MOLECULAR COMMUNICATION-BASED NANONETWORK SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD AND NANO MACHINE THEREOF

摘要

Molecular communication based nano network systems capable of performing synchronization between nano machines without time stamps, methods of synchronization thereof, and nano machines are provided. In the molecular communication-based nano-network according to an embodiment of the present invention, the synchronization method includes the step of transmitting a control message to a customer nanomachine at a clock oscillation time by a reference nanomachine; Sending a response message for the control message to the reference nanomachine as soon as the customer nanomachine receives the control message; Sending a synchronization message for the response message to the customer nanomachine as soon as the reference nanomachine receives the response message; Calculating, by the customer nanomachine, a propagation delay between the customer nanomachine and the reference nanomachine based on the reception time of the control message and the reception time of the synchronization message; And synchronizing the clock oscillation time of the customer nanomachine with the clock oscillation time of the reference nanomachine based on the propagation delay of the customer nanomachine.
