Abstract

The main application of molecular communication (MC) technology is the medical field wherein the communication medium is the blood vessel. This medium is flow-based diffusion MC and the channel capacity plays an important role. Unlike previous literature, we present the performance analysis of the channel capacity for flow based-diffusive molecular communication system. The molecular diffusion process in the flow-based medium is represented by advection diffusion equation wherein the velocity of flow is considered while the receiver is based on the ligand-receptor mechanism. The performance evaluation of proposed channel capacity is evaluated in terms flow   medium velocity, receiver's sensing area and physical size. The numerical results reveal that the proposed approach is useful in the application of drug delivery system (DSS).
