Background:

Mobile molecular communication (MMC) systems show promise for nanoscale applications, especially with anomalous diffusion.
Accurate modeling of anomalous diffusion channels with multiple receivers in MMC is challenging.
Existing analytical methods for channel impulse response (CIR) are limited to normal diffusion and static conditions, failing to adapt to complex, time-varying environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel deep neural network (DNN) based method for predicting the CIR parameters in a 3D MMC system with multiple receivers under anomalous diffusion.
To compare the performance of the proposed DNN model against Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models for CIR prediction in anomalous diffusion scenarios.

Main Methods:

A three-dimensional (3D) mobile molecular communication (MMC) system model with one transmitter and multiple receivers was established.
A deep neural network (DNN) was designed and trained to predict the channel impulse response (CIR) parameters under anomalous diffusion conditions.
The predictive performance of the DNN model was compared with RNN and LSTM models through simulations.

Main Results:

The DNN-based model significantly outperformed both RNN and LSTM models in predicting the CIR parameters across various anomalous diffusion conditions.
The proposed DNN approach demonstrated robust and accurate prediction capabilities for the complex channel characteristics of MMC systems.
Simulation results validated the effectiveness of the DNN model in improving CIR prediction accuracy.

Conclusions:

Deep neural networks offer a powerful and effective approach for modeling anomalous diffusion channels in mobile molecular communication (MMC) systems.
The developed DNN model provides a significant advancement in accurately predicting CIR, crucial for reliable communication in complex nanoscale environments.
This work presents a novel methodology for enhancing channel modeling in MMC systems, particularly those operating under anomalous diffusion conditions.
