Introduction

Modern mobile communication is developing not only in the direction of

increasing the speed of data transmission, but also in expanding the range of transmitted

information, including sensory sensations. One of the most promising areas is smell teleportation

— a digital transmission of aromatic signals that provides emotional and sensory enrichment of

communication. Smell perception plays an important role in human cognitive and emotional

processes, which makes this technology particularly relevant for various fields-from distance

learning and medicine to entertainment and e-commerce.
Despite significant progress in the field of digital transmission of visual and tactile data,

technologies for teleporting odors remain at the stage of active research. The main technical

challenges are related to the precise emulation of chemical and physiological processes of smell,

the development of miniaturized and energy-efficient devices for generating aromas, as well as

the creation of efficient data transmission protocols with low latency in next-generation mobile

networks.
The aim of this work is to systematically review modern technologies for teleporting odors,

analyze existing methods for transmitting and reproducing odors, and evaluate the prospects for

their integration with 5G and 6G mobile networks to create new forms of touch-based mobile

communication.
The human olfactory system is a highly specialized biological apparatus that provides perception

and recognition of a wide range of aromatic molecules. The main organ of smell is the nasal

cavity, where olfactory receptors are located-specialized neurons that can bind to volatile

chemicals.
When odour molecules enter the nasal cavity, they interact with olfactory receptors, which

initiates a cascade of biochemical reactions that convert a chemical signal into an electrical nerve

impulse. These impulses are transmitted through the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb of the

brain, where primary information processing takes place. Then the signals are sent to the higher

parts of the central nervous system, which leads to awareness and recognition of the smell.
The uniqueness of the human sense of smell lies in its sensitivity and ability to distinguish more

than 10,000 different odors. Olfactory receptors are selective for various molecules, which

provides a complex perception of aromatic compositions and their emotional impact.

Figure.1. Integration of biological and digital components in smell teleportation technologies

The study of olfactory physiology is key to the development of effective technologies for digital

transmission of odors, as it allows you to determine the signal parameters that need to be

reproduced for reliable emulation of the smell experience.
Digital teleportation of odors requires accurate and controlled reproduction of aromatic

substances. Modern devices for generating odors are based on the principles of

microencapsulation of aromatic compounds, where activated chemical components are released

as volatile molecules.
Another promising area is the use of microfluidics and chemical synthesis of aromas in real time.

Such systems use specialized cartridges with basic aromatic substances, mixing them in the right

proportions to form unique smell compositions. This allows you to provide a wide range of

reproducible flavors with minimal resources.
In addition, technologies for non-contact exposure to olfactory receptors using electromagnetic

waves, in particular in the terahertz range, which can stimulate nerve endings without releasing

chemicals, are being investigated, which opens up prospects for creating compact and hygienic

devices.
The transmission of odors in digital format requires efficient encoding of chemical information,

taking into account the multidimensional nature and complexity of aromatic signatures. The

main task is to reduce the unique properties of odors to a set of digital parameters, such as

intensity, duration, combination of basic aromas and time characteristics.
Coding methods include spectral analysis of aromatic substances, digital modeling, and the use

of machine learning algorithms to recognize and recreate odor profiles. This allows you to

compress the amount of data without losing the quality of perception.
The transmission of such data in mobile networks requires adaptation of protocols to take into

account the characteristics of sensory information. An important aspect is minimizing latency

and ensuring reliable transmission, which is achieved by using 5G and 6G capabilities, including

URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications) and Network Slicing.
Fifth (5G) and sixth (6G) generation networks provide the necessary infrastructure for

implementing smell teleportation due to the following characteristics:

High throughput required for transmitting large amounts of sensor data.

Minimal delay that allows you to synchronize the transmission of odors with audio and

video content.

Reliable and secure transmission, ensuring stable and accurate reproduction of sensor signals.

The ability to virtualize and dynamically allocate resources through Network Slicing

technologies to prioritize touch data.
Sensor devices are integrated with mobile networks through specialized APIs and protocols that

ensure compatibility and scalability of smell teleportation systems.

Smell teleportation can significantly expand the interactivity of educational platforms, especially

in the fields of biology, chemistry, cooking, and medicine. The use of smell signals allows you to

create deeper sensory impressions, improving the assimilation of material and student

engagement.
In medical practice, digital smell transmission can be used for remote aromatherapy,

psychological rehabilitation, and patient monitoring. The ability to elicit certain emotional and

physiological responses through odors opens up new possibilities for therapy and diagnosis.
Integrating scents into multimedia content and virtual environments enhances the immersive

experience, making the user experience more realistic and emotionally charged. This is relevant

for the film industry, computer games, as well as theme parks and museums.
In e-commerce, digital smell teleportation allows consumers to" feel " the aroma of products (for

example, perfumes, food) remotely, which helps to increase confidence and increase sales.
The technology of smell teleportation within the framework of sensor mobile communication is

an advanced direction at the intersection of neurotechnology, telecommunications and materials

science. Modern developments in the field of electronic noses (e-nose) and synthetic olfactory

systems allow digitizing and transmitting odors, opening the way to the formation of a full-

fledged multi-channel interaction between users.
Research conducted by institutions such as Keio University (Japan), MIT Media Lab (USA) and

KAIST (South Korea) is already demonstrating prototypes of devices that can transmit odors at

the command of software interfaces. For example, the startup Aromajoin develops dynamic

aroma modules for the film industry and advertising, and the company FeelReal Inc. creates

virtual reality headsets with the ability to transmit odors in games and movies.
It is scientifically proven that odors play a key role in the formation of emotional memory and

cognitive perception (Herz, 2004), which means that their transmission enhances the effect of

presence and can become the foundation of a new generation of mobile interfaces. The prospects

for using these technologies cover not only entertainment, but also e-commerce, healthcare,

education, and even neuropsychological rehabilitation.
However, the implementation of full-fledged smell teleportation requires solving a number of

scientific problems: standardization of aromas in digital form (aroma coding), safe stimulation of

olfactory receptors, reduction of energy costs of smell generators, and protection of users from

sensory overload.
Thus, smell teleportation as a component of sensory mobile communication can become part of

the Sensory Internet of Things (SIoT) concept, expanding the boundaries of human perception in

the digital world. This area deserves close attention of the scientific community and can

transform both the technical and cultural paradigm of mobile communication in the XXI century.
