Epidemic Information Dissemination for Molecular Communication among Mobile Bio-nanomachines

Abstract

Epidemic information dissemination is one of the promising techniques for delivering messages in sparse mobile networks. This paper proposes an epidemic information dissemination method for molecular communication among mobile bio-nanomachines. We first develop a model of the proposed epidemic information dissemination method by which mobile bio-nanomachines migrate and propagate messages in a mobile molecular communication network. We then perform numerical experiments to show the performance of the proposed method in terms of message delivery latency.
