Abstract

Molecular communication (MC) is a step towards the future internet of bio-nano things (IoBNT) and a possible connection between life sciences and engineering for personalized medicine. To achieve this goal, we have to enable reliable communication through the human circulatory system (HCS). In this work, we introduce a novel frequency modulation (FM)-based communication approach for full-body MC. The presented approach encapsulates two different information states in an oscillating system inspired by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis of the human endocrine system. While the primary oscillation is produced by changing a feedback delay of one of the involved molecules, the secondary oscillation is driven by a changing intensity of the same molecule. We qualitatively compare our approach with amplitude modulation-based communication through the HCS and discuss its benefits for long-term MC-based monitoring in IoBNT applications.
