Support for Resilient Communications in Future Disaster Management

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Computer and Information Sciences II

Abstract

Disasters are often accompanied by damage to critical infrastructure, including (wireless) communications infrastructure. Our solution for emergency communications is based on advanced networks: Generalized Access Networks (GANs), Body Area Networks (BANs) and Vehicular Networks, to support dynamic, resilient communication services for disaster management.
