The purpose of this research paper is to ensure reliable and continuous communication between the rescue officers and other people during disaster recovery and reconstruction operations. Most of the communication infrastructure gets damaged during the disaster and proper communication cannot be established in the area which leads to longer delays in emergency operations and increased damage to life and property. Various methods proposed to enable communication between the people using wireless ad hoc networks do not guarantee reliable delivery of data with fast moving devices. This paper presents a Reliable Routing Technique (RRT) that ensures reliable data delivery at the destination device even when the people with the mobile devices are moving in the network. We make use of the broadcasting property of the wireless network and create a priority list of probable forwarding candidates at each device. With this technique, RRT ensures that if a forwarder device is unable to forward the data packet due to movement of mobile devices, the next priority candidate forwards the data packet to the destination device, thus ensuring reliability of data delivery in the network. Simulation results show that RRT achieves significant performance improvement with better data delivery in ad hoc networks.

“…In order to carry out efficient and quick recovery, the rescue workers, police officers and everyone involved may have to move at a fast pace to different locations within the area to minimize the damage and to find out more survivors of the disaster. Opportunistic routing helps to deliver data between the rescue officers and helps in disaster recovery and reconstruction operations [34][35].  Internet connectivity in remote areas: Opportunistic routing can be used to provide internet connectivity and data transfer in remote and rural areas.…”

Recent advances in wireless networks have enabled us to deploy and use mobile ad hoc networks for communication between the rescue officers in disaster recovery and reconstruction operations. This highly dynamic network does not require any infrastructure or centralized control. As the topology of the network remain dynamic, severe performance limitations incur with traditional routing strategies. Recently a new routing paradigm known as opportunistic routing protocols have been proposed to overcome these limitations and to provide efficient delivery of data in these highly dynamic ad hoc networks. Using the broadcasting nature of the wireless medium, this latest routing technique tries to address two major issues of varying link quality and unpredictable node mobility in ad hoc networks. Unlike conventional IP forwarding, where an intermediate node looks up a forwarding table for a suitable next hop, opportunistic routing brings in opportunistic data forwarding that allows multiple candidate nodes in the forwarding area to act on the broadcasted data packet. This increases the reliability of data delivery in the network with reduced delay. One of the most important issues that have not been studied so far is the varying performance of opportunistic routing protocols in wireless networks with highly mobile nodes. This research paper analyses and compares the various advantages, disadvantages and the performance of the latest opportunistic routing protocols in wireless ad hoc networks with highly mobile nodes.

“…By this occurrence, local network infrastructures such as cell towers or cell sites were often rendered non-functional, hindering communications that affect disaster rescue plans and rescue actions [7]. It is very important for authorities like police, fire department, and rescue teams to have a reliable communication in order to have better coordination and cooperation to make quick and efficient interventions in emergency or disaster situation [8] [9]. Some earlier papers mentioned four means of communication that could be used in a typical event of emergency or disaster.…”

“…Some earlier papers mentioned four means of communication that could be used in a typical event of emergency or disaster. First was the public communication network which was used as our normal method of communication, although it has a wide range, it was mostly On the previous research paper, it mentioned emergency or disaster as a sudden event such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, fires, terrorist attacks, tornados, and other calamities that cause harm, suffering, or loss [8][7]. On the event of September 11 (9/11), where World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists using hijacked airplanes resulting to large scale damage of properties, several people were harmed and lots of them lost their lives on that disaster.…”

“…During the rescue operations, the fire department suffered several casualties when the warning that the north tower was about to collapse from the police helicopter was not heard by firefighters. Furthermore, there was no proper dissemination of information between authorities that's why the evaluation of the towers was not advised by 911 operators to the callers since they were not well informed on the situation [8]. Also, a disaster occurred on Japan on March 2011, where an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 takes place at the northeast of Tokyo that causes a disaster through 30-foot waves damaging several nuclear reactors in that area.…”

In emergency or disaster situations, when communications were interrupted due to damaged local network infrastructures, coordination are affected. Moreover, the deployment of specialized technologies such as satellite and shortwave communication network were found impractical. The objective of the study was first, to construct an improvised antenna that will be tested on an area with no cellular network and test the router's operating range using it, and second, to design and develop a mobile multimedia messaging application that utilizes WLAN to send data. Results of the testing shows that improvised antenna achieved operating range of 192 meters, the range achieved 215 meters in area with no cellular network, and the application was capable of sending multimedia messages over WLAN.Institute of the Philippines-Manila, Philippines. subjected to unavailability when disaster happens since its infrastructure was prone to destruction. The second was the private communication network, which was intended particularly for the needs of government or public welfare but tends to be incompatible with other communication methods. The third was the satellite communication, this network provides a very wide coverage but when it comes to its transport bandwidth, it lacks the system capacity allowing only the access of special terminals. The fourth was the shortwave communication, though the stability and bandwidth performance of this network was poor, its strength was its survivability [10]. Utilization of satellite and short wave in emergency communication systems as a means of communication was adopted but requires specialized facilities and technologies. As a result, government units, military army, and telecommunication companies could only use such technologies [11] [12].On the viewpoint of the previous research papers, local network infrastructures were most likely be damaged and would not work properly or would stop functioning in case of disaster and would result on the interruption of communications between authorities, affecting their coordination and cooperation in rescuing persons at risk or an emergency situation. Moreover, when local network infrastructures were rendered non-functional, deployment of specialized technologies such as satellite and shortwave communication network was found impractical.Thus, this study attempt to develop an IEEE 802.11 compliant antenna with a WLAN mobile multimedia messaging application for emergency communication purposes. II. LITERATURE REVIEW A. Importance of Communication in Emergency or Disaster SituationEmergency communication means the communication methods multipurpose using different communication resources to ensure rescue and necessary communication when the natural or man-made emergency situation happens and the regular communication resource can't meet the suddenly increased communication needs [10].
