Incredible improvements in nanotechnologies have enabled the vision
of nanonetworks composed of a number of nanomachines communicating
with each other for a specific nanoscale application. Due to size and
capabilities of nanomachines that may constitute of just several
atoms or molecules, traditional communication mechanisms are
deemed inapplicable in nanonetworks. Many novel nanoscale
communication paradigms are currently under investigation such as
molecular communication, communication over carbon nanotubes and
nanowires. Recent work has also revealed that nanoscale physical
devices naturally communicate with each other through various quantum
phenomena, which makes nanoscale communication also closely related
to the quantum communication networks structured based on principles
of quantum entanglement.
This special issue aims to capture the state-of-the-art by soliciting
original (unpublished and not currently under review) and novel
contributions on nanoscale communication in areas including (but not
limited to) the following:
* Architectures, topologies, algorithms for nanoscale communication
[ Network architectures, topologies, coverage/connectivity, relay,
broadcast, and MAC mechanisms, synchronization,routing/addressing,
reliable information coding, error control, energy efficiency.]
* Modeling and analysis of nanocommunication
[ Physical characterization/modeling of nanoscale interconnects, and
devices, statistical mechanics modeling, applications of complex
network theory, network calculus and queuing theoretical analysis.]
* Information theoretical approaches to nanoscale communication
[ Information/network information theory modeling,capacity bounds and
theorems for various nanoscale channels, transceiver and modulation
optimization, nanoscale and molecular source and channel coding.]
* Molecular communication
[ Sparse-molecule and short/mid/long range molecular communications,
molecular motors, calcium signaling, nanotube radios, molecular
entanglement.]
* Nanoscale ad hoc and sensor networks
[ Communication systems and protocols for nanoscale ad hoc networks,
nano-sensor networks, networks of micro/nanorobotic systems, self-
organizing nanobio networks, molecular sensing and sampling.]
* Future nanonetworks with new nano-machines and interconnects
[ Nanonetworks deployed with carbon-nanotubes (CNTs), nanowires,
nanoparticles, graphene devices, nanoscale optical, wireless, and
electromechanical communication, quantum nanoscale networks.]
* Quantum communication networks
[ Hybrid classical and quantum networks, repeaters, teleportation,
entanglement swapping, quantum dot networks, nanoscale quantum
electron transport,nanomechanical quantum communication systems.]
* Applications for nanoscale communications
[ Communication among molecular scale chemical and biosensors,in-body
nanonetworks, bio-nano networks with molecular cells/nanomachines,
in-vivo nanosensing, nanoscale wireless networks.]
