Abstract

This paper presents a stochastic analysis of the time-variant channel impulse response (CIR) of a three dimensional diffusive mobile molecular communication (MC) system where the transmitter, the absorbing receiver, and the molecules can freely diffuse. In our analysis, we derive the mean, variance, probability density function (PDF), and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the CIR. We also derive the PDF and CDF of the probability ${p}$ that a released molecule is absorbed at the receiver during a given time period. The obtained analytical results are employed for the design of drug delivery and MC systems with imperfect channel state information. For the first application, we..
