Molecular communication is a novel paradigm that uses molecules as an information carrier to enable nanomachines to communicate with each other, Controlled molecule delivery between two nanomachines is one of the most important challenges which must be addressed to enable the molecular communication. Therefore, it is essential to develop an information theoretical approach to find out communication capacity of the molecular channel. In this paper, we develop an information theoretical approach for capacity of a. molecular channel between two nanomachines. Using the principles of mass action kinetics, we first introduce a molecule delivery model for the molecular communication between two nanomachines called as Transmitter Nanomachine (TN) and Receiver Nanomachine (RN). Then, we derive a closed form expression for capacity of the channel between TN and RN. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive Molecular Error Compensation (MEC) scheme for the molecular communication between TN and RN. MEC allows TN to select an appropriate molecular bit transmission probability to maximize molecular communication capacity with respect to environmental factors such as temperature and distance between nanomachines. Numerical analysis show that selecting appropriate molecular communication parameters such as concentration of emitted molecules, duration of molecule emission, and molecular bit transmission probability it can be possible to achieve. high molecular communication capacity for the molecular communication channel between two nanomachines. Moreover, the numerical analysis reveals that MEC provides more than % 100 capacity improvement in the molecular communication selecting the most appropriate molecular transmission probability.

Single and Multiple-Access Channel Capacity in Molecular Nanonetworks
Atakan, Baris; Akan, Ozgur B. (2009-10-20)
Molecular communication is a new nano-scale communication paradigm that enables nanomachines to communicate with each other by emitting molecules to their surrounding environment. Nanonetworks are also envisioned to be composed of a number of nanomachines with molecular communication capability that are deployed in an environment to share specific molecular information such as odor, flavour, light, or any chemical state. In this paper, using the principles of natural ligand-receptor binding mechanisms in bi...

Monte Carlo Analysis of Molecule Absorption Probabilities in Diffusion-Based Nanoscale Communication Systems with Multiple Receivers
ARIFLER, DOGU; Arifler, Dizem (2017-04-01)
For biomedical applications of nanonetworks, employing molecular communication for information transport is advantageous over nano-electromagnetic communication: molecular communication is potentially biocompatible and inherently energy-efficient. Recently, several studies have modeled receivers in diffusion-based molecular communication systems as "perfectly monitoring" or "perfectly absorbing" spheres based on idealized descriptions of chemoreception. In this paper, we focus on perfectly absorbing receive...
Engineering nonlinear response of nanomaterials using Fano resonances
Turkpence, Deniz; Akguc, Gursoy B.; Bek, Alpan; Taşgın, Mehmet Emre (IOP Publishing, 2014-10-01)
We show that nonlinear optical processes of nanoparticles can be controlled by the presence of interactions with a molecule or a quantum dot. By choosing the appropriate level spacing for the quantum emitter, one can either suppress or enhance the nonlinear frequency conversion. We reveal the underlying mechanism for this effect, which is already observed in recent experiments: (i) suppression occurs simply because transparency induced by Fano resonance does not allow an excitation at the converted frequenc...
A physical channel model and analysis of nanoscale neuro-spike communication
Balevi, Eren; Akan, Özgür Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Nanoscale communication is appealing domain in nanotechnology. There are many existing nanoscale communication methods. In addition to these, novel techniques can be derived depending on the naturally existing phenomena such as molecular communication. It uses molecules as an information carrier such as molecular motors, pheromones and neurotransmitters for neuro-spike communication. Among them, neuro-spike communication is a vastly unexplored area. The ultimate goal of this thesis is to accurately investig...
