Patent ID: 8315807

Claim:
A molecular communication system, comprising: a molecular transmitter for transmitting an information molecule in which prescribed information is coded; a molecular receiver for receiving the information molecule; and a molecule transmission channel extending between the molecular transmitter and the molecular receiver, wherein the molecular transmission channel includes a transmission path formed of macromolecular materials and a carrier molecule moving in a prescribed direction along the transmission path, and the information molecule is carried on the carrier molecule and transported to the molecular receiver, and wherein the molecular receiver includes a molecule receiving unit configured to receive the information molecule carried on the carrier molecule and separate the information molecule from the carrier molecule, and a decoder configured to decode the separated information molecule, wherein the information molecule transmitted from the molecular transmitter has biochemical information encoded using a type, a concentration, a composition, or any combination thereof, of the molecule, and the biochemical information is decoded at the molecular receiver according to generation of protein or intensity of behavior caused at the molecular receiver by the information molecule.
