Improving Diffusion-Based Molecular Communication with Unanchored Enzymes

چکیده
In this paper, we propose adding enzymes to the propagation environment of a diffusive molecular communication system as a strategy for mitigating intersymbol interference. The enzymes form reaction intermediates with information molecules and then degrade them so that they have a smaller chance of interfering with future transmissions. We present the reaction-diffusion dynamics of this proposed system and derive a lower bound expression for the expected number of molecules observed at the receiver. We justify a particle-based simulation framework, and present simulation results that show both the accuracy of our expression and the potential for enzymes to improve communication

Improving reliability performance of diffusion-based molecular communication with adaptive threshold variation algorithm
In this work, we investigate the communication reliability for diffusion-based molecular communication, using the indicator of bit error rate (BER). A molecular classified model is established to divide molecules into three parts, which are the signal, inter-symbol interference (ISI) and noise. We expand each part separately using molecular absorbing probability, and connect them by a tradition...
متن کاملMathematical Foundations for Information Theory in Diffusion-Based Molecular Communications
Molecular communication emerges as a promising communication paradigm for nanotechnology. However, solid mathematical foundations for information-theoretic analysis of molecular communication have not yet been built. In particular, no one has ever proven that the channel coding theorem applies to molecular communication, and no relationship between information rate capacity (maximum mutual info...
متن کاملMolecular Communication Model for Targeted Drug Delivery in Multiple Disease Sites With Diversely Expressed Enzymes.
Targeted drug delivery (TDD) for disease therapy using liposomes as nanocarriers has received extensive attention in the literature. The liposome's ability to incorporate capabilities such as long circulation, stimuli responsiveness, and targeting characteristics, makes it a versatile nanocarrier. Timely drug release at the targeted site requires that trigger stimuli such as pH, light, and enzy...
متن کاملEffective inter-symbol interference mitigation with a limited amount of enzymes in molecular communications
In molecular communication via diffusion (MCvD), the inter-symbol interference (ISI) is a well known severe problem that deteriorates both data rates and link reliability. ISI mainly occurs due to the slow and highly random propagation of the messenger molecules, which causes the emitted molecules from the previous symbols to interfere with molecules from the current symbol. An effective way to...
