Abstract :
We consider anomalous diffusion to model a molecular communication channel. To account for general and practical molecular propagation, we use the fractional diffusion equation and derive the distribution of first passage time in terms of Fox´s H-function. We then analyze the bit error rate for timing and amplitude binary modulation schemes in anomalous diffusion.
