Efficient Multimedia Content Transmission Model for Disaster Management using Delay Tolerant Mobile Adhoc Networks

Abstract

Natural and manmade disasters such as earthquakes, floods, unprecedented rainfall, etc. pose several threats to our society. The citizens upload disaster information in the form of multimedia content such as pictures, audio, and videos. Efficient information and communication framework are critical for disaster management. Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) have been used effectively for disaster management. However, Disaster management prerequisites following Quality of Service (QoS) requirements such as bandwidth, high delivery ratio, low overhead, and minimal latency; however, the existing data transmission scheme induces high latency and overhead among intermediate devices; In order to meet the QoS requirement of disaster management applications in this paper, High Delivery Efficiency and Low Latency Multimedia Content Transmission (HDELL-MCT) scheme for MANETs is presented. Then, an improved buffer management scheme is presented for meeting disaster management performance and latency prerequisites. The experiment is conducted using ONE Simulator, the outcome shows the HDELL-MCT scheme achieves very good performance considering different QoS metrics such as improving delivery ratio by 38.02%, reducing latency by 7.53% and minimizing hop communication overhead by 65.1% in comparison with existing multimedia content transmission model.

Adaptive radio propagation model for maximizing performance efficiency in smart city disaster management application

“…In addition, in this section, in order to determine whether or not the addition of dynamic-network controller (DNC) to the MANET would be beneficial, experiments and comparative analyses have been carried out with both AMAC and AMAC-DNC. The SIMITS simulator [27], [28] is used to develop the RP model, and this RP model is subsequently integrated in One Simulator [29]. For discussing the proposed work, the results and discussion section has been  ISSN: 2252-8938 Int J Artif Intell, Vol.…”

A study on routing metrics to improve the quality of service in MANET environment

“…Research on the use of (MANET) in crisis management was presented by Mangasuli, S., and Kaluti [29]. Quality of Service (QoS) criteria for disaster management include things like bandwidth, a high delivery ratio, low overhead, and low latency.…”
