Abstract :
Nanoscale communication is expected to offer unprecedented benefits. However, lack of a precise definition and general framework for nanoscale communication has resulted in limited impact and dissipated effort. The IEEE P1906.1/Draft 1.0 Recommended Practice for Nanoscale and Molecular Communication Framework provides the precise, common definition of nanoscale communication and a standard, general framework. The definition of nanoscale communication must carefully depict the field so that it captures the unique aspects of small-scale physics with respect to communication. Both the definition and framework must be broad enough to cover the scope of cross-disciplinary technologies that may be utilized while simultaneously be precise enough to allow for interoperable and reusable components.The implication for the field is significant. The IEEE P1906.1/ Draft 1.0 Recommended Practice for Nanoscale and Molecular Communication Framework will enable diverse disciplines to have a common language and reference for making lasting contributions. A lasting impact will be possible because others can now build upon these results through rational design and synthesis.
