Resumen

In this paper, we consider a flow-guided nanocommunication network deployed inside of a human vascular system. The network augments the human immune system helping with health issues related to serious bacterial infections, as well as with blood circulation and heart diseases. The network consists of nano-probes reporting medical issues, small nano-nodes working as information carriers, and nano-routers communicating with external medical systems. In order to evaluate the network performance, we propose a network architecture, discuss potential emerging medical applications and, finally, present some numerical results.
