“…This is the period of time (first hour) in which the treatment of the patient in shock or with traumatic injuries is most critical [ 80 ]. In addition, the time for rescue can also be divided into the periods of less than 1 h, and 1–6 h [ 81 , 82 ]. In addition, time frame for providing the first action plan for providing critical resource needs is 12 h [ 83 , 84 ].…”

In this paper, we validate PREDIS, a decision support system for disaster management using serious games to collect experts’ judgments on its performance. PREDIS is a model for DISaster response supplier selection (PREDIS). It has a PREDictive component (PRED) for predicting the disaster human impact and an estimation component to Estimate the DISaster (EDIS) needs to optimise supplier-based resource allocation. A quasi-experiment design embedded in a participatory simulation game is conducted to compare the opinions of equal samples of 22 experts and non-experts. The following questions are put forward. First, “Does PREDIS model assists the decision makers to make the same decisions faster?” Second, “Does the PREDIS model assist the non-experts as simulated decision makers to decide like an expert?” Using AHP weights of decision makers’ preferences as well as Borda counts, the decisions are compared. The result shows that PREDIS helps to reduce the decision-making time by experts and non-experts to 6 h after the disaster strike, instead of the usual 72 h. It also assists 71% of the non-experts to make decisions similar to those made by experts. In summary, the PREDIS model has two major capabilities. It enables the experts and non-experts to predict the disaster results immediately using widely available data. It also enables the non-experts to decide almost the same as the experts; either in predicting the human impact of a disaster and estimating the needs or in selecting suitable suppliers.

“…More specifically, as shown in Figure 10, IoST consists of the ground station, customer premises, and on-Earth sensing devices which form (a) Electronics-based approach. Currently, CubeSats are being deployed for a variety of applications including Earth sensing [144], positioning, and IoT and machine-to-machine communications. Compared to traditional LEO satellites, CubeSats present a number of advantages relating to (i) lower costs and shorter development cycles and (ii) higher flexibility and scalability [142].…”

The next generation of wireless communication networks, or 6G, will fulfill the requirements of a fully connected world and provide ubiquitous wireless connectivity for all. Transformative solutions are expected to drive the surge for accommodating a rapidly growing number of intelligent devices and services. Major technological breakthroughs to achieve connectivity goals within 6G include: (i) a network operating at the THz band with much wider spectrum resources, (ii) intelligent communication environments that enable a wireless propagation environment with active signal transmission and reception, (iii) pervasive artificial intelligence, (iv) large-scale network automation, (v) an all-spectrum reconfigurable front-end for dynamic spectrum access, (vi) ambient backscatter communications for energy savings, (vii) the Internet of Space Things enabled by CubeSats and UAVs, and (viii) cell-free massive MIMO communication networks. In this roadmap paper, use cases for these enabling techniques as well as recent advancements on related topics are highlighted, and open problems with possible solutions are discussed, followed by a development timeline outlining the worldwide efforts in the realization of 6G. Going beyond 6G, promising early-stage technologies such as the Internet of NanoThings, the Internet of BioNanoThings, and quantum communications, which are expected to have a far-reaching impact on wireless communications, have also been discussed at length in this paper.

This survey studies the potential data link candidates for unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs). There has been tremendous growth in different applications of UAVs such as lifesaving and rescue missions, commercial use, recreations, etc. Unlike the traditional wireless communications, the data links for these systems do not have any general standardized framework yet to ensure safe co-existence of UAVs with other flying vehicles. This motivated us to provide a comprehensive survey of potential data link technologies available for UAVs. Our goal is to study the current trends and available candidates and carry out a comprehensive comparison among them. The contribution of this survey is to highlight the strength and weakness of the current data link options and their suitability to satisfy the UAVs communication requirements. Satellite links, cellular technologies, Wi-Fi and several similar wireless technologies are studied thoroughly in this paper. We also focus on several available promising standards that can be modified for these data links. Then, we discuss standard-related organizations that are working actively in the area of civilian unmanned systems. Finally, we bring up some future challenges in this area with several potential solutions to motivate further research work. Index Terms-Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV), civilian applications, data link, satellite communication, cellular communication, aviation standards, standard bodies, future challenges. SATCOM Provider ATC Pilot Cellular Provider Satellite UAV Cellular Tower Fig. 1 2 2) Network RequirementsThere are several survey papers discussing the requirements for UAS data link such as [2], and [9][10][11][12][13][14]. For example, the requirements for the UASs based on four different areas of missions, communication networks, communication data links, navigation, and surveillance are discussed in [2]. Several detailed discussions about the communication data link requirements such as range, velocity, latency, reliability, availability, integrity, security, and bit rate are provided. As another instance, a survey of UAVs communication requirements has been studied in [9]. These requirements are based on four categories of UAV applications (i.e., search and rescue, area coverage, delivery/transportation, and construction). Moreover, the important requirements and considerations regarding the network layer of UAV communications have been discussed in [14]. 3) Channel ModelingChannel modeling must be studied for designing and evaluating proper UAV data links for different applications. There have been several research work and surveys on channel modeling for UAV communications, such as [15][16][17][18]. For instance, a comprehensive survey on channel modeling for UAV communications is provided in [15]. Different channel modeling approaches along with the associated challenges have been studied. 4) Our ContributionWe have studied the existing survey papers on the aforementioned issues related to the UAV data links.
