Evaluation of Dense Cooperative Relay Deployments for Autonomic Emergency Communications

  • Conference paper
Book cover Mobile Networks and Management (MONAMI 2012)

Abstract

The consideration of the concept of autonomic cooperative networking is very well justified in the context of emergency communications. Emergency networks are instantiated on demand in the areas of incident and are formed by First Responders who are coordinated by Chief First Responders. This way, the the entire networked emergency system might attempt to adapt accurately to the changing conditions and requirements. Specifically, it is possible to employ cooperative transmission between different Chief First Responders so that, for resilience purposes, they would be in a position to mutually support the transmission of the same data. This paper provides an analysis of cooperative set-ups of this type allowing to quantify potential gains which would result from autonomic switching among densely populated Chief First Responders.
