Abstract
In this paper, we consider a tabletop molecular communication (MC) system for exchange of information through flow assisted diffusion of ethanol chemical molecules. Designing modulation and demodulation algorithms for such setup is an important research problem. We propose a demodulation algorithm using Sampling based Adaptive Threshold Variation (S-ATV) for Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) and ON/OFF keying (OOK) based modulation techniques. The performance of BER with bit duration is plotted for proposed demodulation algorithm as well as Increase detection algorithm (IDA). It is found that the proposed S-ATV demodulation algorithm has better performance than IDA for smaller bit durations.

Low-complexity memory-assisted adaptive-threshold detection scheme for on-OFF-keying diffusion-based molecular communications

TL;DR: A novel adaptive-threshold detection algorithm suitable for binary On-OFF Keying (BOOK signaling), where the Rx adapts the 1/0 bit detection threshold based on past received bits helps to alleviate the inter-symbol interference resulting from residual (tail) diffusion molecules arriving at the receiver due to past bit transmissions and noise molecules.
