Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, we propose a novel distributed scheduling algorithm for time-division multiple access (TDMA) in diffusion-based molecular communication systems. We consider a receiver nano device (ND) surrounded by randomly distributed transmitter NDs. The goal of the proposed scheduling algorithm is to arrange transmissions of the different transmitter NDs in order to mitigate inter-user interferences (IUI). Each ND follows the scheduling algorithm, which only requires listening to the channel and measuring time, but no synchronization. We provide a theoretical foundation and verify the functionality of the algorithm with a particle-based simulation (PBS). Furthermore, we compare the performance of the algorithm in terms of temporal channel utilization with an ideal (centralized) scheduling algorithm, which shows similar results for large packet lengths.
