Abstract

Nanoscale devices can communicate with one another thanks to a new technology called the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT). However, traditional wireless communication solutions are typically unsuitable or ineffective for the IoNT due to its small size, low energy requirements, and challenging environment. In the promising paradigm of molecular communication, which permits communication among IoNT devices, information is encoded, transmitted, and decoded using the principles of diffusion and chemical reactions. We go over the principles of molecular communication in this lesson and give a case study on how it might be applied to the delivery of medications to human tissue.

We go over the main difficulties involved in using molecular communication for the delivery of medication, such as choosing an appropriate encoding scheme, designing the transmitter and receiver, and streamlining the communication protocol. Along with outlining some possible advantages of this technology, such as increased therapeutic efficacy and fewer side effects, we also take a look at the objectives for future research in this field. The subject of molecular communication in the IoNT and its prospective applications in the healthcare and other industries are introduced in this session in a useful way.
