Abstract
Molecule concentration is often used as the information carrier to accomplish diffusion-based molecular communications (DMC) among nano-machines. To achieve the optimal functionality, knowing the distance between the transmitter nano-machine (TN) and the receiver nano-machine (RN) is of high importance. In this paper, two distance estimation schemes are proposed based upon the RN-sensed concentration which changes with regards to the time and distance. The RN estimates the distance by means of measuring either the concentration-peak time or received concentration energy. Simulations are performed to compare the accuracy of each scheme and to discover how the diffusion channel and noise may influence the accuracy. Results show that both schemes will provide a beneficial enhancement to molecular communication systems.
