NeuroSim: A Neuronal Signaling Simulator for Nanoscale Intrabody Sensor Networks

Abstract. This paper proposes and evaluates a simulator for nanoscale intrabody sensor networks that utilize neurons as a primary commu-nication medium and neuronal signals (i.e., electrochemical signals) as communication signals, The proposed simulator, called NeuroSim, is de-signed to integrate various simulation components such as neuronal net-work generators, visualizers and editors and communication schedulers for neuronal signal transmissions. This paper describes key components in NeuroSim and evaluates them with a case study that implements a TDMA signaling protocol in a simulated neuronal network.
