论文摘要
已经通过不同学科的各种学科的研究人员独立于彼此独立地提出了许多用于了解空降传染病（例如Covid-19）所需的传播模型的传播模型。我们提出了一种融合不同学科的通信工程方法，例如流行病学，生物学，医学和流体动力学。目的是使用通信工程提出一个统一的框架，并强调未来的研究方向，以通过空中传播建模传染病的传播。我们介绍了移动人类临时网络（MOHANETS）的概念，该网络利用了以移动临时网络为基础的机载传输驱动的人类群体的相似性，并将分子通信用作启用范式。在Mohanet结构中，采用了分层结构，其中传染性人类发射含有病原体的液滴和暴露于这些液滴的人被视为发射器和接收器。我们使用经验证明的结果验证了我们的概念验证结果，清楚地证明了我们的莫哈内特结构通过考虑含有病原体液滴的传播，其接受和人类的迁移的能力来预测传染病的动态。
A number of transmission models for airborne pathogens transmission, as required to understand airborne infectious diseases such as COVID-19, have been proposed independently from each other, at different scales, and by researchers from various disciplines. We propose a communication engineering approach that blends different disciplines such as epidemiology, biology, medicine, and fluid dynamics. The aim is to present a unified framework using communication engineering, and to highlight future research directions for modeling the spread of infectious diseases through airborne transmission. We introduce the concept of mobile human ad hoc networks (MoHANETs), which exploits the similarity of airborne transmission-driven human groups with mobile ad hoc networks and uses molecular communication as the enabling paradigm. In the MoHANET architecture, a layered structure is employed where the infectious human emitting pathogen-laden droplets and the exposed human to these droplets are considered as the transmitter and receiver, respectively. Our proof-of-concept results, which we validated using empirical COVID-19 data, clearly demonstrate the ability of our MoHANET architecture to predict the dynamics of infectious diseases by considering the propagation of pathogen-laden droplets, their reception and mobility of humans.
