Abstract:
Nanotechnology promises
new solutions for many
applications in the
biomedical,
industrial and military
fields as well as in
consumer and industrial
goods. The
interconnection
of nanoscale devices
with existing
communication
networks and ultimately
the Internet defines a
new networking paradigm
that is further referred
to as the Internet
of Nano-Things. Within
this context, this talk
captures the state of the
art in
electromagnetic and
molecular communication
among nanoscale devices.
An in-depth view is
provided from the
communication and
information theoretic
perspective, by
highlighting the major
research challenges in
terms of channel
modeling, information
encoding and protocols
for nanonetworks and
the
Internet of Nano-Things.
