On Performance of SISO Nanonetworks-based Molecular Communications

Mobile ad hoc molecular nanonetwork (MAMNET) introduces a new paradigm for the realization of future nanonetworks. In MAMNET, the transmission of nanoscale information between nanomachine and infostation is based on collision and adhesion process. In this study, we develop a single input single output (SISO) molecular communication system for transmitting nanoscale information. We employ the features of MAMNET, taking into account the electronic structure of the neurotransmitter, which affects the collision and adhesion process. Consequently, we deploy a realistic adhesion process by determining the critical velocity required for two molecules to adhere. The critical velocity is a function of molecule size, hardness, density and inter-molecule near-field interaction. The metrics performance of SISO system is measured in terms of average packet delay, throughput and incurred traffic rate. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed SISO system in the future nanonetworks.
