Abstract

The inverse Gaussian (IG) distribution is a well- established distribution for the first hitting time in flow-induced diffusion molecular communications. However, the distribution of the difference between two independent IG-distributed random variables has not been derived yet, although it is very important for the analysis of many molecular communication systems. For example, for deriving crossover probabilities or characterizing the noise in time between release modulation. In this letter, we propose an approximation by a normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) distribution and derive an asymptotic tail approximation. Numerical evaluations showed that the NIG approximation matches very well with the solution obtained through numerical integration, in particular for the tails. Moreover, the asymptotic tail approximation converges very quickly to the actual probability and outperforms state-of-the-art tail approximations.
