Body Area NanoNetworks with Molecular Communications in Nanomedicine journal download
Abstract-Recent developments in nano and biotechnology enable promising therapeutic nanomachines
(NMs) that operate on inter- or intracellular area
of human body. The networks of such therapeutic
NMs, body area nanonetworks (BAN2s), also
empower sophisticated nanomedicine applications.
In these applications, therapeutic NMs
share information to perform computation and
logic operations, and make decisions to treat
complex diseases. Hence, one of the most challenging
subjects for these sophisticated applications
is the realization of BAN2s through a
nanoscale communication paradigm. In this article,
we introduce the concept of a BAN2 with
molecular communication, where messenger
molecules are used as communication carrier
from a sender to a receiver NM. The current
state of the art of molecular communication and
BAN2 in nanomedicine applications is first presented.
Then communication theoretical efforts
are reviewed, and open research issues are given.
The objective of this work is to introduce this
novel and interdisciplinary research field and
highlight major barriers toward its realization
from the viewpoint of communication theory.
