“…This aforementioned signaling species is generally released by natural cells according to a continuous-time molecule release rate signal, usually abstracted in MC through the common On-Off-Keying (OOK) modulation scheme [12]. The Brownian motion propagation of these molecules could lead to noise at reception that is theoretically modeled by a Poisson distribution [17], which is prone to consequent errors in understanding the Transmitter Cell state.…”

“…The synthetic biology design of a binary encoding and modulation system of cellular information is motivated as a natural extension of the aforementioned studies of biological circuits for MC. In [12], classical channel coding schemes have been considered within the MC realm, and characterized on the basis of their feasibility and performance. Inspired by this work, we detail here an implementation of the simplest coding scheme, namely, the binary parity check coding, and subsequent binary modulation of output signaling molecules, by utilizing the component and rules of biological circuit theory.…”

Abstract-Regarded as one of the future enabling technologies of the Internet of Things at the biological and nanoscale domains, Molecular Communication (MC) promises to enable applications in healthcare, environmental protection, and bioremediation, amongst others. Since MC is directly inspired by communication processes in biological cells, the engineering of biological circuits through cells' genetic code manipulation, which enables access to the cells' information processing abilities, is a candidate technology for the future realization of MC components. In this paper, inspired by previous research on channel coding schemes for MC and biological circuits for cell communications, a joint encoder and modulator design is proposed for the transmission of cellular information through signaling molecules. In particular, the information encoding and modulation are based on a binary parity check scheme, and they are implemented by interconnecting biological circuit components based on gene expression and mass action reactions. Each component is mathematically modeled and tuned according to the desired output. The implementation of the biological circuit in a simulation environment is then presented along with the corresponding numerical results, which validate the proposed design by showing agreement with an ideal encoding and modulator scheme.

“…Relatively simple block codes use added parity check bits to enable the correction of errors, i.e., Hamming codes are described as n = 2 m − 1 length codes, where m is the number of parity check bits. A comparison of Euclidean geometry low density parity check (EG-LDPC) and cyclic Reed-Muller (C-RM) codes can be found in [6].…”

“…Hence, ECC can results in easy manipulation of the system compared to using resistance molecules to overcome ISI. More specifically, the bit error performance of established codes, such as Hamming codes (HC) [5], Euclidean Geometry Low Density Parity Check, and Cyclic Reed-Muller codes [5], have been applied and investigated in MC systems. A new type of ECC, called ISI free code, was proposed and designed to prevent occurrence of ISI via the predefined redundant bit patterns in MC systems [6].…”

Reed Solomon Codes for Molecular Communication With a Full Absorption Receiver

Abstract-Molecular communication (MC) has recently emerged as a novel paradigm for nano-scale communication utilizing molecules as information carriers. In diffusion-based molecular communication, the system performance is constrained by the inter-symbol-interference (ISI) caused by crossover of information carrying molecules in consecutive bits. To cope with this, we propose the Reed-Solomon (RS) codes as an error recovery tool, to improve the transmission reliability in diffusionbased MC systems. To quantify the performance improvement due to RS codes, we derive the analytical expression for the approximate bit error probability (BEP) of the diffusion-based MC system with the full absorption receiver. We further develop the particle-based simulation framework to simulate the proposed system with RS code to verify the accuracy of our derived analytical results. Our results show that, as the number of molecules per bit increases, the BEP of the system with RS codes exhibits a substantial improvement than that of non-coded systems. Furthermore, the BEP of the proposed system with RS codes can be greatly improved by increasing the minimum distance of the codeword.
