Abstract
In this paper, we consider the bacterial point-to-point communication problem with one transmitter and one receiver by considering the ligand receptor binding process. The most commonly investigated signalling model, referred to as the Level Scenario (LS), uses one type of a molecule with different concentration levels for signaling. An alternative approach is to employ multiple types of molecules with a single concentration level, referred to as the Type Scenario (TS). We investigate the trade-offs between the two scenarios for the ligand receptor from the capacity point of view. For this purpose, we evaluate the capacity using numerical algorithms. Moreover, we derive an upper bound on the...

Abstract
In traditional wireless networks, physical layer network coding (PNC) exploits the inverse additivity property of broadcast signals in the medium, an idea which is not directly applicable to molecular networks. In this paper, to make the natural XOR operation possible at the physical layer, we exploit the reaction of different molecule types and we propose a PNC scheme in diffusion-based molecular relay networks. For comparison, we consider the straightforward network coding (SNC) scheme in molecular networks. Assuming the ligand-receptor binding process at the receivers, we investigate the error performance of both schemes. It is observed that in addition to the simplicity of the proposed...
