular Communication Systems

“…Diffusion based molecular communications (DMC) is a promising paradigm, which is accomplished by means of the diffusion of molecules among nano-machines [1]. At the transmitter nano-machine (TN), molecules are encoded with information, released into the surrounding environment, and diffuse to the receiver nano-machine (RN) to enable the exchange of messages.…”

Molecular Versus Electromagnetic Wave Propagation Loss in Macro-Scale Environments

“…Over the past decade, a growing body of significant molecular communication research has been devoted to a wide range of: channel modeling [5] and telecommunication system design [6], [7], information theory [8], [9], sensor and circuit design [10]. A number of metrics are needed to gauge the performance of an entire new species of communications.…”

Simulating the performance of SW-ARQ schemes within molecular communications

“…1, the system consists of two nanomachines acting in a way that is analogous to biological entities [10]. One nanomachine, acting as a transmitter, Tx, communicates to the receiver, Rx, via the diffusion of uniquely identifiable transmission molecules [11], such as those encoded via a natural ligand-receptor binding mechanism [12]. It is further assumed that the molecules used to transmit packets with index I do not interfere with molecules for the corresponding ACKs with index I (otherwise known as pheromone diversity [13]).…”
