学术讲座：Molecular Communications: Theory, Practice and Challenges

主持人：刘星成教授

Abstract:

Molecular Communications (MC) has been recognized as an attractive solution for information exchange between nano-machines and in nano-scale networks operated in fluid environment. By taking its potential advantages of bio-compatibility and low energy consumption, MC is expected to find a lot of applications in the areas where the operation of conventional electromagnetic based communications is inefficient and/or impractical. Potential applications of MC may include health-care, intelligent drug delivery, environment monitoring, military, industry applications, Internet of Nano Things (IoNT), etc. This tutorial lecture will provide a comprehensive introduction to the state-of-the-art of MC. The fundamentals of MC and the channel modelling, information modulation, transceiver techniques, error-control, multiple-access, etc. in diffusive MC will be addressed. We will emphasize the similarity and difference between MC and the conventional electromagnetic based communications. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities of MC will be discussed.
