Energy efficient, scalable and reliable MAC protocol for electromagnetic communication among nano devices

Abstract

The possibility of manipulating and assembling objects at the atomic scale has paved way for a future generation of computing machines, where nanoscale devices substitute silicon-based transistors. In this paper we review the fundamental issues arising when nano scale devices communicate in a dense employed network. We describe the existing modes of communication among the nano devices with an emphasis on Electromagnet ic Communication. As a solution, an Energy Efficient, Scalable and Reliable MAC Protocol has been proposed along with the structures of control packet and data packet, thereby constrained to certain open challenges.
