Mutual Information and Noise Distributions of Molecular Signals Using Laser Induced Fluorescence

Kolmogorov Turbulence and Information Dissipation in Molecular Communication

“…The expression in (10) warrants a comment. In conventional diffusion-based MC, at nano scales, the variations of the concentration C 2 is ordinarily regarded as resulting from random noise with constant probability distribution [1], [35]. Similarly, in steady homogeneous isotropic turbulence the statistics of the noise of the channel would not change with location such that C 2 would also remain constant.…”

Molecular Signal Tracking and Detection Methods in Fluid Dynamic Channels

“…[4], [9] to measure the information rate in turbulent and laminar channel flows and to characterize the noise model in these channels. In particular, the setup in [4] uses the PIV method, whereas the PLIF method is applied in [9]. Here, we discuss more general aspects of the equipment and of the experimental procedures such that corresponding studies can be reproduced more easily and reliably elsewhere.…”

“…Extracting both the additive and jitter noise distribution can be conducted and further analysis of the mutual information can be conducted to understand the optimal transmission strategy to maximize the mutual information. Our technical paper in [9] details how these methods are applied in characterizing the noise model in a turbulent channel. As the first example, here we show how to characterise the noise using the PLIF images.…”

“…Experimental molecular communications (MC) is critical for a number of research sectors, including: channel characterization [1]- [5], noise characterization for mutual information analysis [6]- [9], and system design (e.g. receiver size, mobility [8]).…”

Signal Detection for Molecular MIMO Communications With Asymmetrical Topology

“…In the biological world, oxygen, carbon dioxide and benzene molecules can pass through the cell membrane by passive transport [25,Chapter 2]. Moreover, in [26], planar laser induced fluorescence and high-speed cameras are used to obtain the information strength at the reception side without influencing the propagation of molecules. So in this paper, we assume that all the reception antennas have spherical shapes with radius r and are considered as "passive" antennas which can count the number of the molecules without influencing the motion of them [27]- [30].…”
