Molecular Communication in Fluid Media: Bounds on the Capacity of the Additive Inverse Gaussian Noise Channel Student: Chang Hui-Ting Advisor: Prof. Stefan M. Moser Institute of Communication Engineering National Chiao Tung University In this thesis a very recent and new channel model is investigated that describes communication based on the exchange of chemical molecules in a liquid medium with constant drift. They travel from the transmitter to the receiver at two ends of a one-dimensional axis. A typical application of such communication are nanodevices inside a blood vessel communicating with each other. In this case, we no longer transmit our signal via electromegnetic waves, but we put our information on the emission time of the molecules. Once a molecule is emitted in the fluid medium, it will be affected by Brownian motion, which causes uncertainty of the molecule’s arrival time at the receiver. We characterize this noise with an inverse Gaussian distribution. Here we focus solely on an additive noise channel to describe the fundamental channel capacity behavior. This new model is investigated and new analytical upper and lower bounds on the capacity are presented. The bounds are asymptotically tight, i.e., if the averagedelay constraint is loosened to infinity or if the drift velocity of the liquid medium tends to infinity, the corresponding asymptotic capacities are derived precisely.
