Microring stereo sensor model using Kerr–Vernier effect for bio-cell sensor and communication
Publication date: September 2018Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 17Author(s): P. Youplao, N. Pornsuwancharoen, I.S. Amiri, M.A. Jalil, M.S. Aziz, J. Ali, G. Singh, P. Yupapin, K.T.V. GrattanAbstractIn this paper, a micro-stereo sensor is proposed using two-identical Panda-ring resonators, which are coupled by jointed drop ports. When light from the identical coherent sources is fed into the system via the input ports, the coupling outputs are obtained at the drop port at the resonant condition. These are mixed signals in the form of stereo signals. By using different input power between the right and left system...

The Molecular Communications Markup Language (MolComML)
Publication date: Available online 19 March 2018 Source:Nano Communication Networks Author(s): Luca Felicetti, Simon S. Assaf, Mauro Femminella, Gianluca Reali, Eduard Alarcon, Josep Sole-Pareta Molecular 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-discipli...

Coexistence in molecular communications
Publication date: Available online 22 February 2018 Source:Nano Communication Networks Author(s): Malcolm Egan, Trang C. Mai, Trung Q. Duong, Marco Di Renzo Molecular 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...

Molecule-as-a-frame: A frame based communication approach for nanonetworks
Publication date: Available online 21 February 2018 Source:Nano Communication Networks Author(s): Mustafa Can Gursoy, Ali Emre Pusane, Tuna Tugcu Molecular 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 env...
