Joint Optimizations of Relays Locations and Decision Threshold for Multi-Hop Diffusive Mobile Molecular Communication
Abstract:
In this paper, we study diffusive multi-hop mobile molecular communication (MMC) with drift in one-dimensional channel by adopting amplify-and-forward (AF) relay strategy. Multiple and single molecules type are used in each hop to transmit information, respectively. Under these two cases, the mathematical expressions of average bit error probability (BEP) of this system based on AF scheme are derived. We implement joint optimization problem whose objective is to minimize the average BEP with (Q + 2) optimization variables including (Q + 1) -hop distance ratios and decision threshold. Q is the number of relay nodes. Furthermore, considering that more optimization variables result in higher computation complexity, we use efficient algorithm which is adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) to solve the optimization problems to search the location of each relay node and the decision threshold at destination node simultaneously. Finally, the numerical results reveal that AGA has a faster convergence speed and it is more efficient with fewer iterations compared with Bisection algorithm. The performances of average BEP with optimal distance ratio of each hop and decision threshold are evaluated. These results can be used to design multi-hop MMC system with optimal optimization variables and lower average BEP.
