Intersymbol Interference (ISI) has a detrimental impact on any Molecular Communication via Diffusion (MCvD) system. Also, the receiver noise can severely degrade the MCvD channel performance. However, the channel codes proposed in the literature for the MCvD system have only addressed one of these two challenges independently. In this paper, we have designed single Error Correcting Codes in an MCvD system with channel memory and noise. We have also provided encoding and decoding algorithms for the proposed codes, which are simple to follow despite having a non-linear code construction. Finally, through simulation results, we show that the proposed single ECCs, for given code parameters, perform better than the existing codes in the literature in combating the effect of ISI in the channel and improving the average Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in a noisy channel.
