Sistema de Comunicação Molecular Multiportadora para Nanorredes Multiusuário
Abstract
Progress in bioengineering and nanotechnology has led to advances in implantable nanomachines. Providing communication among these devices is a requirement and a research challenge. This thesis fulfills the needs of the new nanonetwork paradigm providing the building blocks (coding, error control, and medium access control) for intra-body networks. The building blocks take natural molecular communication as the basis to encode data by concentration of molecules. The central hypothesis in this thesis lies in the power of molecular diversity to improve molecular communication performance with low complexity. Thus, the work characterizes natural molecular communication components and validates the hypothesis, considering an emulated biological cellular tissue environment. The results show that molecular diversity benefits molecular communication in capacity, path loss, and error probability, highlighting the contribution provided by the proposed building blocks.
