In molecular communication via diffusion (MCvD), the inter-symbol interference (ISI) is a well known severe problem that deteriorates both data rates and link reliability. ISI mainly occurs due to the slow and highly random propagation of the messenger molecules, which causes the emitted molecules from the previous symbols to interfere with molecules from the current symbol. An effective way to mitigate the ISI is using enzymes to degrade undesired molecules. Prior work on ISI mitigation by enzymes has assumed an infinite amount of enzymes randomly distributed around the molecular channel. Taking a different approach, this paper assumes an MCvD channel with a limited amount of enzymes. The main question this paper addresses is how to deploy these enzymes in an effective structure so that ISI mitigation is maximized. To find an effective MCvD channel environment, this study considers optimization of the shape of the transmitter node, the deployment location and structure, the size of the enzyme deployed area, and the half-lives of the enzymes. It also analyzes the dependence of the optimum size of the enzyme area on the distance and half-life.

In molecular communication, the heavy tail nature of molecular signals causes inter-symbol interference (ISI). Because of this, it is difficult to decrease symbol periods and achieve high data rate. As a probable solution for ISI mitigation, enzymes were proposed to be used since they are capable of degrading ISI molecules without deteriorating the molecular communication. While most prior work has assumed an infinite amount of enzymes deployed around the channel, from a resource perspective, it is more efficient to deploy a limited amount of enzymes at particular locations and structures. This paper considers carrying out such deployment at two structures--around the receiver (Rx) and/or the transmitter (Tx) site. For both of the deployment scenarios, channels with different system environment parameters, Tx-to-Rx distance, size of enzyme area, and symbol period, are compared with each other for analyzing an optimized system environment for ISI mitigation when a limited amount of enzymes are available.
Molecular communication is a new field of communication where molecules are used to transfer information. Among the proposed methods, molecular communication via diffusion (MCvD) is particularly effective. One of the main challenges in MCvD is the in tersymbol interference (ISI), which inhibits communication at high data rates. Furthermore, at the nano scale, energy efficiency becomes an essential problem. Before addressing these problems, a pre-determined threshold for the received signal must be calculated to make a decision. In this paper, an analytical technique is proposed to determine the optimum threshold, whereas in the literature, these thresholds are generally calculated empirically. Since the main goal of this paper is to build an MCvD system suitable for operating at high data rates without sacrificing quality, new modulation and filtering techniques are proposed to decrease the effects of ISI and enhance energy efficiency. As a transmitter-based solution, a modulation technique for MCvD, molecular transition shift keying (MTSK), is proposed in order to increase the data rate via suppressing the ISI. Furthermore, for energy efficiency, a power adjustment technique that utilizes the residual molecules is proposed. Finally, as a receiver-based solution, a new energy efficient decision feedback filter (DFF) is proposed as a substitute for the decoders such as minimum mean squared error (MMSE) and decision feedback equalizer (DFE). The error performance of DFF and MMSE equalizers are compared in terms of bit error rates, and it is concluded that DFF may be more advantageous when energy efficiency is concerned, due to its lower computational complexity.
In this work, spatial diversity techniques in the area of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) diffusion-based molecular communications (DBMC) are investigated. For transmitter-side spatial coding, Alamouti-type coding and repetition MIMO coding are proposed and analyzed. At the receiver-side, selection diversity, equal-gain combining, and maximum-ratio combining are studied as combining strategies. Throughout the numerical analysis, a symmetrical $2times 2$ MIMO-DBMC system is assumed. Furthermore, a trained artificial neural network is utilized to acquire the channel impulse responses. The numerical analysis demonstrates that it is possible to achieve a diversity gain in molecular communications. In addition, it is shown that for MIMO-DBMC systems repetition MIMO coding is superior to Alamouti-type coding.
In this paper, we address inter-beam inter-cell interference mitigation in 5G networks that employ millimeter-wave (mmWave), beamforming and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques. Those techniques play a key role in improving network capac ity and spectral efficiency by multiplexing users on both spatial and power domains. In addition, the coverage area of multiple beams from different cells can intersect, allowing more flexibility in user-cell association. However, the intersection of coverage areas also implies increased inter-beam inter-cell interference, i.e. interference among beams formed by nearby cells. Therefore, joint user-cell association and inter-beam power allocation stand as a promising solution to mitigate inter-beam, inter-cell interference. In this paper, we consider a 5G mmWave network and propose a reinforcement learning algorithm to perform joint user-cell association and inter-beam power allocation to maximize the sum rate of the network. The proposed algorithm is compared to a uniform power allocation that equally divides power among beams per cell. Simulation results present a performance enhancement of 13-30% in networks sum-rate corresponding to the lowest and highest traffic loads, respectively.
For nano-scale communications, there must be cooperation and simultaneous communication between nano devices. To this end, in this paper we investigate two-way (a.k.a. bi-directional) molecular communications between nano devices. If different types of molecules are used for the communication links, the two-way system eliminates the need to consider self-interference. However, in many systems, it is not feasible to use a different type of molecule for each communication link. Thus, we propose a two-way molecular communication system that uses a single type of molecule. We develop a channel model for this system and use it to analyze the proposed systems bit error rate, throughput, and self-interference. Moreover, we propose analog- and digital- self-interference cancellation techniques. The enhancement of link-level performance using these techniques is confirmed with both numerical and analytical results.
