“…Fujiwara and Watanabe (2005) proposed a hybrid wireless network, combining ad hoc networks and a cellular network, for maintaining connectivity between a base station and nodes in a disaster. Berioli et al (2007) introduced Wireless Infrastructure over Satellite for Emergency Communication (WISECOM), which aims to develop a complete telecommunication solution that can be rapidly deployed after a disaster, replacing the traditional use of satellite phones or heavy devices. Oh et al (2010) proposed content-centric networking as a communication architecture providing retrieval of content by name in emergency MANETs.…”

a b s t r a c tSpecialized ad hoc networks of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been playing increasingly important roles in applications for homeland defense and security. Common resource virtualization techniques are mainly designed for stable networks; they fall short in providing optimal performance in more dynamic networks-such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs)-due to their highly dynamic and unstable nature. We propose application of Opportunistic Resource Utilization Networks (Oppnets), a novel type of MANETs, for UAV ad hoc networking. Oppnets provide middleware to facilitate building flexible and adaptive distributed systems that provide all kinds of resources or services to the requesting application via a helper mechanism. We simulated a homeland defense use case for Oppnets that involves detecting a suspicious watercraft. Our simulation compares performance of an Oppnet with a baseline case in which no Oppnet is used. The simulation results show that Oppnets are a promising framework for high-performance ad hoc UAV networking. They provide excellent performance even under imperfect (and realistic) conditions, such as a less invasive use of helpers, denial of help by some of the candidate helpers, and imperfect detection capabilities of Oppnet components.

“…C Improvement of receiver sensitivity C Reduction of probability of false detection C TTFF improvement 2) Reconfigurability: SDR-based multimodal terminal: The problem of restoring the lost wireless connectivity in the incident area network has been already considered by the EU Wireless Infrastructure over Satellite for Emergency Communication (WISWCOM) project [27], [28], and the envisaged solution consists of a transportable multistandard terminal obtained by integrating in a single box a pico-cellular base station for GSM, another one for UMTS, a Wi-Fi access point, and, finally, a satellite transceiver used to extend the coverage. We think that a step ahead with respect to state of the art should be done by exploiting the capabilities and the potentialities of software-defined radio (SDR) technologies.…”

“…Short Wave or satellite communication measure is often adopted nowadays in the emergency communication systems [2] [3], but both of them need specialized facilities and technology. As a result, they can only meet the communication of the important units such as government, army and telecommunication companies, and cannot deal with the abrupt large scale emergency communication after a disaster.…”

We propose a new model of aerial wireless emergency communication system which can satisfy a rapid and reliable communication with the outside world in disaster area. The architecture is described in detail in this paper. The aerocraft is equipped with the BTS (Base Transceiver Station ) to form a temporary aerial BS (Base Station) and one or several Ad Hoc networks are formed by aerial BSs. Handhold terminals in disaster area can connect the outside communication systems through the aerial Ad Hoc BS network. Some key technical parameters such as coverage area, link attenuation and system capacity are also analyzed. The result shows that one aerial BS can cover a county which is a unit of an information isolated island, and suffice the basic communication requirements. It's proved that this system is effective and feasible to be applied to meet an emergency.
