Abstract
There is provided a molecular communication system capable of transmitting an information molecule in which predetermined information is encoded to a target destination under good controllability. The molecular communication system includes a molecular transmitter for transmitting the information molecule with prescribed information encoded, a molecular receiver for receiving the information molecule, and a molecule transmission channel extending between the molecular transmitter and the molecular receiver. The molecule transmission channel defines a transmission path formed of macromolecular (or polymer) materials, along which carrier molecules are circulating in a prescribed direction. The information molecule output from the molecular transmitter is loaded on the carrier molecule and carried to the molecular receiver.
