- April 16, 2024: The TKN group presented two research talks at 8th Workshop on Molecular Communications 2024.
Saswati Pal analyzed how decay rates affect nanosensor performance, revealing that higher decay rates reduce variance in detection ratios.
In a second talk, Lisa Y. Debus presented a reinforcement learning-based synchronizer to continually adapt a decoding threshold and detect transmitted synchronization frames in a dynamic molecular communication environment.
- April 05, 2024: The Telecommunication Networks Group (TKN) held its annual research retreat "CCS on Tour 2024" from April 3rd to 6th. During the four-day event in Blossin, we had interesting discussions on research topics like Vehicular Clouds, machine learning, GPT, and wireless communications in 5G and 6G. We also discussed best practices for research and enjoyed social activities organized by the team.
We also thank for sponsoring our social activities.
- April 02, 2024: We welcome to Christos Laskos who joined our group in April 2024.
- April 02, 2024: We welcome to Sunasheer Bhattacharjee who joined our group in April 2024.
- March 06, 2024: Our article Electric Circuit Representation of the Human Circulatory System to Estimate the Position of Nanosensors in Vessels has been accepted for publication in the Elsevier Nano Communication Networks.

- March 02, 2024: We congratulate Rebecca Corinna Pampu for winning the "best bachelor thesis" award of the GI/ITG Communication and Distributed Systems (KuVS) special interest group! The prize will be awarded at NetSys 2025. Rebecca's thesis has already lead to a publication at NANOCOM 2023 with the title "Decoding Multiple Interfering Signals in a Macroscopic Air-based Molecular Communication System".
- March 02, 2024: The TKN group presented multiple research topics at VDE Biosignals.
Lisa Y. Debus presented her research topic on Molecular Communication receivers with Machine Learning modules, Saswati Pal introduced her research topic with information freshness in the human body, and Jorge Torres-Gomez the electric circuit model for the human vessels.
- February 19, 2024: Our article Low-Complex Synchronization Method for Intra-Body Links in the Terahertz Band has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications. This research contributes to precision medicine applications supported by nanotechnologies, where the design of a communication interface between in-body nanosensors and external gateways is crucial.
