  Nanomachines promise to enable new medical applications, including drug
delivery and real time chemical reactions' detection inside the human body.
Such complex tasks need cooperation between nanomachines using a communication
network. Wireless Ad hoc networks, using molecular or electromagnetic-based
communication have been proposed in the literature to create flexible
nanonetworks between nanomachines. In this paper, we propose a Wired Ad hoc
NanoNETwork (WANNET) model design using actin-based nano-communication. In the
proposed model, actin filaments self-assembly and disassembly is used to create
flexible nanowires between nanomachines, and electrons are used as carriers of
information. We give a general overview of the application layer, Medium Access
Control (MAC) layer and a physical layer of the model. We also detail the
analytical model of the physical layer using actin nanowire equivalent
circuits, and we present an estimation of the circuit component's values.
Numerical results of the derived model are provided in terms of attenuation,
phase and delay as a function of the frequency and distances between
nanomachines. The maximum throughput of the actin-based nanowire is also
provided, and a comparison between the maximum throughput of the proposed
WANNET, vs other proposed approaches is presented. The obtained results prove
that the proposed wired ad hoc nanonetwork can give a very high achievable
throughput with a smaller delay compared to other proposed wireless molecular
communication networks.
