Abstract

Synthetic molecular communications (SMC), as one of the most promising communication paradigms for nano-networks, is expected to advance many revolutionary areas. Many of the envisioned applications of SMC are in micro-scale. However, the state-of-the-art SMC testbeds reported in the literature are mostly in macro-scale. The lack of micro-scale communication testbeds is its key technology hindrance. To solve this issue, we propose a micro-scale SMC receiver. The proposed micro-scale SMC receiver senses the concentration of information DNA molecules and converts such biological signal into an electric binary signal by electrochemical reaction. To examine the effectiveness of the proposed receiver, experiments are performed and verify that the proposed receiver is capable to successfully receive signals with a bit rate of 0.2 bit/min. This work would help SMC to advance from theoretical research towards practical applications.

用于合成DNA分子通信的微型接收器的硬件验证

合成分子通信（SMC）作为最有前途的纳米网络通信模式之一，有望在许多革命性领域取得进展。SMC的许多设想应用都是微观规模的。然而，文献中报道的最先进的SMC试验台大多是宏观规模的。微型通信试验台的缺乏是其关键技术障碍。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种微型SMC接收机。所提出的微米级SMC接收器感测信息DNA分子的浓度，并通过电化学反应将这种生物信号转换为电二元信号。为了检验所提出的接收器的有效性，进行了实验，并验证了所提出的接收机能够成功地接收比特率为0.2比特/分钟的信号。这项工作将有助于SMC从理论研究走向实际应用。

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.
