Directional transmission in biological nanonetworks via positive Chemotaxis

Published: 25 September 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Biological nanonetworks have unique properties that can be exploited so as to develop relative communication paradigms. The aim of this work is to examine the use of the chemotaxis phenomenon to speed up the delivery of a message by directing bacteria cells towards the node that is the intended destination. Thus, the use of chemotaxis results to a transmission process that resembles that of directional transmission in traditional radio-based wireless environments. We study the way the system evolves by a concentration-dependent message encoding protocol. The results reveal that this new paradigm can successfully enhance the message delivery process in a chemotaxis-based biological nanonetwork.
