However, due to the high cost and limited availability of advanced micro/nano-scale equipment, most of these works remain purely theoretical, with only a few being examined through experimental platforms. Additionally, the absence of a suitable model for flow-assisted MC-based systems poses another significant challenge. This research focuses on the potential applications of MC technology within the human body. To address the limitations mentioned above, a closed-loop experimental platform based on the human circulatory system is proposed. This platform offers a cost-effective and accessible solution for studying MC systems. The implementation process involves a brief discussion about the circulatory system model. By varying flow rates and the quantity of released information particles, channel impulse responses are obtained. Based on the observed experimental data, the authors have successfully developed a new theoretical model that accurately fits the experimental data. The model demonstrates a strong level of agreement with the observed results.

Therefore, this paper considers and studies a semi-distributed resource block (RB) allocation scheme, in order to achieve a well-balanced trade-off between performance and complexity. In the context of semi-distributed RB allocation scheme, the problem can be decomposed into the subproblem of clustering and the subproblem of cluster-based RB allocation. We first improve the K-means clustering algorithm by employing the Gaussian modified method, which can significantly decrease the number of iterations for carrying out the K-means algorithm as well as the failure possibility of clustering. Then, bat algorithm (BA) is introduced to attack the problem of cluster-based RB allocation. In order to make the original BA applicable to the problem of RB allocation, chaotic sequences are adopted to discretize the initial position of the bats, and simultaneously increase the population diversity of the bats. Furthermore, in order to speed up the convergence of BA, the logarithmic decreasing inertia weight is employed for improving the original BA.

It increases the request probability of recommended contents, reshaping users' contents demand patterns, and improving caching performance. Moreover, considering the heterogeneous network settings, i.e. content retrieval costs vary, the routing design becomes a non-negligible factor on caching performance optimization. On these grounds, the average system cost of D2D-enabled wireless caching networks with multiple BSs is first described. Then the routing strategies are designed together with caching and recommendation policies by minimizing the average cost of these networks. The optimization problem is proven as NP-hard.
