Modeling and Dual Threshold Algorithm for Diffusion-Based Molecular MIMO Communications.

Molecular communication, as an emerging research direction, has emerged in the field of communication, which usually combined with nanotechnology and bio-related knowledge. In the direction of communication channel research, the most widespread model for a molecular communication channel is the diffusion-based channel, where the information-carrying molecules propagate randomly in the medium based on Brownian motion. Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology is often used to improve communication quality in the traditional communication field. Compared with the SISO model, which only has inter-symbol interference (ISI) as the interference source, the interference in MIMO communication model includes ISI as well as inter-link interference (ILI), which emerges when receiver receive other transmitters' molecules. In this paper, MIMO communication models are built, based on diffusion channel, CSK, probabilistic theory, considered with ISI and ILI, to establish the calculation formula of related bit error rate, And the influence of relevant parameters in the model on bit error rate is studied. Then, SISO and SIMO models will be built to compare with MIMO models. Last, self-adaptive dual threshold algorithm is proposed to reduce BER of the 2×2 MIMO system. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance on reducing BER than other approaches.
