Abstract
Compared to traditional machines in computer networks, nano-bots in nano-networks face challenges due to the limitations of processing capabilities and power management. Under these limitations, these nano-bots can only perform simple tasks. Use of nano-bots can be applied to fields such as environmental, biomedical, and industrial fields. However, to use nano-bots in practice, their management and control in nano-networks should be established. In this paper, a network protocol for use in in-vivo communications applied to drug-delivery systems is proposed. Based on the circulatory system, three types of nano-bots are designed to be used in a ring topology network. The physical channel of the communication is discussed in detail, a docking process between nano-bots is proposed, a method to access the channel is presented and simulation results of the communication network are presented.
