We consider diffusion-based molecular communication networks where the receivers consist of a set of chemical reactions or a molecular circuit. At the receivers of these networks, the signalling molecules react with the molecular circuit to produce output molecules. The counts of output molecules over time is the output signal of the receiver. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of different molecular circuits on the noise properties and information transmission capacity of molecular communication networks. In particular, we show that some molecular circuits have lower noise and higher information transmission capacity.
The information transmission capacity of a number of types of linear receiver molecular circuits is compared in REF .
