Abstract

Nanonetworks comprise multiple nanomachines operating in the same way to perform coordinated tasks, such as detecting types of cancer and smart drug delivery in the body. Molecular communication (MC) uses molecules as information carriers between hybrid nanomachines. Synchronization is a critical issue, as multi-user interference causes errors or failures in communication, besides severe computational and communication limitations, being essentially unidirectional. This article presents the first synchronization protocol between nanomachines for cell signaling-based MC considering multi-user communication. The protocol signaling occurs by pulse resonance. The results show that the proposed protocol converges with low cost of messages.
