A Vertical Channel Model of Molecular Communication based on Alcohol Molecules
The study of Molecular Communication(MC) is more and more prevalence, and
channel model of MC plays an important role in the MC System. Since different
propagation environment and modulation techniques produce different channel
model, most of the research about MC are in horizontal direction,but in nature
the communications between nano machines are in short range and some of the
information transportation are in the vertical direction, such as transpiration
of plants, biological pump in ocean, and blood transportation from heart to
brain. Therefore, this paper we propose a vertical channel model which
nano-machines communicate with each other in the vertical direction based on
pure diffusion. We first propose a vertical molecular communication model, we
mainly considered the gravity as the factor, though the channel model is also
affected by other main factors, such as the flow of the medium, the distance
between the transmitter and the receiver, the delay or sensitivity of the
transmitter and the receiver. Secondly, we set up a test-bed for this vertical
channel model, in order to verify the difference between the theory result and
the experiment data. At last, we use the data we get from the experiment and
the non-linear least squares method to get the parameters to make our channel
model more accurate.Comment: 5 pages,7 figures, Accepted for presentation at BICT 2015 Special
