Derivation of maximum nanonode density can pave the way for determining the capacity of ad-hoc nanonetworks. We consider ad-hoc nanonetworks with minimum energy coding (MEC). Maximum nanonode density for reliable communication in an ad-hoc nanonetwork without any medium access control is derived, and density dependent reliability analysis is conducted. Rate-delay-energy tradeoffs are also investigated with achievable rates, with constant codebook size and constant Hamming distance, separately.EngineeringElectrical and electronics engineeringConference proceedinghttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84871951847anddoi=10.1109%2fICC.2012.6364890andpartnerID=40andmd5=c6f4325a26d4af36409b38db56702b27312855706086N/A4870
