Source Distance Estimation in Turbulent Airflow: Exploiting Molecule Degradation Diversity

Bastian Heinlein, Timo Jakumeit, Robert Schober +2

In nature, estimating the location of a molecule source in turbulent airflow is a central, and yet highly challenging problem for mate search and foraging. Recently, it has also re…

Autoencoder-based Optimization of Multi-user Molecule Mixture Communication Systems

Bastian Heinlein, Nuria Zurita Jiménez, Kaikai Zhu +4

In this paper, we introduce an autoencoder (AE)-based scheme for end-to-end optimization of a multi-user molecule mixture communication system. In the proposed scheme, each transmi…
