Artificial molecular communication network based on DNA nanostructures recognition by Junke Wang, Mo Xie, Lilin Ouyang, Jinggang Li, Lianhui Wang, Chunhai Fan, Jie Chao

“…After the implementation of DR-AMCN with various communication mechanisms including serial, parallel, orthogonal, and multiplexing, it is applied to construct various communication network topologies with bus, ring, star, tree, and hybrid structures. By the establishment of a node partition algorithm for path traversal based on DR-AMCN, the computational complexity of the seven-node Hamiltonian path problem is reduced with the final solution directly obtained through the rate-zonal centrifugation method, and scalability of this approach is also demonstrated. …”
