Abstract
Diffusive molecular communication (DMC) is envisioned as a promising approach to help realize healthcare applications within bounded biological environments. In this paper, a DMC system within a biological spherical environment (BSE) is considered, inspired by bounded biological sphere-like structures throughout the body. As a biological environment, it is assumed that the inner surface of the sphere’s boundary is fully covered by biological receptors that may irreversibly react with hitting molecules. Moreover, information molecules diffusing in the sphere may undergo a degradation reaction and be transformed to another molecule type. Concentration Green’s function (CGF) of diffusion inside this environment is analytically obtained in terms of a convergent infinite series. By employing the obtained CGF, the information channel between transmitter and transparent receiver of DMC in this environment is characterized. Interestingly, it is revealed that the information channel is reciprocal, i.e., interchanging the position of receiver and transmitter does not change the information channel. Results indicate that the conventional simplifying assumption that the environment is unbounded may lead to an inaccurate characterization in such biological environments.
