Packet Replication and Noise in Reliable End-to-end Molecular Communication
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
In modern communication systems, noise represents the source of errors that disturb useful information signals for communication. In biological systems, however, noise plays important roles for their functions. In this position paper, we point out that, in designing and engineering molecular communication systems, noise may be removed as in traditional communication systems, while it may be exploited as in biological systems. We first show our prior work on reliable end-to-end molecular communication systems that incorporate packet replication to improve the reliability of molecular communication. We then discuss how the molecular communication systems may be extended based on the observation that biological systems utilize noise for their functions.

Breathing Expression for Intimate Communication Corresponding to the Physical Distance and Contact between Human and Robot
In this paper, we propose living-being-like breathing expressions concurrent with both aspiration and utterances using a stuffed-toy robot in order to enable intimate interactions. The focus of the research is the impres...
Templates as heuristics for proving properties of medical devices
This paper briefly describes how property templates have been used to analyse and explore the interactive behaviour of a specific medical device (an IV infusion pump). It is proposed that interactive devices that satisfy...
Auditory and Visual based Intelligent Lighting Design for Music Concerts
Playing music is about conveying emotions and the lighting at a concert can help do that. However, without a dedicated light technician, many bands have to miss out on lighting that will help them to convey the emotions...
A conceptual framework for audio-visual museum media
In today's history museums, the past is communicated through many other means than original artefacts. This interdisciplinary and theoretical article suggests a new approach to studying the use of audio-visual media, suc...
A Mathematical Model of Game Refinement and Its Applications to Sports Games
This paper explores a mathematical model of game progress. We claim that a realistic model of the game progress during the in-game period is not linear but exponential. The second derivative value, i.e., acceleration in...
