Abstract

In a molecular communication network, transmitters may encode information in concentration or frequency of signalling molecules. When the signalling molecules reach the receivers, they react, via a set of chemical reactions or a molecular circuit, to produce output molecules. The counts of output molecules over time is the output signal of the receiver. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of different reaction types on the information transmission capacity of molecular communication networks. We realise this aim by using a general molecular circuit model. We derive general expressions of mean receiver output, and signal and noise spectra. We use these expressions to investigate the information transmission capacities of a number of molecular circuits.
