Concentration Aware Routing Protocol in Molecular Communication Nanonetworks

Article Preview

Abstract:

A molecular communication nanonetwork is a new distributed computer network which operates at nanoscale. The simplicity of single nanomachine and the new communication paradigm all pose challenges for the development of communication protocols in nanonetworks. In this paper, a new architecture of molecular communication nanonetworks is first provided and then on this basis, a concentration aware (CA) routing protocol in nanonetworks is proposed, which utilizes the concentration gradient of diffused molecules to establish the path of data relay in multi-hop nanonetworks. The experimental results show that the CA routing protocol is viable for molecular communication nanonetworks and has an excellent performance about the network load.
