Abstract
Nanoscale communication based on Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) enables nanomachines to communicate with each other using the excited state of the fluorescent molecules as the information conveyer. In this study, FRET-based nanoscale communication is further extended to realize FRET-based nanoscale broadcast communication with one transmitter and many receiver nanomachines, and the performance of the broadcast channel is analyzed information theoretically. Furthermore, an electrically controllable routing mechanism is proposed exploiting the Quantum Confined Stark Effect (QCSE) observed in quantum dots. It is shown that by appropriately selecting the employed molecules on the communicating nanomachines, it is possible to control the route of the information flow by externally applying electric field in FRET-based nanonetworks.
