In order to demonstrate and investigate the properties of this system, a simulator was employed and experiments were performed, where bits were transmitted using bacteria release pulses and successfully received at a sensor node. The experiments highlight the value of the chemotaxis phenomenon for augmenting information transfer as well as the influence of the parameters of distance and number of bacteria per pulse on the received signal strength and achievable bit error rate.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130665469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transmission of ultra-short pulses minimizes the probability of collisions due to the very small time that the channel is occupied by each user. However, given that many of the envisioned applications of THz-band communications involve very large node densities, multi-user interference results unavoidably. In this paper, a stochastic model of multi-user interference is developed and experimentally validated. The model takes into account the fact that the interference power at the receiver is not a combination of the received powers from the individual nodes, rather the power of the combination of the signal amplitudes. For this, first, the probability density function (PDF) of the interference generated by one interfering node at the receiver is obtained starting from the PDFs of the pulse received energy and the PDF of the pulse shape. Then, the model is extended to account for multiple nodes which can constructively or destructively interfere. Finally, the developed model is experimentally validated and numerical results are provided.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133098722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, we announce a novel class of spike-based delay loop which enables the pure spike implementation of reservoir computing.

Indeed, the complexity of molecular communications system, involving a massive number of interacting entities, makes scalability a fundamental property of simulators and modeling tools. A sample scenario is that of targeted drug delivery systems, which makes use of biological nanomachines close to a biological target, able to release molecules in a diseased area. The proposed model tackles the time needed for analyzing such a system by the introduction of an equivalent markovian queuing model, which reproduces the aggregate behavior of thousands of receptors spread over the receiver surface. Our results demonstrate that the proposed approach substantially matches simulation results achieved through detailed simulations of a large number of receivers by means of BiNS2 simulator, although the time taken for obtaining the results is order of magnitudes lower than the simulation time. We believe that this model is the precursor of novel models based on similar principles that allow realizing reliable simulations of body-wide systems.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129117463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this frequency range, specific features can provide the possibility to overcome the issues related to the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitation. Apart high molecular absorption, and very high reflection loss that represent main phenomena in THz band, we can derive the characteristics of the channel affected by chirality effects occurring in the propagation medium, specifically, in the case where a Giant Optical Activity is present. This effect is typical of the so-called chiral-metamaterials in (4-10) THz band, and is of stimulating interest particularly for millimeter wireless communications. In this paper, we analyze the behavior of specific parameters of a chiral-metamaterial, like the relative electrical permittivity, magnetic permeability and chirality coefficients, and from that we derive the channel behavior both for Line-of-Sight and No Line-of-Sight propagations. We notice the presence of spectral windows, due to peaks of resonance of chiral parameter. Finally, performances of the chirality-affected channel have been assessed in terms of (i) channel capacity, (ii) propagation delay, and (iii) coherence bandwidth, for different distances.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129900333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
