Duality between Coronavirus Transmission and Air-based Macroscopic Molecular Communication
2020
This contribution exploits the duality between a viral infection process and macroscopic air-based molecular communication. Airborne aerosol and droplet transmission through the human respiratory processes is modeled as an instance of a multiuser molecular communication scenario employing respiratory-event-driven molecular (variable) concentration shift keying. Modeling is aided by an experimental molecular communication testbed based on fluorescent dyes and optical detection of aerosol and droplet clouds. A macroscopic molecular communication simulator is extended and used for estimating the transmission of infectious aerosols in different environments. The work is inspired by the recent outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
