In emergency scenarios, e.g., during a disaster, communication systems are partially (or completely) interrupted with very limited resources due to infrastructures destruction and hence the lack of essential services. Meanwhile, the demand for communication reaches its highest peak ever since users need to contact loved ones and make sure they are safe, inform first responders and local governments about surrounding conditions, and receive urgent instructions for safety and resilience. Rather than only high quality of service (QoS), the affected users now require high quality of sustainability (QoSus) of communications that are characterized by high response, interoperable and robust connections, high hit rate and delivery capacity of contents, and resource savings. In this talk, I’ll present our work on designing a sustainable multi-tier multi-hop emergency communication system (SMM-ECS) for high QoSuS to reduce as much harm as possible in emergency scenarios. Finally, we discuss the results to demonstrate the benefits of our proposed SMM-ECS.
