Summary
Fluid resistance significantly impacts molecular communication (MC) in the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT). Optimal receiver angles maximize molecular reception, while distance creates nonlinear interference patterns.
Area of Science:
- Electrical Engineering
- Computer Science
- Nanotechnology
Background:
- Molecular communication (MC) systems in fluid environments face challenges due to fluid resistance.
- Modeling MC in single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems is complex due to fluid effects and inter-receiver interference.
Purpose of the Study:
- To incorporate fluid resistance into a 3D SIMO model for MC systems.
- To analyze the impact of receiver angles (azimuth and polar) on molecular reception.
- To investigate inter-receiver interference patterns and derive a mathematical expression for received molecules.
Main Methods:
- Developed a three-dimensional SIMO model incorporating fluid resistance.
- Analyzed the influence of receiver angles and inter-receiver distances on molecular transmission.
- Derived mathematical expressions for the number of received molecules.
Main Results:
- Reception efficiency is maximized at specific polar (90°) and azimuth (0°) angles.
- Increasing distance between receivers and transmitters initially increases then decreases received molecules, showing nonlinear interference.
- Spatial arrangement, receiver count, and molecular velocity significantly affect performance.
Conclusions:
- The proposed model accurately predicts molecular reception in fluidic IoNT environments.
- Understanding angular and distance-based interference is crucial for optimizing MC system design.
- Receiver and transmitter positioning are key factors for efficient molecular communication.

Neuronal Communication
3.1K
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, communicate through complex electrochemical signals that underpin all cognitive and bodily functions. This communication is primarily facilitated by a process involving the generation and propagation of an action potential along the axon of the neuron. When the internal electrical charge of a neuron surpasses a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered. This rapid change in voltage travels swiftly along the axon to the...

Propagation of Action Potentials
8.9K
The propagation of an action potential refers to the process by which a nerve impulse, or "action potential," travels along a neuron.
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...

Maximum Power Transfer

Numerous practical applications within engineering disciplines, such as telecommunications, necessitate optimizing power delivery to a connected load. This pursuit, however, entails inherent internal losses, which can either equal or exceed the power supplied to the load. The Thevenin equivalent circuit is helpful in finding the maximum power a linear circuit can deliver to a load. It is assumed in this context that the load resistance can be adjusted.

Electromagnetic Fields

Electric fields generated by static charges, often referred to as electrostatic fields, are characteristically different from electric fields created by time-varying magnetic fields. While the former is a conservative field, implying that no net work is done on a test charge if it goes around in a complete loop in the field, the latter is, by definition, not a conservative field; net work is done, and it is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
