Abstract

For the realization of future nanonetwork applications in the domain of medicine such as health monitoring and targeted drug delivery, a molecular communication protocol (MCP) for interconnecting nanomachines should be addressed. In this paper, an efficient molecular communication protocol (MCP) in the molecular network layer is introduced. MCP is inspired of the diffusion property in the neuron system in order to model the biological communication among nanomachines. According to enzymatic kinetic, MCP-based feedback scheme (positive or negative), is able to adjust the transmission rate to achieve the maximum throughput and efficiency. Subsequently, we propose a propagation model based on the epidemic routing and the characteristic of ad hoc network to obtain a closed-form expression of average message delay and tolerant traffic rate. The numerical results reveal that the proposed MCP is able to maximize the minimum throughput and efficiency of molecular transmission.
