“…This system, named LOCATE, has two main components: a mobile application through which users can convey minimal yet vital emergency-related data, and a dissemination protocol to spread the emergency requests over multi-hop LoRa links. In [20], the same research group extended the LOCATE system, adding a probabilistic store-and-forward mechanism derived from Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) to it as a dissemination protocol. Although this is a very interesting proposal, it is not suitable for disaster scenarios, because of the typical limitations of scalability of the probabilistic store-and-forward protocols derived from DTNs [21].…”

“…Provided that LoRa can be used to calculate the position in areas with poor GPS coverage, Lahouli et al proposed a way to infer firefighters' locations and distances based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard-compliant UWB radios, and to provide updated reports of positions using a communications solution based on LoRa [28]. In the same line, Sciullo et al used LoRa for ad hoc message communication and also for trilateration in order to identify users' geolocation [20].…”

Civilians in areas hit by earthquakes become in particular concerned about the safety of family and friends. However, outages in communications networks following these events limit their capacity to get information. So, people drive their cars to check on their loved ones, risking their own lives and hindering the activities of first response organizations. This article proposes LoRaMoto, a communications system that allows civilians to exchange information about their status with others without hampering the first responders and minimizing their exposure to hazards. Furthermore, the information exchanged can be aggregated to support the operations of emergency management. LoRaMoto extends the LoRaWAN architecture and implements a packet-forwarding mechanism between the end nodes of the system. This helps overcome potential infrastructure blackouts after an earthquake, so it provides safety awareness information when it is most needed. We evaluated the system performance and capacity of this system by simulating its use in a realistic environment, testing a baseline configuration, and exploring several modifications to better understand its scalability and its portability to other emergency environments. The simulation results show how the LoRaMoto system can meet the communication needs of civilians, and also keep first response and emergency management organizations informed.

“…Sciullo et al [56] extended the preliminary version of LOCATE to connect to a LoRa transceiver via BLE. This means that through the mobile-based app, users can send emergency requests that have been re-broadcasted by other peers (LOCATE Users) until they reach the rescue personnel who can handle the emergency.…”

A Survey on Long-Range Wide-Area Network Technology Optimizations

Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN) enables flexible long-range service communications with low power consumption which is suitable for many IoT applications. The densification of LoRaWAN, which is needed to meet a wide range of IoT networking requirements, poses further challenges. For instance, the deployment of gateways and IoT devices are widely deployed in urban areas, which leads to interference caused by concurrent transmissions on the same channel. In this context, it is crucial to understand aspects such as the coexistence of IoT devices and applications, resource allocation, Media Access Control (MAC) layer, network planning, and mobility support, that directly affect LoRaWAN's performance. We present a systematic review of state-of-the-art works for LoRaWAN optimization solutions for IoT networking operations. We focus on five aspects that directly affect the performance of LoRaWAN. These specific aspects are directly associated with the challenges of densification of LoRaWAN. Based on the literature analysis, we present a taxonomy covering five aspects related to LoRaWAN optimizations for efficient IoT networks. Finally, we identify key research challenges and open issues in LoRaWAN optimizations for IoT networking operations that must be further studied in the future.

“…The new crown pneumonia epidemic is a public emergency. A high level and effective emergency management system for public emergencies includes a complete organizational structure [1] . In previous studies, due to the dynamics and complexity of emergencies, there are problems of decentralized departments, decentralized materials, and poor dynamic coordination among multiple entities.…”

“…The whole process of emergency management requires the overall arrangement of the decision making department, mobilize various social resources in the emergency process, and form a situation of multi-party cooperation in order to realize the efficient and reasonable allocation of emergency resources [13] . This requires the support of the overall planning cooperation model, which should u, and the adjustment time required is t. The deviation between the disposal result of the adjusted scheme and the best effect is τ, and the efficiency is expressed as H. Then in the important mileage stage B i of emergency management, the adjustment efficiency of event result D j is as formula: H ij =H ij (t ij (1) , u ij (1) , τ ij ). If the probability of occurrence of event result D j is p j , then the expected value of adjustment effectiveness of B i is expressed as follows: H i =Ʃp j H ij (t ij (1) , u ij (1) , τ ij ).…”

Shang et al.: Coronavirus Pneumonia Management System Based on Multi Agent CooperationIn the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the traditional emergency management system is restricted by the information exchange between multiple subjects, and in the actual process, its coordination is relatively poor. To this end, the establishment of an emergency management system for the prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia based on a multi agent cooperation mechanism is proposed. Establish different cooperation models between the subjects involved in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, adjust the effectiveness of emergency tasks for the emergency tasks between different subjects, and build a prevention and control emergency management system based on the principle of the shortest time or the least resource utilization. Realize collaboration and cooperation between the various subjects. The experimental results show that the constructed emergency management system for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic based on a multi agent cooperation mechanism has less running time and high task completion in practical applications. Compared with the traditional emergency management system, its coordination is stronger.
