摘要: Molecular communication is one method for among biological nanomachines. Nanomachines are artificial or nano-scale devices that perform simple computation, sensing, actuation. Future applications using nanomachines may require various mechanisms. For example, broadcast primitive transmission from sender to many receivers. In this paper, we discuss preliminary work on designing a molecular system adapted the motor transport mechanism existing in cells. proposed mechanism, releases information molecules, and motors molecules along microtubule filaments receiver up hundreds of micrometers away. This paper describes some possible arrangements simulations evaluate sending molecule The simulation results indicate transports simulated (100nm radius spheres) more quickly than diffusion-only placement receivers at plus-end microtubules lower propagation delay.
