Abstract
In this position paper, we describe research challenges on the Internet of Bio-Nano-Things (IoBNT), an emerging paradigm that integrates molecular communication and traditional electromagnetic communication systems into a single communication system. IoBNT systems are expected to bring innovation to conventional healthcare methods. This paper introduces new interfaces, termed internal interfaces to facilitate two-way communication between the edge interfaces and the target molecular communication systems. We assume that the target molecular communication systems are deployed deep inside the body to obtain physiological data, therefore the internal interfaces that make communication between them are essential. This paper describes research challenges associated with internal interfaces.
