MANET based Dynamic Power Conscious Emergency Communication Module (original) (raw)

Abstract

Deployment of Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) plays an important role in post- disaster situations where fixed network infrastructure is unavailable. Once deployed, the network nodes would self-configure to provide connectivity and form a communication network. Based on recent disaster of debris flow in the town of Leh in Ladakh, Indian controlled Kashmir, there is a need for alternatives to communicate with people within the disaster struck area. Life came to a standstill in Leh, with communication and transport fractured beyond the point of immediate repair. Cellular networks highly dependable during emergency, power lines and backhaul links that connected base stations to their controllers were completely wiped out and roads connecting to the surrounding regions were blocked. During disaster Emergency response personnel must be able to exchange information with each other with ubiquitous communication to successfully track the victims. MANET based communication modules in disaster struck areas connect with the people around the world and also track the victims. This paper mainly focuses on the low power consumption of MANETs deployed in emergencies while still achieving high packet success rate, intimates the need for dynamic power routing concept and incorporation of Geographic Adaptive Fidelity (GAF) routing protocol that is energy efficient in locating the nodes in the network. This helps best use of it to have a better fidelity from our simulation results
