Extreme natural phenomena are occurring more frequently everyday in the world,
challenging, among others, the infrastructure of communication networks. For instance, the …

In post-disaster scenarios, for example, after earthquakes or floods, the traditional
communication infrastructure may be unavailable or seriously disrupted and overloaded …

Following a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake or a hurricane, existing
communication (eg, cellular towers) and other infrastructures (eg, power lines, roads etc.) …

The number of disasters has increased over the past decade where these calamities
significantly affect the functionality of communication networks. In the context of 6G, airborne …

Reliable communication in disaster-hit areas is crucial for effective rescue and relief
operations. This has encouraged the emergence of innovative, infrastructure-less, and ad …

Our future society will be increasingly digitalised, hyper-connected and globally data driven.
The sixth generation (6G) and beyond 6G wireless networks are expected to bridge the …

In this paper, we introduce a new paradigm for Search-and-Rescue Operations (SAROs)
after large-scale disasters, assuming wireless network cells are partially operational (called …

In the aftermath of large-scale disasters, such as earthquakes or hurricanes, existing
communication infrastructures are often critically impaired, preventing timely information …

This paper introduces the Adaptive Multi-Layered Non-Terrestrial Network (AMLT-NTN), an
architecture that integrates satellite, High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS), and Unmanned …

Effective communication among first responders during and in the aftermath of a disaster
can affect outcomes dramatically. We seek to build a resilient architecture that allows first …
