Nanonetworks: A New Frontier in Communications

"Technology able to create devices the size of a human cell calls for new protocols."
Problems in scaling up Mutant OS from independent machines with the simplest functions into a distributed OS.

People

  1. Richard Feynman, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom"
  2. K. Eric Drexler, Exploring nanotechnology in depth.

Ideas

  1. Nanomachines, that is, integrated functional devices consisting of nanoscale components and which are able to perform simple tasks at the nano-level.
  2. Nanonetworks Nanomachines, different in type and numbers, combine to accomplish tasks no one machine can. Then recombine to accomplish a different task.
    1. Biomedical Applications
    2. Industrial and Consumer Goods Applications
    3. Environmental Applications
    4. Military Applications
  3. Nanocommunications
    1. Electromagnetic Communications in the Terahertz Band - Pulses with wide bandwidth and short range.
    2. Molecular Communications Message in a bottle.
      1. Directed bacteria carrying a message in DNA. Slow speed but large payload. Similar to the SS Great Eastern[1] on its intended UK to Australia service.
    3. It seems unfeasible to assign a unique ID to every component of a nanonetwork.
    4. Molecular nanonetworks.
      1. Biologically inspired molecular networks.
      2. Synthesized molecular nanonetworks.
      3. Noisy environments
      4. propagation delay
      5. Attenuation
      6. Message Delay
      7. Flagellated bacterial communication
