Abstract

This chapter comes up with a brief overview of molecular communication models and modulation techniques by reviewing current research works found in the literature. The chapter also provides with an analysis of molecular communication in free diffusion-based molecular communication channel. In this model, the trasmitter nanomachine releases messenger molecules, the molecules diffuse through the channel, and the receiver nanomachine counts the received molecules to decode the information. We consider free diffusion of molecules where no additional force is required. Such a channel is referred to as the diffusion channel and can be modeled by using Ficks law of diffusion. Diffusion coefficient describes the tendency of propagation of the messenger molecules through the medium. Analysis shows that, channel memory offers a significant impact on performance.
