ISI-Mitigating Character Encoding for Molecular communications via Diffusion
share
This letter introduces a novel algorithm for generating codebooks in molecular communications (MC). The proposed algorithm utilizes character entropy to effectively mitigate inter-symbol interference (ISI) during MC via diffusion. Based on Huffman coding, the algorithm ensures that consecutive bit-1s are avoided in the resulting codebook. Additionally, the error-correction process at the receiver effectively eliminates ISI in the time slot immediately following a bit-1. We conduct an ISI analysis, which confirms that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces decoding errors. Through numerical analysis, we demonstrate that the proposed codebook exhibits superior performance in terms of character error rate compared to existing codebooks. Furthermore, we validate the performance of the algorithm through experimentation on a real-time testbed.
