Abstract

We consider molecular communication systems and show it is possible to train detectors without any knowledge of the underlying channel models. In particular, we demonstrate that a technique we previously developed, which is called sliding bidirectional recurrent neural network (SBRNN), performs well for a wide range of channel states when it is trained using a dataset that contains many sample transmissions under various channel conditions. We also demonstrate that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed SBRNN detector is better than that of a Viterbi detector (VD) with imperfect channel state information (CSI) and it is computationally efficient.
