Abstract

Biological systems transduce signals from their surroundings in numerous ways. This paper introduces a communication system using the light-gated ion channel Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), which causes an ion current to flow in response to light. Our design includes a ChR2-based receiver along with encoding, modulation techniques and detection. Analyzing the resulting communication system, we discuss the effect of different parameters on the performance of the system. Finally, we discuss its potential design in the context of bio-engineering and light-based communication and show that the data rate scales up with the number of receptors, indicating that high-speed communication may be possible.

期刊介绍： As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical “circuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of other new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.
