Outline of Final Research Achievements

Molecular communication is an emerging communication paradigm for bio-nanomachines that is inspired by how biological cells in nature communicate. In this project, we aimed to establish molecular communication as a communication technology, and conducted range of research to address physical layer issues to application designs in molecular communication. We first developed a reference architecture of molecular communication with a set of communication protocols. We then developed mathematical models and computer simulation models to analyze the performance of molecular communication systems. We further designed an application of molecular communication, and investigated its behavior using an integrated approach of computer simulations and wet-laboratory experiments.
