The Molecular Communications Markup Language (MolComML)
Publication date: June 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 16Author(s): Luca Felicetti, Simon S. Assaf, Mauro Femminella, Gianluca Reali, Eduard Alarcon, Josep Sole-ParetaAbstractMolecular Communications is a research area which combines the expertise of two main fields of science: biology and engineering. This multidisciplinarity, in addition to being a fruitful strength, makes knowledge exchange between researchers difficult. This issue has led to the definition of a new markup language, named Molecular Communication Markup Language (MolComML). It contributes to the harmonization of cross-disciplinary researc...

Simulation framework for touchable communication on NS3Sim
Publication date: June 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 16Author(s): Yu Zhou, Yifan Chen, Ross D. Murch, Rui Wang, Qingfeng ZhangAbstractA novel communication scheme called touchable communication (TouchCom) in the nanoscale and molecular communication area has been recently proposed. It focuses on the controllable and trackable properties of message carriers. A potential therapeutic application of TouchCom is the targeted delivery of drugs which utilizes physically transient nanobots as vehicles to deliver drug particles. Meanwhile, the IEEE 1906.1 group, an IEEE standards working group for developing a com...

Coexistence in molecular communications
Publication date: June 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 16Author(s): Malcolm Egan, Trang C. Mai, Trung Q. Duong, Marco Di RenzoAbstractMolecular communications is emerging as a technique to support coordination in nanonetworking, particularly in biochemical systems. In complex biochemical systems such as in the human body, it is not always possible to view the molecular communication link in isolation as chemicals in the system may react with chemicals used for the purpose of communication. There are two consequences: either the performance of the molecular communication link is reduced; or the molecular li...

Molecule-as-a-frame: A frame based communication approach for nanonetworks
Publication date: June 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 16Author(s): Mustafa Can Gursoy, Ali Emre Pusane, Tuna TugcuAbstractMolecular communications is a promising communications mechanism to enable information exchange between nano-machines using chemical signals. In molecular communication systems, data is transmitted using messenger molecules instead of electromagnetic carrier waves. In the literature, transmitted message is encoded in the quantity, type, time of release, or other properties of the molecular wave. In this paper, transmitting a complete data frame in a messenger molecule is envisioned by e...

Position-based modulation in molecular communications
Publication date: June 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 16Author(s): Bayram Cevdet Akdeniz, Ali Emre Pusane, Tuna TugcuAbstractMolecular communications via diffusion (MCvD) is a new paradigm that aims establishing communications among nanomachines in a fluidic diffusive channel using messenger molecules. In general, encoding and decoding of messages are done by the number and/or type of the molecules. Concentration Shift Keying (CSK) is the earliest and simplest communication scheme that encodes and decodes information. However, due to the dynamics of diffusion, one of the major challenges in MCvD channels i...

Reception modeling of sphere-to-sphere molecular communication via diffusion
We present their modeling power using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov goodness of fit test and how the modeling performance behaves under diverse deployment parameters. We also discuss the probability of molecule absorption, signal-to-interference ratio, and the advantages of using a reflective sphere transmitter. (Source: Nano Communication Networks)

Deep reinforcement learning: Algorithm, applications, and ultra-low-power implementation
Publication date: June 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 16Author(s): Hongjia Li, Ruizhe Cai, Ning Liu, Xue Lin, Yanzhi WangAbstractIn order to overcome the limitation of traditional reinforcement learning techniques on the restricted dimensionality of state and action spaces, the recent breakthroughs of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in Alpha Go and playing Atari set a good example in handling large state and action spaces of complicated control problems. The DRL technique is comprised of an offline deep neural network (DNN) construction phase and an online deep Q-learning phase. In the offline phase, DNN...

A Spiking Neural Network implemented with Single-Electron Transistors and NoCs
Publication date: September 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 17Author(s): Beatriz dos Santos Pês, Janaina Gonçalves Guimarães, Elder Oroski, Marlio José do Couto BonfimAbstractThis work proposes a Spiking Neural Network, SNN, based on a nanoelectronic spiking neuron – as building block – and a 2D-mesh network-on-chip, NoC — as interconnect architecture. The SNN obtained from the NoC is an alternative for high density architectures, providing reconfigurability, high scalability and low power consumption. A look-up table router was used to connect all units. Further on, the eXclusive-OR, XOR, benc...
