Joint Optimization of Input Spike Rate and Receiver Decision Threshold to Maximize Achievable Bit Rate of Neuro-Spike Communication Channel.

Nano-networks employ novel nano-scale communication techniques. These techniques are inspired by biological systems. Neuro-spike communication is an example of this communication paradigm.

Axonal Channel Capacity in Neuro-Spike Communication.

Novel nano-scale communication techniques are inspired by biological systems. Neuro-spike communication is an example of this communication paradigm which transfers vital information about external and internal conditions of the body through the nervous system. The analysis of this communication paradigm is beneficial to exploit in the artificial neural systems where nano-machines are linked to neurons to treat the neurodegenerative diseases.

Maximizing Spectral Efficiency for Energy Harvesting-Aware WBAN.

In this paper, we investigate the spectral efficiency of a communication link in a wireless body area network (WBAN) capable of harvesting energy from the environment. We consider two scenarios for the transmission which are single- and dual-hop and achieve the power management policy for each scenario. In the first scenario, the aim is to maximize the link's spectral efficiency over N time slots subject to the battery capacity, energy harvesting constraint, and WBAN limitations including power and outage probability.
