Abstract

Communication between biological based nano scale devices is a crucial component of future applications in nanotechnology. This paper explores the creation of a backbone communication network for nano scale sensors using neurons. We investigate how neuron cell characteristics affect the performance of neuronal based network and highlight several key characteristics compared to conventional wire based networks. Finally, we investigate four network topologies through simulation.
