Abstract

In this position paper, we describe an architecture for intrabody nanonetworks, a new type of body area networks targeted to the molecular environment deep inside the human body. Our approach is to learn from biological systems (e.g., microbial organisms that establish a complex adaptive system in the body) to design an architecture for intrabody nanonetworks. Our initial thoughts on the architectural design as well as testbed are first described. Future challenges are then discussed toward the practical deployment of intrabody nanonetworks.

Keywords: intrabody nanonetwork system architecture bio-inspired approach microbial ecosystem
