Analysis of Layer’s Tasks in Molecular Communication: Application, Transport, Network, and Link Layers
摘要
In the following, Molecular Communications (MCs) network architecture is explained based on the reference models: Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI), and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This comparison allows us to introduce a hybrid model compatible with MCs. The architecture, models, main functionalities, and tasks provided by each layer in MCs are analyzed according to the following layered model: Application, Transport, Network, and Link. It also provided information about outstanding research that illustrates significant cases that use criteria for these molecular layers.
