    Performance Analysis of Diffusion-Based Molecular Communications With Memory
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Galmes, Sebastia; Atakan, Barış
    In this paper, the comprehensive delay and performance analyses of the $M$-ary molecular communications with memory are presented. By taking into account any level of channel memory, the type-based and concentration-based modulation schemes are introduced and analyzed. In the type-based modulation, information symbols are encoded through different molecule types. In the concentration-based modulation, various concentration levels of one molecule type are used to encode information symbols. For both modulation schemes, the delay distributions of the molecular symbols are derived, and then, the symbol error probabilities are developed. The given distributions and the error probability expressions are validated through extensive simulation experiments. After showing that the derived expressions are valid, the performance of the modulation schemes is evaluated. The performance evaluations reveal that by properly selecting the parameters such as slot time and number of emitted molecules, the performance can be improved in both type and concentration-based molecular communication as the channel memory is increased. Furthermore, it is shown that the type-based molecular communication outperforms the concentration-based molecular communication.

    Combined Coding and Training for Unknown Isi Channels
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2005) Coşkun, Orhan; Chugg, Keith M.
    The traditional method of sending a training signal to identify a channel, followed by data, may be viewed as a simple code for the unknown channel. Results in blind sequence detection suggest that performance similar to this traditional approach can be obtained without training. However, for short packets and/or time-recursive algorithms, significant error floors exist due to the presence of sequences that are indistinguishable without knowledge of the channel. In this paper, we reconsider training-signal design in light of recent results in blind sequence detection. Specifically, we consider the tradeoff between the complexity of receiver processing and the amount of training overhead required. More generally, we design training codes which combine modulation and training. In order to design these codes, we find an expression for the pairwise error probability of the joint maximum-likelihood (JML) channel and sequence estimator. This expression motivates a pairwise distance for the JML receiver based on principal angles between the range spaces of data matrices. The general code-design problem (generalized sphere packing) is formulated as the clique problem associated with an unweighted, undirected graph. We provide optimal and heuristic algorithms for this clique problem. For both long and short packets, we demonstrate that significant improvements are possible by jointly considering the design of the training, modulation, and receiver processing.
