Abstract:

The rapid development of nano and biology technologies pave the way to the research of molecular communication within the body area. The article surveys the recent advents of the bacteria-based molecular communication, in which the bacteria conjugation and bacteria paracrine transmission mechanisms are elaborated, and the related experiment and simulation are presented. Accordingly, the body-area nano-network based on bacteria molecular communication is discussed, and the corresponding relay networking technology is presented. Finally, the future open issues and challenges are discussed.

Key words: bacteria-based molecular communication, wireless body-area nano-network, bacteria conjugation transmission, bacteria paracrine transmission
