“…Furthermore, both optical and acoustic communication may not work for the deep sea applications such as transmission of the location of black box in deep ocean, since optical and acoustic communication suffers from high attenuation and long channel multipath limiting the reliable communication in long distances, respectively. In such a scenario, the black box with a universal transceiver can use MC via buoyancy, which uses buoyancy forces for the long-range vertical transmission of information molecules [29], to transmit its location to the surface buoyant machine communicating with the drone network that can provide the rescue team with the knowledge of the disaster area as illustrated in Fig. 3.…”

The Internet of Everything (IoE) is a recently introduced information and communication technology (ICT) framework promising for extending the human connectivity to the entire universe, which itself can be regarded as a natural IoE, an interconnected network of everything we perceive. The countless number of opportunities that can be enabled by IoE through a blend of heterogeneous ICT technologies across different scales and environments and a seamless interface with the natural IoE impose several fundamental challenges, such as interoperability, ubiquitous connectivity, energy efficiency, and miniaturization.The key to address these challenges is to advance our communication technology to match the multi-scale, multi-modal, and dynamic features of the natural IoE. To this end, we introduce a new communication device concept, namely the universal IoE transceiver, that encompasses transceiver architectures that are characterized by multi-modality in communication (with modalities such as molecular, RF/THz, optical and acoustic) and in energy harvesting (with modalities such as mechanical, solar, biochemical), modularity, tunability, and scalability. Focusing on these fundamental traits, we provide an overview of the opportunities that can be opened up by micro/nanoscale universal transceiver architectures towards realizing the IoE applications. We also discuss the most pressing challenges in implementing such transceivers and briefly review the open research directions. Our discussion is particularly focused on the opportunities and challenges pertaining to the IoE physical layer, which can enable the efficient and effective design of higher-level techniques. We believe that such universal transceivers can pave the way for seamless connection and communication with the universe at a deeper level and pioneer the construction of the forthcoming IoE landscape.

“…Furthermore, both optical and acoustic communication may not work for the deep sea applications such as transmission of the location of black box on deep ocean floor, since optical and acoustic communication suffers from high attenuation and long channel multipath limiting the reliable communication in long distances, respectively. In such a scenario, the black box with a universal transceiver can use MC via buoyancy, which is a recently introduced delay-tolerant method for the deep sea applications (Guo et al, 2020), to transmit its location to the surface buoyant machine vertically. In MC via buoyancy, the injected information-carrying liquid, which is lighter than the ambient, is propelled by the buoyancy forces after losing the initial inertia force (Guo et al, 2020).…”

In MC via buoyancy, the injected information-carrying liquid, which is lighter than the ambient, is propelled by the buoyancy forces after losing the initial inertia force (Guo et al, 2020). Thus, when the buoyancy force is stronger than the horizontal ocean currents, buoyancybased MC links are suitable.…”

The Internet of Bio-nano Things is a significant development for next generation communication technologies. Because conventional wireless communication technologies face challenges in realizing new applications (e.g., in-body area networks for health monitoring) and necessitate the substitution of information carriers, researchers have shifted their interest to molecular communications (MC). Although remarkable progress has been made in this field over the last decade, advances have been far from acceptable for the achievement of its application objectives. A crucial problem of MC is the low data rate and high error rate inherent in particle dynamics specifications, in contrast to wave-based conventional communications. Therefore, it is important to investigate the resources by which MC can obtain additional information paths and provide strategies to exploit these resources. This study aims to examine techniques involving resource aggregation and exploitation to provide prospective directions for future progress in MC. In particular, we focus on state-of-the-art studies on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We discuss the possible advantages of applying MIMO to various MC system models. Furthermore, we survey various studies that aimed to achieve MIMO gains for the respective models, from theoretical background to prototypes. Finally, we conclude this study by summarizing the challenges that need to be addressed.
