ABSTRACT
In this work, we focus on the problem of source addressing in multiple source single receiver bacterial communication network. We propose amplitude-addressing, where the amplitude of transmitted signal is assigned as address of the source. We analyse the performance of the network with different addressing mechanisms and propose an optimum address sequence for a given network design. We also show that amplitude-addressing implicitly solves the problem of medium access control.
