Due to size limitation, the functions carried by a single nanometer machine are simpler, and different nanometer machines are combined to form a human nanometer network, so that more complex treatment means are possible. Meanwhile, due to the limitation of the micro size of the nanomachines, the traditional communication means have huge cost for communication on the nanoscale, and are not suitable for communication between nanomachines.
Molecular communication (Molecular Communication, MC) as a branch of the body area network (Body Area Network, BAN) is a communication scheme that utilizes biochemical molecules as the carrier information. Molecular communication is most different from traditional communication means in that the type of carrier is different, traditional communication uses carriers such as light, sound, electricity and the like for communication, and molecular communication uses molecules for communication, and carriers carrying information in molecular communication are called messenger molecules.
Molecular communication has the characteristics of biocompatibility, low energy consumption, small volume and the like, and is the best choice for forming a nano network currently compared with the traditional communication means, especially for a tiny nano machine. Molecular communication can be regarded as an alternative to electromagnetic wave communication, and has a good application prospect especially in the scene of serious attenuation of electromagnetic waves. In complex metal pipes, traditional electromagnetic wave communication is disturbed, and effective communication can be formed by using diffusion of molecules in a fluid medium; in the blood vessel of the human body, chemical molecules or nano particles with biological compatibility are used to form communication inside and outside the human body, thus realizing the targeted transmission of the medicine; between different cells, chemical molecules are used to form an intercellular communication network.

However, most of the current research on molecular communication is theoretical research, and is mainly focused on implementation of communication, and the influence of molecular communication environment on communication is not considered, so that inconvenience is brought to the research.

Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a molecular communication channel characterization system of a body area network according to an embodiment of the present invention. The body area network molecular communication channel characterization system is a molecular communication comprehensive experiment platform for simulating the vascular environment in a human body. According to the functional area division, the body area network molecular communication channel characterization system comprises: the device comprises a signal source area 1, an electromagnetic valve data transmission area 2, a constant temperature control area 3, a power source area 4, a data sampling area 5 and a waste liquid collecting area 6.

The signal source region 1 includes a first messenger molecule storage container 11, a second messenger molecule storage container 12, and a background stream storage container 13 arranged in parallel.
In one embodiment, the first messenger molecule storage container 11 stores a bright blue pigment solution, the second messenger molecule storage container 12 stores a bright red pigment solution, and the background stream storage container 13 stores a colorless liquid.
The molecular communication channel characterization system constructed by the embodiment uses water-soluble pigment as messenger molecules for carrying information, and colorless water is used as background fluid, the water-soluble pigment can be freely diffused in the water, and the distribution condition of messenger molecule concentration can be intuitively seen from the distribution of colors. It will be appreciated that the pigment acts as a message carrying messenger molecule, and that the colourless liquid water acts as a channel through which the messenger molecule is transported from the sender to the receiver by the flow of the water stream. After the colorless liquid is injected into the high-concentration pigment solution, the pigment solution can be diffused in the silica gel pipeline, so that a liquid-based molecular communication diffusion model is displayed.
Specifically, the pheromone carrying data information in the signal source is prepared by adopting pigment solution, wherein the pigment solution mainly comprises bright red pigment solution and bright blue pigment solution, and the pigment solution and water (1L) are matched with corresponding pigment solution through fixed proportion each time.
Specifically, the storage containers 11, 12, 13 may be lower-mouth bottles, that is, pigment solution and colorless liquid are stored in the lower-mouth bottles, and the lower-mouth bottle mouth is sealed by a stopper to prevent concentration change of the pigment solution caused by evaporation of water molecules in the solution due to air drying.
The electromagnetic valve data transmitting area 2 has the functions that: the molecular communication channel characterization system built in the embodiment is based on a molecular communication structure of a single power source, and messenger molecules with the same volume are injected into a silica gel pipeline by controlling the switch of an electromagnetic valve.
The electromagnetic valve data transmitting area 2 comprises three electromagnetic valves 21 correspondingly connected with the first messenger molecule storage container 11, the second messenger molecule storage container 12 and the background stream storage container 13, and the output ends of the three electromagnetic valves 21 are connected.
In a specific embodiment, the first messenger molecule storage container 11, the second messenger molecule storage container 12 and the background stream storage container 13 are connected with the three electromagnetic valves 21 in a one-to-one correspondence manner through silica gel pipelines, the output ends of the three electromagnetic valves 21 are connected through a four-way pagoda joint 22, and the output end of the four-way pagoda joint 22 is connected with the input end of the constant temperature control module 31; the three solenoid valves 21 are all fixed on an acrylic plate.

Further, from the aspect of saving energy consumption, all three electromagnetic valves adopt normally closed electromagnetic valves; in order to avoid the influence of different water pressures, only one electromagnetic valve is opened at the same time, for example, the electromagnetic valve for controlling colorless water in the middle is in a normally open state, and the electromagnetic valves on the other two sides are mainly in a closed state. The voltage of the electromagnetic valve is 24V direct current voltage, and the power is 4W.
Specifically, 3 solenoid valves are fixed by using an acrylic bottom plate, and screw holes (the model of which can be M3 screw holes) are formed in the bottoms of the three solenoid valves 21, and the solenoid valves are fixed on the acrylic plate through the screw holes.
Specifically, information is modulated into a form of messenger molecule concentration wave by adopting a concentration-based modulation mode, and then messenger molecules are injected into a silica gel pipeline by controlling the switching-on and switching-off of an electromagnetic valve through a singlechip. The singlechip needs a circuit driving board with the voltage of 24V and the current of more than 0.2A to control the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve; because three electromagnetic valves need to be driven and controlled, two double-circuit motor driving modules are used, 1 double-circuit motor driving module controls two electromagnetic valves, 1 double-circuit motor driving module controls 1 electromagnetic valve, the output voltage of the circuit driving module is between 5V and 35V, and the maximum driving current is 2A.

Specifically, the emission of messenger molecules is realized in the form of a solenoid valve switch, so that a signal of 0 or 1 is transmitted in the form of an OOK model. Assuming that there is no delay in switching the solenoid valve, a piece of information-carrying water flow with a volume of 0.5mL is sent first to represent the sent one-bit information, if the water flow is 0.5mL of bright blue pigment solution, the signal 1 is sent, if the water flow is 0.5mL of colorless liquid background flow, the signal 0 is sent, and in order to avoid interference of messenger molecules on subsequent signals as much as possible, the subsequent 9.5mL of colorless liquid background flow is followed to serve as buffer between the two signals. Thereafter, the above steps were repeated, and signaling was performed using a bright red pigment solution and a colorless liquid background stream as a control group.
