MOLECULAR COMMUNICATION AND MOLECULAR SIGNALLING- A SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A molecular communication system in body (MoCoBo) and a molecular signaling method (MoSiMe) for communicating information via molecules in a body of an organism with a circulatory system are disclosed. The MoCoBo system includes a transmitter configured to release signaling molecules in the body in a controlled manner to modulate information, and a receiver for receiving data by measuring the quantity of molecules in the body to infer the encoded information, and a communication channel which is a body of an organism with a circulatory system used as the medium through which the signaling molecules travel from the transmitter to the receiver. The MoSiMe method exploits the bodily absorption, distribution, metabolization, and excretion processes to create a signal across the body by controlling the amount of signaling molecules and the time of release so that the receiver will be able to detect and extract the encoded information within it.
