The Clock-Free Asynchronous Receiver Design for Molecular Timing Channels in Diffusion-Based Molecular Communications

In diffusion-based molecular communications, time synchronization is a major reason for the increase of system structure complexity. In this paper, we consider the asynchronous receiver design for molecular communications with information symbols conveyed in the time of released molecules. The main contribution of this paper is that we develop a detector called clock-free asynchronous receiver design (CFARD), in which the receiver recovers the...
