A molecular communication system using a network of cytoskeletal filaments

摘要

We have proposed Molecular Communication, a solution for nano-scale communication between nanomachines (e.g., biological molecules, artificial devices). Molecular communication provides a mechanism for one nanomachine to encode or decode information into molecules (information molecules) and to send the information molecules to another nanomachine. Using molecular communication to control communication between nanomachines is inspired by the observation of biological systems which already commonly communicate through molecules. This paper describes the design of a molecular communication system that uses molecular motors and rail molecules (such as microtubules) as a basis for the high-level architecture of molecular communication.
