ABSTRACT
Internet of Things became an important research topic in the last decade
where Things refer to machines and objects interconnected to extend the
Internet to many application domains. While the research and deployments
continue for micro-Things, there are many applications where much
smaller, tiny and non-intrusive Things are needed. Nanomaterials such as
graphene or metamaterials can be used to produce these nano-scale Things
whose interconnection with the Internet can lead to the new network
paradigm called Internet of NanoThings (IoNT). However, there are many
health-related applications where networks composed of biological
nanomachines are needed. This leads us to yet another network paradigm
called Internet of Bio-NanoThings (IoBNT) which can provide new
opportunities for many novel healthcare applications, including fine
sensing of diseases and tumors in various parts of the human body,
targeted drug delivery and overall personalized health monitoring.
Within this context, this talk captures the state of the art in
electromagnetic and molecular communication among nanoscale devices. An
in-depth view is provided from the communication and information
theoretic perspective, by highlighting the major research challenges in
terms of channel modeling, information encoding and protocols for
nanonetworks and the Internet of NanoThings and Bio-NanoThings.
