The novel concept of Internet of Nano Things (IoNT) brings even larger groups of nanomachines collaborating to achieve more complex tasks in the military, medical, and security fields. Moreover, Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) is an emerging technology defining the seamless connection of nanomachines and biological entities with each other where they can access the traditional wireless communication networks to provide novel Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as health monitoring, healthcare, and targeted therapy. The exchange of information between biological cells is based on the synthesis, transformation, emission, propagation, and reception of molecules. This information exchange is recently classified in telecommunications as molecular communication which is a biologically inspired technique to communicate in very small dimension networks. In nanonetworks, a high number of nanothings will operate in the same medium and they interfere with each other. Multiuser interference will create significant limits. Hence, we introduce to use the direction of releasing molecules as a new property to convey information. Releasing the molecules to the specific directions enhances the performance of molecular communication systems due to multiusers interference mitigation. Hence, adjacent transmitters can convey information in different directions, simultaneously. Then, we propose the binary direction shift keying (BDSK) modulation scheme where the transmitter pumps molecules in two different directions. Next, we obtain the error probability and achievable bit rate of BDSK modulation. Finally, we evaluate the performance of BDSK modulation by numerical results. The result of this article can be useful for molecular communication relay systems where relay nodes convey information to the different destinations.
