Molecular Communication in Fluid Media: The Additive Inverse Gaussian Noise Channel

摘要: In this paper, we consider molecular communication, with information conveyed in the time of release molecules. These molecules propagate to transmitter through a fluid medium, propelled by positive drift velocity and Brownian motion. The main contribution paper is development theoretical foundation for such communication system; specifically, additive inverse Gaussian noise (AIGN) channel model. channel, corrupted that follows an IG distribution. We show model appropriate media. Taking advantage available literature on distribution, upper lower bounds capacity are developed, maximum likelihood receiver derived. Results presented which suggest does not have single quality measure analogous signal-to-noise ratio white channel. It also shown use multiple leads reduced error rate manner akin diversity order wireless communications. Finally, some open problems discussed arise from
