Advanced Receiver Designs for Bacterial Communication with Amplitude Source Addressing

Abstract

In this work, we focus on the problem of amplitude source addressing in a multiple source single receiver bacterial communication network. Amplitude addressing is an addressing mechanism where the amplitude of transmitted signal is assigned as address of the source. When multiple sources collide, receiver performs interference cancellation and minimizes collision resolution error. We propose two receiver designs for an amplitude addressing system. We show that amplitude-addressing along with an optimum receiver implicitly solves the problem of medium access control.
