Abstract
The Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) in Diffusive Molecular Communication (DMC) is unavoidable due to the stochastic behavior of molecular Brownian motion in a biological environment. In this paper, we analyze the channel capacity of DMC model by considering the ISI from all the previous time slots and the channel transmission probability in each time slot. We first use the Poisson distribution to approximate the Binomial distribution in order to obtain the total number of molecules received in the current time slot. Then we derive the mathematical expressions of optimal decision threshold by using the Skellam distribution. On this basis, we formulate the mutual information and bit error probability. Our numerical results are presented to show the channel capacity can be maximized with optimal lower bit error probability by controlling the channel transmission probability in each time slot and using the Skellam distribution. More importantly, under the same physical parameters, a higher capacity is achieved with using fewer molecules in our work.
