Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aims at integrating inbody-bionanosensor networks into existing telecommunication networks. Inbody-bionanosensor networks consist of biological entities, such as engineered bacteria and artificial cells, that are 1-10 micro meters in scale, and that use chemical signals for communications in human body. Toward reliable communications between biological entities in human body and external interfaces, we need to amplify the chemical signals on which inbody information is encoded since the signals disperse and decay quickly with distance. We applied epidemic routing, which is one of the methods of amplifying signals in telecommunication networks, to the inbody-bionanosensor networks. We conducted simulation experiments to evaluate the communication performance of the proposed method. Furthermore, we designed drug delivery systems and cluster formations as one of the practical applications, and demonstrated its feasibility through simulation experiments.
