Abstract Disaster Area Network (DAN) is very crucial in case of natural or man-made
disasters. During state of emergency, a rapidly deployable network is the highest priority to …

Disasters could cause communication systems to partially or completely down. In such a
case, relief operations need a rapidly deployed communication system to save lives …

A disaster is an event that obstructs the regular course of events. Communication between
nodes is severely hindered during disasters. As a result, an ad-hoc network method was …

Ad hoc networks have been proved to be suitable for disaster scenarios since any
infrastructure needs to be deployed in order to establish a wireless network. Routing …

A mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that can
dynamically configure a network without a fixed infrastructure or central administration. This …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a noncentralized, self-organized, and self-managed
wireless ad hoc network that is used in a specific circumstance. The changing nature of the …

We evaluate the performance of several routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks
(MANETs) in an emergency response scenario. The simulated scenario uses a disaster area …

The most important experiences we discovered from several disasters are that cellular
networks were vulnerable, and the loss of the communication system may have a …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are defined as a collection of wireless mobile nodes that
are characterized as independent, dynamic, self-adaptive and infrastructure less. This …

Ad hoc networks have been proved to be suitable for disaster scenarios since any
infrastructure need to be deployed in order to establish a wireless network. Routing …
