“…The data transmission samples were generated using the default testbed parameters (10 mL/min background flow rate, 50 mm long transmission channel, 1.52 mm tube diameter) and the micropump to achieve the modulated injections. The micropump was operated at 250 V and 70 Hz and the injection cannula was fitted with an additional one-way check valve (Darwin Microfluidics) to reduce unwanted back-flow during transmission pauses (see [25] for further details). The various testbed parameters and essential components used for the data transmission samples are listed in Tab.…”

<p>Testbeds play an essential role in the development of real-life molecular communication applications and experimental validation of communication channel models. Although some testbed concepts have been published in recent years, very few setups are inherently suitable for biomedical applications. Furthermore, systematic experimental data of a wide parameter field for molecular communication is scarce and often difficult to generate. In this work, a biocompatible testbed for molecular communication with magnetic nanoparticles is used to investigate a series of transmission channel parameters. The observed results are discussed in the context of a laminar flow channel. All experimental data regarding the parameter studies as well as an additional data set for a large binary transmission sequence is provided as a supplement to this publication. The data is available on a public server to allow for further use by other researchers.</p>

“…The work presented here is based on a testbed using SPIONs in a background flow of water, published in [25]. In previous work, SPIONs were detected at the receiver using either inductive setups with wire-wound coils [26]- [28] or a capacitance sensor [29].…”

Signal processing over the molecular domain is critical for analysing, modifying, and synthesising chemical signals in molecular communication systems. However, the lack of chemical signal processing blocks and the wide use of electronic devices to process electrical signals in existing molecular communication platforms can hardly meet the biocompatible, non-invasive, and size-miniaturised requirements of applications in various fields, e.g., medicine, biology, and environment sciences. To tackle this, here we design and construct a liquid-based microfluidic molecular communication platform for performing chemical concentration signal processing and digital signal transmission over distances. By specifically designing chemical reactions and microfluidic geometry, the transmitter of our platform is capable of shaping the emitted signals, and the receiver is able to threshold, amplify, and detect the chemical signals after propagation. By encoding bit information into the concentration of sodium hydroxide, we demonstrate that our platform can achieve molecular signal modulation and demodulation functionalities, and reliably transmit text messages over long distances. This platform is further optimised to maximise data rate while minimising communication error. The presented methodology for real-time chemical signal processing can enable the implementation of signal processing units in biological settings and then unleash its potential for interdisciplinary applications.
