Abstract

Molecular communication is expected to be instrumental in the advancement of nanotechnology. Implementation of robust molecular communication channels that work in conjunction with other nanodevices necessitates the development of synchronization techniques for such systems. Although a number of works exist in this area, most of the proposed solutions are infeasible given the computational limitations of the components. In this paper, we propose two related methods within the framework of molecular communication via diffusion (MCvD) paradigm. These methods require only the most basic computational resources. We assess their performance analytically and computationally, indicate the error margins for each one, and discuss when one is more useful than the other.

通过扩散实现分子通信的低复杂度计时方法

分子通讯有望推动纳米技术的发展。要实现与其他纳米器件协同工作的稳健分子通信信道，就必须为此类系统开发同步技术。虽然在这一领域有许多工作，但由于组件的计算限制，大多数建议的解决方案都不可行。在本文中，我们在通过扩散进行分子通讯（MCvD）范式的框架内提出了两种相关方法。这些方法只需要最基本的计算资源。我们对它们的性能进行了分析和计算评估，指出了每种方法的误差范围，并讨论了何时一种方法比另一种方法更有用。

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.
