An $M$-ary Concentration Shift Keying with Common Detection Thresholds For Multitransmitter Molecular Communication

Published 21 Oct 2023 in cs.IT, cs.ET, and math.IT | (2310.13991v2)

Abstract: Concentration shift keying (CSK) is a widely studied modulation technique for molecular communication-based nanonetworks, which is a key enabler for the Internet of Bio-NanoThings (IoBNT). Existing CSK methods, while offering optimal error performance, suffer from increased operational complexity that scales poorly as the number of transmitters, $K$, grows. In this study, a novel $M$-ary CSK method is proposed: CSK with common detection thresholds (CSK-CT). CSK-CT uses \textit{common} thresholds, set sufficiently low to guarantee the reliable detection of symbols from all transmitters, regardless of distance. Closed-form expressions are derived to obtain the common thresholds and release concentrations. To further enhance error performance, the release concentration is optimized using a scaling exponent that also optimizes the common thresholds. The performance of CSK-CT is evaluated against the benchmark CSK across various $K$ and $M$ values. CSK-CT has an error probability between $10{-7}$ and $10{-4}$, which is a substantial improvement from that of the benchmark CSK (from $10{-4}$ to $10{-3}$). In terms of complexity, CSK-CT is $\mathcal{O}\big(n\big)$ and does not scale with $K$ but $M$ ($M\ll K$), whereas the benchmark is $\mathcal{O}\big(n2\big)$. Furthermore, CSK-CT can mitigate inter-symbol interference (ISI), although this facet merits further investigation. Owing to its low error rates, improved scalability, reduced complexity, and potential ISI mitigation features, CSK-CT is particularly advantageous for IoBNT applications focused on data gathering. Its effectiveness is especially notable in scenarios where a computationally limited receiver is tasked with collecting vital health data from multiple transmitters.
