Abstract:The molecular communication presents a relatively newer concept in field of communication, this involves the use of molecules to encode and transmit information among nanoscale devices (nanomachines) to form nano-communication network. The close bonding of this field with biology will eventually open up the new possibilities in the area of bio-engineering. However there are many types of molecular communication are proposed, in this paper we focused on diffusion-based molecular communications. In such type of systems the carrier molecule propagates through the channel by obeying diffusion process. Because of randomness involved in diffusion process the system suffer from molecule crossovers, i.e., the molecules received at different order than the order they transmitted, which eventually leads to higher symbol error rate. In this paper, we presented a study on the impact of different error correcting codes on molecular communication based on the simulation model. The presented analysis can help in better understanding of the behavior of such communication systems as well as can helps in the future development of different applications based on such models.
