Communications Evolution Beyond LTE

Communications has evolved a long way since 1875!

LTE is Here!

But if “Long Term Evolution” is here, what’s next?

LTE Advanced

Then After That?

The Future of Communications: Innovation from the Cell

Cellular (Molecular) Information Theoryis the application of Claude Shannon's information theory to molecular patterns and states

The Cell is the most complex & amazing communication system imaginable!- DNA code is a code (ATCG) and genes are subroutines

- Communication takes place over a noisy channel from a sender to a receiver- Highly Sophisticated (OSI Stacks and multiple levels of Operating Systems)

-Highly Reliable with Redundancy & Error Correction built-in- Stressful environments result in new code and systems

- Biodegradable

But Our Reality is LTE!!
