论文摘要
分子通信不仅能够模仿生物学和化学通信机制,而且还为病毒感染过程提供了理论框架。在本教程中,气溶胶和液滴变速器被建模为具有移动节点的多源场景,与广播和继电器有关。与数据通信系统相反,在应用载有病原体的气溶胶传播时,应将节点之间的相互信息最小化。为了实现这一目标,有理由进行了一些对策。这些发现得到了实验结果和高级粒子模拟工具的支持。这项工作的灵感来自最近冠状病毒(Covid-19)大流行的爆发,但也适用于其他空中传染病,如流感。
Molecular communication is not only able to mimic biological and chemical communication mechanisms, but also provides a theoretical framework for viral infection processes. In this tutorial, aerosol and droplet transmission is modeled as a multiuser scenario with mobile nodes, related to broadcasting and relaying. In contrast to data communication systems, in the application of pathogen-laden aerosol transmission, mutual information between nodes should be minimized. Towards this goal, several countermeasures are reasoned. The findings are supported by experimental results and by an advanced particle simulation tool. This work is inspired by the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but also applicable to other airborne infectious diseases like influenza.
