    Recent developments in nano and biotechnology enable promising therapeutic nanomachines (NMs) that operate on inter-or intracellular area of human body. The networks of such therapeutic NMs, body area nanonetworks (BAN(2)s), also empower sophisticated nanomedicine applications. In these applications, therapeutic NMs share information to perform computation and logic operations, and make decisions to treat complex diseases. Hence, one of the most challenging subjects for these sophisticated applications is the realization of BAN(2)s through a nanoscale communication paradigm. In this article, we introduce the concept of a BAN(2) with molecular communication, where messenger molecules are used as communication carrier from a sender to a receiver NM. The current state of the art of molecular communication and BAN(2) in nanomedicine applications is first presented. Then communication theoretical efforts are reviewed, and open research issues are given. The objective of this work is to introduce this novel and interdisciplinary research field and highlight major barriers toward its realization from the viewpoint of communication theory.

    Nanons: a nanoscale network simulator framework for molecular communications
    (Elsevier, 2010) Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; N/A; N/A; Akan, Özgür Barış; Atakan, Barış; Gül, Ertan; Faculty Member; PhD Student; N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; N/A; 6647; N/A; N/A
    A number of nanomachines that cooperatively communicate and share molecular information in order to achieve specific tasks is envisioned as a nanonetwork. Due to the size and capabilities of nanomachines, the traditional communication paradigms cannot be used for nanonetworks in which network nodes may be composed of just several atoms or molecules and scale on the orders of few nanometers. Instead, molecular communication is a promising solution approach for the nanoscale communication paradigm. However, molecular communication must be thoroughly investigated to realize nanoscale communication and nanonetworks for many envisioned applications such as nanoscale body area networks, and nanoscale molecular computers. In this paper, a simulation framework (NanoNS) for molecular nanonetworks is presented. The objective of the framework is to provide a simulation tool in order to create a better understanding of nanonetworks and facilitate the development of new communication techniques and the validation of theoretical results. The NanoNS framework is built on top of core components of a widely used network simulator (ns-2). It incorporates the simulation modules for various nanoscale communication paradigms based on a diffusive molecular communication channel. The details of NanoNS are discussed and some functional scenarios are defined to validate NanoNS. In addition to this, the numerical analyses of these functional scenarios and their experimental results are presented. The validation of NanoNS is shown via comparative evaluation of these experimental and numerical results. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

    Bio-inspired cross-layer communication and coordination in sensor and vehicular actor networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012) N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Atakan, Barış; Akan, Özgür Barış; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; 6647
    In this paper, based on the prey model in foraging theory, the BIO-inspired Cross-layer (BIOX) communication and coordination protocol is introduced for wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs). BIOX permits each sensor node to autonomously determine its next-hop selection and channel access strategy using bio-inspired next-hop selection and channel access profitability measures. Based on these profitability measures, BIOX provides optimal performance in energy-efficient and reliable sensor-actor communication. Furthermore, using task allocation profitability measure, BIOX also guarantees stable allocation of available tasks in a way that each task is accomplished by an actor node within a bounded time delay. Performance evaluations reveal that BIOX significantly prolongs the network lifetime while providing highly reliable sensor-actor communication and effective task allocation for actor nodes.

    Distributed audio sensing with homeostasis-inspired autonomous communication
    (Elsevier, 2011) Atakan, Barış; Akan, Özgür Barış; PhD Student; Faculty Member; College of Engineering
    Emerging applications of wireless sensor networks (WSN) requiring wide-band event signal communication such as multimedia surveillance sensor networks impose additional challenges including high communication bandwidth requirement and energy cost. Besides their partially or fully dependency on feedback messages from sink node, the existing protocols designed for WSN do not address the communication of wide-band event signals. Furthermore, the feedback messages may not reach in time to provide reliable communication of event information and save scarce network resources. Therefore, an autonomous communication protocol is imperative in order to provide wide-band event signal communication without any feedback from the sink. In nature, biological systems have self-organization capability, i.e., homeostasis, as they autonomously maintain a relatively stable equilibrium state for operation of vital functions. Hence, this natural phenomenon clearly gives promising inspirations in order to develop autonomous and efficient communication models and protocols for WSN domain. In this paper, the homeostasis-inspired autonomous communication (HAC) protocol is introduced for wireless audio sensor networks (WASN). Using the spectral properties of the wide-band event signal, i.e., audio signal, HAC enables WASN to maintain a relatively stable state in which sensor nodes reliably and energy-efficiently communicate the event signal to the sink node. Furthermore, with its self-organization capability, HAC does not rely on any feedback message from the sink node. Performance evaluations reveal that HAC successfully communicates wide-band event signal with minimum energy expenditure.

    Nanoscale communication with molecular arrays in nanonetworks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012) Galmes, Sebastia; Atakan, Barış; Akan, Özgür Barış; PhD Student; Faculty Member; College of Engineering
    Molecular communication is a promising nanoscale communication paradigm that enables nanomachines to exchange information by using molecules as communication carrier. Up to now, the molecular communication channel between a transmitter nanomachine (TN) and a receiver nanomachine (RN) has been modeled as either concentration channel or timing channel. However, these channel models necessitate exact time synchronization of the nanomachines and provide a relatively low communication bandwidth. In this paper, the Molecular ARray-based COmmunication (MARCO) scheme is proposed, in which the transmission order of different molecules is used to convey molecular information without any need for time synchronization. The MARCO channel model is first theoretically derived, and the intersymbol interference and error probabilities are obtained. Based on the error probability, achievable communication rates are analytically obtained. Numerical results and performance comparisons reveal that MARCO provides significantly higher communication rate, i.e., on the scale of 100 Kbps, than the previously proposed molecular communication models without any need for synchronization. More specifically, MARCO can provide more than 250 Kbps of molecular communication rate if intersymbol time and internode distance are set to 2 mu s and 2 nm, respectively.

    Mobile ad hoc nanonetworks with collision-based molecular communication
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012) Atakan, Barış; Akan, Özgür Barış; Master Student; PhD Student; College of Engineering
    Recent developments in nanotechnology have enabled the fabrication of nanomachines with very limited sensing, computation, communication, and action capabilities. The network of communicating nanomachines is envisaged as nanonetworks that are designed to accomplish complex tasks such as drug delivery and health monitoring. For the realization of future nanonetworks, it is essential to develop novel and efficient communication and networking paradigms. In this paper, the first step toward designing a mobile ad hoc molecular nanonetwork (MAMNET) with electrochemical communication is taken. MAMNET consists of mobile nanomachines and infostations that share nanoscale information using electrochemical communication whenever they have a physical contact with each other. In MAMNET, the intermittent connectivity introduced by the mobility of nanomachines and infostations is a critical issue to be addressed. An analytical framework that incorporates the effect of mobility into the performance of electrochemical communication among nanomachines is presented. Using the analytical model, numerical analysis for the performance evaluation of MAMNET is obtained. Results reveal that MAMNET achieves adequately high throughput to enable frontier nanonetwork applications with acceptable communication latency.
