Abstract
Advancements in molecular communication (MC) have underscored the importance of bacterial communication, given their frequent use in MC models. Understanding bacterial communication, signaling, and engineering techniques is essential to address their inherent biological variability and enhance these models. Additionally, bacterial computing offers promising applications in environmental monitoring and biological computing networks, significantly boosting adaptability and responsiveness. This paper reviews bacterial communication and computing, linking them to the Internet of Everything (IoE). It explores how bacterial interactions at small scales contribute to universal interconnectedness, thereby strengthening cross-field communication. The review identifies bacterial mechanisms that have the potential to revolutionize traditional communication systems by highlighting their adaptability and response capabilities. Furthermore, the paper introduces the concept of integrated sensing, communication, and computing (ISCC) using bacteria, proposing innovative strategies to improve communication rate, reliability, and system performance. These insights suggest novel research avenues, aiming to advance the understanding and application of bacterial sensing, communication, and computing in MC models. By integrating these capabilities, the paper aims to pave the way for future advancements in both theoretical and practical aspects of MC, contributing to the broader field of interconnected technologies.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues.
A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
