Abstract

Epidemic information dissemination is a promising technique for delivering messages in sparse mobile networks. This paper proposes an epidemic information dissemination method for mobile molecular communication networks. We first describe a model of the proposed epidemic information dissemination for mobile molecular communication networks. We then provide numerical experimental results showing the performance of the proposed method in terms of the fraction of bio-nanomachines that successfully receive information. Further, we apply the proposed information dissemination method to a target detection problem in mobile molecular communication networks.
