Abstract:<\/b><\/p>\n

This paper focuses on the development of a novel radio channel model inside the human skin at the terahertz range, which will enable the interaction among potential nano-machines operating in the inter cellular areas of the human skin. Thorough studies are performed on the attenuation of electromagnetic waves inside the human skin, while taking into account the frequency of operation, distance between the nano-machines and number of sweat ducts. A novel channel model is presented for communication of nano-machines inside the human skin and its validation is performed by varying the aforementioned parameters with a reasonable accuracy. The statistics of error prediction between simulated and modeled data are: mean (\u03bc)= 0.6 dB and standard deviation (\u03c3)= 0.4 dB, which indicates the high accuracy of the prediction model as compared with measurement data from simulation. In addition, the results of proposed channel model are compared with terhaertz time-domain spectroscopy based measurement of skin sample and the statistics of error prediction in this case are: \u03bc = 2.10 dB and \u03c3 = 6.23 dB, which also validates the accuracy of proposed model. Results in this paper highlight the issues and related challenges while characterizing the communication in such a medium, thus paving the way towards novel research activities devoted to the design and the optimization of advanced applications in the healthcare domain.<\/p>\n

I. Introduction<\/b><\/p>\n

With the growing demand of nanotechnology in all of the domains of science and engineering, it is gaining enormous attention from the various disciplines and domains. The connectivity of the nano-devices to conduct complex tasks led to the proposal of the nano-networks<\/strong>, followed by the concept of nano-communication<\/p>\n

[1]. Main applications of nano-networks<\/strong> are categorized as, but are not limited to, biomedical, environmental, industrial, and military<\/p>\n

[2], which can also be extended into other fields like consumer electronics, lifestyle, and home appliances. Its application in medical diagnostics and treatment has a quite bright future, because of its ability to access small and delicate body sites noninvasively, where conventional medical devices fall short<\/p>\n

[3]. Electromagnetic-based communications, handled in the terahertz band, are considered a viable technique for supporting data exchange in the nano-machines <\/strong><\/p>\n

[4]. While almost all other portions of the spectrum are already deployed in the medical applications, the properties of the terahertz (THz) band<\/strong> open a new era and interest because of its non-ionization hazards for biological tissues and less susceptibility to some of propagation effects (i.e., Rayleigh scattering) [5].<\/p>\n
