Nano-Communication Propagation Channel Model Using Flow and Diffusion

Abstract

Inspired by biological communication systems, nano-communication in particular molecular communication has been proposed as a viable scheme to communicate between nano-sized devices separated by a very short distance. Here, molecules are released by the transmitter into the medium, which are then sensed by the receiver .Thus, this has necessitated the research on the potential applications of nanotechnology in a wide range of nano-networking areas. Nano-networking is a new type of networking which can also be applied to the communication theory. In this paper, a well justified channel propagation model for flow-based nano-characteristic communication channel is considered. The signal propagation model based on the advection and diffusion processes is analyzed. Furthermore, a sound mathematical justification for the linearity and time-variance properties of flow and diffusion based nano-communication channel model is investigated.
