Abstract

<abstract> <p>Recent nanomedical applications, particularly targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) scenarios, have made use of molecular communications via diffusion (MCvD) based on nanosystems. In order to improve the performance of such nanosystems, nanonetworks-based molecular communication is investigated. Employing a nanorelay approach and cooperative molecular communications, we provide a method for optimizing the performance of the nanosystem while taking blood flow effects into consideration in terms of drift velocity. Unlike the earlier studies, the position of the nanorelay and the allocated amount of molecular drugs will be optimized. We provide closed-form expressions for molecular channel capacity and the error probability of a molecular frame. According to the simulation results, it is possible to significantly reduce error probability of a molecular frame and thus increase channel capacity by optimizing the drift velocity, detection threshold and the location of the nanorelay within the proposed nanosystem.</p> </abstract>
