Analytical Modeling of Open- and Closed-Loop Dispersive Molecular Communication Channels with Pulsatile Flow
Theofilos Symeonidis, Fardad Vakilipoor, Timo Jakumeit +3
Molecular communication (MC) is a communication paradigm in which information is conveyed through the release, propagation, and reception of molecules. Many envisioned healthcare a…
Simulation and Analysis of Solute Transport in Multi-Lymphangion Lymphatic Vessels
Timo Jakumeit, Thiha Aung, Robert Schober +1
The lymphatic system (LS), a body-wide network of vessels and lymphoid organs governing fluid homeostasis and immune surveillance, has so far not been investigated as a domain for…
Source Distance and Source Strength Estimation in Turbulent Flow: Exploiting Molecule Degradation Diversity
Bastian Heinlein, Timo Jakumeit, Robert Schober +2
Locating an odor source and estimating its strength are central problems in nature and engineering. For example, an insect may decide whether a food source is worth traveling to ba…
Multipath Channel Metrics and Detection in Vascular Molecular Communication: A Wireless-Inspired Perspective
Timo Jakumeit, Lukas Brand, Josep M. Jornet +3
Motivated by classical communications engineering, early works in molecular communication (MC) largely adopted established modeling and signal processing concepts from wireless ele…
Matched Filter-Based Molecule Source Localization in Advection-Diffusion-Driven Pipe Networks with Known Topology
Timo Jakumeit, Bastian Heinlein, Vukašin Spasojević +3
Synthetic molecular communication (MC) has emerged as a powerful framework for modeling, analyzing, and designing communication systems where information is encoded into properties…
Vessel Network Topology in Molecular Communication: Insights from Experiments and Theory
Timo Jakumeit, Lukas Brand, Jens Kirchner +2
The notion of synthetic molecular communication (MC) refers to the transmission of information via signaling molecules and is foreseen to enable innovative medical applications in…
Mixture of Inverse Gaussians for Hemodynamic Transport (MIGHT) in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Vascular Networks
Timo Jakumeit, Bastian Heinlein, Nunzio Tuccitto +3
Synthetic molecular communication (MC) in the cardiovascular system is a key enabler for many envisioned medical applications inside the human body, such as targeted drug delivery,…
Closed-Loop Molecular Communication with Local and Global Degradation: Modeling and ISI Analysis
Lukas Brand, Fardad Vakilipoor, Sören Botsch +4
This paper presents a novel physics-based model for signal propagation in closed-loop molecular communication (MC) systems, which are particularly relevant for many envisioned biom…
Molecular Signal Reception in Complex Vessel Networks: The Role of the Network Topology
Timo Jakumeit, Lukas Brand, Jens Kirchner +2
The notion of synthetic molecular communication (MC) refers to the transmission of information via molecules and is largely foreseen for use within the human body, where traditiona…
