Clustering Guided Residual Neural Networks for Multi-Tx Localization in Molecular Communications

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Abstract--Transmitter localization in Molecular Communication via Diffusion is a critical topic with many applications. However, accurate localization of multiple transmitters is a challenging problem due to the stochastic nature of diffusion and overlapping molecule distributions at the receiver surface. T o address these issues, we introduce clustering-based centroid correction methods that enhance robustness against density variations, and outliers. In addition, we propose two clustering-guided Residual Neural Networks, namely AngleNN for direction refinement and SizeNN for cluster size estimation. Experimental results show that both approaches provide significant improvements with reducing localization error between 69% (2-Tx) and 43% (4-Tx) compared to the K-means.


Semantic Learning for Molecular Communication in Internet of Bio-Nano Things

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Molecular communication (MC) provides a foundational framework for information transmission in the Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT), where efficiency and reliability are crucial. However, the inherent limitations of molecular channels, such as low transmission rates, noise, and inter-symbol interference (ISI), limit their ability to support complex data transmission. This paper proposes an end-to-end semantic learning framework designed to optimize task-oriented molecular communication, with a focus on biomedical diagnostic tasks under resource-constrained conditions. The proposed framework employs a deep encoder-decoder architecture to efficiently extract, quantize, and decode semantic features, prioritizing task-relevant semantic information to enhance diagnostic classification performance. Additionally, a probabilistic channel network is introduced to approximate molecular propagation dynamics, enabling gradient-based optimization for end-to-end learning. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed semantic framework improves diagnostic accuracy by at least 25% compared to conventional JPEG compression with LDPC coding methods under resource-constrained communication scenarios.


Artificial Intelligence for Molecular Communication

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Molecular communication is a novel approach for data transmission between miniaturized devices, especially in contexts where electrical signals are to be avoided. The communication is based on sending molecules (or other particles) at nano scale through channel instead sending electrons over a wire. Molecular communication devices have a large potential in medical applications as they offer an alternative to antenna-based transmission systems that may not be applicable due to size, temperature, or radiation constraints. The communication is achieved by transforming a digital signal into concentrations of molecules. These molecules are then detected at the other end of the communication channel and transformed back into a digital signal. Accurately modeling the transmission channel is often not possible which may be due to a lack of data or time-varying parameters of the channel (e. g., the movements of a person wearing a medical device). This makes demodulation of the signal very difficult. Many approaches for demodulation have been discussed with one particular approach having tremendous success: artificial neural networks. These networks imitate the decision process in the human brain and are capable of reliably classifying noisy input data. Training such a network relies on a large set of training data. As molecular communication as a technology is still in its early development phase, this data is not always readily available. We discuss neural network-based demodulation approaches relying on synthetic data based on theoretical channel models as well as works using actual measurements produced by a prototype test bed. In this work, we give a general overview over the field molecular communication, discuss the challenges in the demodulations process of transmitted signals, and present approaches to these challenges that are based on artificial neural networks.


Realizing Molecular Machine Learning through Communications for Biological AI: Future Directions and Challenges

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are weaving their way into the fabric of society, where they are playing a crucial role in numerous facets of our lives. As we witness the increased deployment of AI and ML in various types of devices, we benefit from their use into energy-efficient algorithms for low powered devices. In this paper, we investigate a scale and medium that is far smaller than conventional devices as we move towards molecular systems that can be utilized to perform machine learning functions, i.e., Molecular Machine Learning (MML). Fundamental to the operation of MML is the transport, processing, and interpretation of information propagated by molecules through chemical reactions. We begin by reviewing the current approaches that have been developed for MML, before we move towards potential new directions that rely on gene regulatory networks inside biological organisms as well as their population interactions to create neural networks. We then investigate mechanisms for training machine learning structures in biological cells based on calcium signaling and demonstrate their application to build an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). Lastly, we look at potential future directions as well as challenges that this area could solve.


High-dimensional Metric Combining for Non-coherent Molecular Signal Detection

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In emerging Internet-of-Nano-Thing (IoNT), information will be embedded and conveyed in the form of molecules through complex and diffusive medias. One main challenge lies in the long-tail nature of the channel response causing inter-symbol-interference (ISI), which deteriorates the detection performance. If the channel is unknown, we cannot easily achieve traditional coherent channel estimation and cancellation, and the impact of ISI will be more severe. In this paper, we develop a novel high-dimensional non-coherent scheme for blind detection of molecular signals. We achieve this in a higher-dimensional metric space by combining different non-coherent metrics that exploit the transient features of the signals. By deducing the theoretical bit error rate (BER) for any constructed high-dimensional non-coherent metric, we prove that, higher dimensionality always achieves a lower BER in the same sample space. Then, we design a generalised blind detection algorithm that utilizes the Parzen approximation and its probabilistic neural network (Parzen-PNN) to detect information bits. Taking advantages of its fast convergence and parallel implementation, our proposed scheme can meet the needs of detection accuracy and real-time computing. Numerical simulations demonstrate that our proposed scheme can gain 10dB BER compared with other state of the art methods.
