Mobile ad hoc molecular nanonetwork (MAMNET) is a new paradigm for the realisation of future nanonetworks. In MAMNET, transmission of nanoscale information from nanomachine to infostation is based on collision and adhesion. In this study, the authors develop a realistic framework for encompassing the electronic structure of the neurotransmitter in the process of transmitting nanoscale information at a single input single output nanonetwork. Nanonetwork performance is evaluated in terms of average packet delay, throughput and incurred traffic rate. Numerical results demonstrate the influence of the neurotransmitter's electronic structure over the performance of nanonetworks.

Inspired by wireless communication systems, we propose a feasible downlink/uplink biocyber interface for the expected targeted drug delivery system based on Internet of Biological NanoThing (IoBNT) paradigm. The downlink/uplink biocyber interface of IoBNT comprises Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) and Molecular Communication (MolCom) technology. On the downlink (from Internet to targeted nanonetwork), the biocyber interface transduces electromagnetic (EM) signal to biochemical signals, and thus with the help of mobile MolCom system based on FRET nanocommunication, the drug information delivers to the diseased cell within the targeted intrabody nanonetwork. On the uplink, the MolCom system consists of embedded sensor/actuator nanonetwork to detect the biochemical changes in the targeted cell, and hence biocyber interface transduces the biochemical signal to EM signal. As a result, the paradigm of IoBNT responses by proper functions to these changes according to the decision of medical health care. The performance analysis of the proposed IoBNT system is numerically investigated through MolCom system-based FRET, while the performance evaluation is evaluated by employing spreading epidemic scheme in terms of success-ful probability of drug delivery, channel capacity, average drug-delivery time, and throughput. The simulation results show that the proposed IoBNT is a promising paradigm for smart drug delivery system, and its performance is mainly based on the nanostructure and the characteristic of molecular nanomachines in the targeted nanonetwork.
