Abstract

In this letter, we investigate diffusion-based molecular communication between two mobile nano-machines. We derive a closed-form expression for the first hitting time distribution by characterizing the motion of the information particles and the nano-machines via Brownian motion. We validate the derived expression through a particle-based simulation. For the information transfer we consider single particles of different types, where transposition errors are the dominant source of errors. We derive an analytical expression for the expected bit error probability and evaluate the error performance for the static and the mobile case by means of computer simulations.
