Abstract
A molecular communication system includes a molecular transmitter (20) configured to transmit an information molecules (15) onto which prescribed information is encoded; a molecular receiver (30) configured to receive the information molecule, a molecule propagation channel (40) extending from the molecular transmitter to the molecular receiver, and a molecular capsule (10) configured to encapsulate the information molecules to be transmitted from the molecular transmitter to the molecular receiver, wherein the surfaces of the molecular transmitter, the molecular receiver, and the molecular capsule have lipid bilayer membrane structure, and wherein the system further includes encapsulation means for applying a first chemical substance to the molecular transmitter, or to the molecular transmitter and the molecular capsule to encapsulate the information molecules into the molecular capsule, and decapsulation means for applying a second chemical substance to the molecular capsule and the molecular receiver to take the information molecules out of the molecular capsule and take them into the molecular receiver.
