In this paper we prove that Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and Bit Error Rate (BER) of a Diffusion Based Molecular Communication (DBMC) system depend on the apriori probability of the transmitted data by deriving lower and upper bounds for the number of received molecules. We also compute the optimal value of a-priori probability for which ISI and BER are minimized. A source coding technique, called Modified Inverse Source Coding (MISC), is proposed that allows to control the a-priori probability of the transmitted data. The results show that the MISC-DBMC system not only provides a better BER performance compared to an uncoded one but also improves the range of communication.Index Terms-Diffusive channel, molecular communication, inverse source coding, inter-symbol interference, bit error rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
