Diffusion-based and neural communication are two interesting domains in molecular communication. Both of them have distinct advantages and are exploited separately in many works. However, in some cases, neural and diffusion-based ways have…
Diffusion describes the motion of microscopic entities from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration. In multiplex networks, flows can occur both within and across layers, and super-diffusion, a regime where the time…
Water molecules play an important role in providing unique environments for biological reactions on cell membranes. It is widely believed that water molecules form bridges that connect lipid molecules and stabilize cell membranes. Using…
In a molecular communication network, transmitters may encode information in concentration or frequency of signalling molecules. When the signalling molecules reach the receivers, they react, via a set of chemical reactions or a molecular…
