Abstract
Externally controllable molecular communication is expected to expand the capability of molecular communication by allowing conventional devices placed in the external environment to control the location and timing of molecular communication processes taking place in the molecular communication environment. In this paper, we consider externally controllable mobile bionanosensor networks where an external device is used to control the mobility of bio-nanomachines. We first describe a simple model to describe the mobility of bio-nanomachines. We then show how mutual information can be used to evaluate the controllability of mobile bio-nanomachines.
