“…In [15], Chiti et al present a wireless infrastructure based on a WiMAX interconnecting backbone and local wireless ad-hoc (IEEE 802.11x) and sensor networks for coverage extension and monitoring purposes. This architecture is especially interesting for connectivity roll-out in and monitoring of bigger areas without (or with destroyed) infrastructure avoiding satellite-like round trip times.…”

“…As also proposed by different authors [40,29,30,15,24,37] and projects [3,2], a wireless mesh network deployed at crisis sites can be a great tool to allow a fast setup of basic communication infrastructure providing higher bandwidths, interconnected by other publicly available or dedicated networks like TETRA or satellite or 3G. As described in [21], VPAN allows usage and fast deployment of this mesh network as it takes care of security, mobility and interconnecting remote clusters seamlessly.…”

In this paper the Virtual Private Ad Hoc Networking (VPAN) platform is introduced as an integrated networking solution for many applications that require secure transparent continuous connectivity using heterogeneous devices and network technologies. This is done by creating a virtual logical self-organizing network on top of existing network technologies reducing complexity and maintaining session continuity right from the start. One of the most interesting applications relies in the field of emergency communication with its specific needs which will be discussed in this paper and matched in detail against the architecture and features of the VPAN platform. The concept and dynamics are demonstrated and evaluated with measurements done on real hardware.

“…At the same time, there is a significant growth in the use of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) for distributed emergency applications/services (e.g. disaster recovery, surveillance, and health monitoring) [3,4]. These emergency applications require a strict quality of service (QoS) guarantee with the provision of in-channel preemption (e.g.…”

Traditional emergency communication system cannot meet the status of emergency communications needs. In accordance with the requirements of the establishment of a reliable, flexible and robust emergency communication network, this paper introduces in detail the emergency communication network, the design idea and key technology based on the ad hoc network.Emergency communication can effectively deal with major natural disasters and emergencies by providing timely and reliable communication service and it has special requirements on communication and distinctive features [1]: communication services highly survivable and strong adaptability, communication time of emergency and location with the meaning of uncertainty and information diversity and process of transient. The existing communication system has not fully considered the requirements and characteristics of the communication.At present, the domestic emergency communication technology is relatively backward, and the self-organized ability and survivability of the emergency communication system is low. When the communication infrastructure is not available, emergency communications support needs to be provided with the help of satellite, shortwave and trunking communication system. But it is still difficult to meet the rapid formation of reliable, efficient, robust adaptation requirements of emergency communication network of various types of user groups. As the public communication network is not reliable, and easy to cause network congestion; trunking communication system can set up fast call and support group call, broadcast call and supplementary services, but its coverage and communication capacity is small, usually confined to command and control application, and still rely on the basic communication facilities; satellite communications is vigorous and healthy, covering a wide range, but it has limited transmission capacity, high cost in deployment and difficulty in technical support. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce new techniques and methods, deploy emergency communication network rapidly, provide diversified timely manner for all types of users to meet their demand for communication services, conduct real-time monitoring of specific areas and make rapid response to emergencies, and coordinate all rescue forces after the implementation of emergency rescue and disaster relief and post disaster reconstruction.With the rapid development of information and network technology, many new techniques gradually mature and show the characteristic in the field of emergency communication, especially the extensive research of industry wireless network (wireless self organizing network and WSON). WSON is the organic combination of the mobile communication network and computer network, which has the characteristics of no infrastructure support, automatic network, multi hop relaying etc. It has stronger network survivability and flexibility, especially suitable for battlefield, remote areas, emergency and temporary communication occasions.
