Bacteria communicate with one another by exchanging specific chemical signals called autoinducers. This process, also called quorum sensing, enables a cluster of bacteria to regulate their gene expression and behaviour collectively and synchronously, such as bioluminescence, virulence, sporulation and conjugation. Bacteria assess their population density by detecting the concentration of autoinducers...
This paper provides some initial results on an investigation concerning the application of three tailored Stop-and-Wait Automatic Repeat reQuest (SW-ARQ) schemes to a diffusion based molecular communications system. Each scheme is numerically simulated and evaluated to determine their performance with regards to average time and energy consumption. It is shown that all three schemes can be applied...
