分子通信研究综述

Review on molecular communication

基于生物启发的分子通信是一种以生物化学分子作为信息载体、用于互联纳米机器以组成分布式纳米网络的通信技术。归纳了分子通信的定义和特性,以及基于分子通信纳米网络的应用领域和国内外相关领域的重要科研活动与项目;介绍了分子通信的系统结构,其中重点描述了信息分子的传输机制;分别从系统的设计与实现、理论研究和基于分子通信的纳米网络技术3个方向总结和分析了分子通信的研究与发展现状,并展望了未来的研究方向。

Bio-inspired molecular communication （MC） is a kind of communication technology using biochemical mole- cules as the information carrier and applied to interconnect nano-machines to constitute the distributed nano-networks. The definition and properties of MC, applications of nano-networks based on MC, important research activities and pro- jects of MC were generalized. With particularly concerning the propagating mechanism of information molecules, the architecture of MC system was introduced. From the aspects of the design and implementation of system, theory research and nano-networks based on MC, the status of current research and development of MC was summarized and analyzed, in addition, future research trends was prospected.
