Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a realistic channel model for a table-top molecular communication platform that is capable for transmitting short text messages across a room. The observed system response for this experimental platform does not match the theoretical results in the literature. This is because many simplifying assumptions regarding the flow, the sensor, and environmental conditions, which were used in derivations of previous theoretical models do not hold in practice. Therefore, in this paper, based on experimental observations, theoretical models are modified to create more realistic channel models.
