Design and Evaluation of Self-Assembled Actin-Based Nano-Communication

摘要

The tremendous progress in nanotechnology over the last century, makes it possible to engineer tiny nanodevices, which they need a nano-communication network to interact. Two solutions are proposed in literature to create a nano-communication system, either by using the classical electromagnetic paradigm with Terahertz band, or using the bio-inspired molecular communication. However, Terahertz is suffering from molecular absorption and scattering losses at nano level, and the achievable throughput of molecular communication is very low. In this paper, we propose a new solution to establish a wired nano-communication. Self-assembled actin-based is a new method that takes advantage of actin filaments self-assembly to create a nano wire between a transmitter and a receiver, and use electrons as information carriers. VPython framework is used in this paper to perform stochastic simulations of the nano wire formation. The algorithms used for the simulations are presented. The stability of the constructed nano wire is analyzed, and the error probability is calculated. Self-assembled actin-based method promises a fast and stable nano-communication system with a very high achievable throughput.
