A Physical Channel Model for Wired Nano-Communication Networks
share
In this paper, we propose a new end-to-end system for wired nano-communication networks using a self-assembled polymer. The self-assembly of a polymer creates a channel between the transmitter and the receiver in the form of a conductive nanowire that uses electrons as carriers of information. We derive the channel's analytical model and its master equation to study the dynamic process of the polymer self-assembly. We validate the analytical model with numerical and Monte-Carlo simulations. Then, we approximate the master equation by a one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation and we solve this equation analytically and numerically. We formulate the expressions of the polymer elongation rate, its diffusion coefficient and the nullcline to study the distribution and the stability of the self-assembled nanowire. This study shows promising results for realizing stable polymer-based wired nanonetworks that can achieve high throughput.
