Abstract
Molecular communication uses molecules (i.e., chemical signals) as an information carrier and allows biologically- and artificially-created nano- or cell-scale entities to communicate over a short distance. It is a new communication paradigm and is different from the traditional communication that uses electromagnetic waves (i.e., electronic and optical signals) as an information carrier. This paper focuses on system design and experimental results of molecular communication.
