    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.

    On Exploiting Sampling Jitter in Vehicular Sensor Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Atakan, Barış
    Vehicular sensor networks (VSNs) are composed of vehicular sensor nodes that collaboratively sample, communicate, and reconstruct the event signal at the sink node. Samples of event signals are subjected to jitter based on the propagation speed of signal and locations of vehicular sensors. In this paper, a theoretical analysis is presented to understand the effects and how to exploit the jitter in the sensed event signal for energy-efficient and reliable communication in VSNs. Results reveal that sampling jitter can be advantageous and can be exploited in developing adaptive communication techniques, which can provide significant energy conservation while maintaining reliability in VSNs.
