N2 - Calcium signalling is a good bio-inspired method for molecular communication due to the advantages of biocompatibility, stability, and long communication range. In this paper, we investigate a few channel characteristics of calcium signaling transfer systems including propagation distance and time delay based on a novel inter-cellular calcium wave (ICW) propagation model. Our model is the first one that can investigate the impact of some exclusive parameters in ICW (e.g., the gap junction permeability). Understanding the channel transfer characteristics of ICW can provide a significant reference for the calcium signaling application in molecular communication. In the future, theoretical and simulation results in this paper can help in the design of molecular communication systems between nanodevices.
