Abstract :
In this paper we present a set of performance metrics for a pulse-based concentration-encoded unicast molecular communication system between a pair of nanomachines. We have also evaluated the performance of these metrics in the form of desired signal and interference signal strengths, transient loss, intersymbol interference (ISI) characteristics, and detection sensitivity of a binary amplitude-modulated scheme. The performance metrics are found to have a significant dependence on data rate of the system and communication distance between the transmitter and the receiver.
