Abstract:

The advent of nanoscale wireless sensor networks broadens the realm of applications realized by distributed wireless ad hoc networks. It is anticipated that such newly conceived networks will have a direct impact on disease prevention, diagnosis, control, and treatment, among many other emerging applications. Nevertheless, multi-hop connectivity between nanoscale devices - in light of the short propagation distances stemming from graphene-based submillimeter radiation - poses several challenges insofar as routing, medium access, and electromagnetic transmissions are concerned. Classical microelectronic solutions for distributed ad hoc networking are characterized by algorithmic intricacy and device complexity, leading to increased size and unsustainable levels of power dissipation. We present novel proposals pertaining chiefly, but not exclusively, to early diagnosis and subsequent drug delivery/release using nanosensors with limited complexity. The solutions introduced herein are minimally invasive and are envisaged as mechanisms employable prior to the manifestation of perceptible symptoms.
