Abstract

The importance to our society of emergency network communications cannot be underestimated. The loss of communication and network systems in a state of emergency denies victims of disaster and city emergency response teams critical information about the crisis. It is essential to restore communication systems and service in order to ensure continuous and efficient emergency operations. This paper presents a cloud-based cost-effective emergency network management system to provide dynamic network services. We have developed a network application to enable users to access the Internet during an emergency. The application is ready to immediately restore lost connectivity through economical embedded systems and UAVs. We implement our prototypes based on Resin.io, a framework that utilizes Linux containers on IoT(Internet of Things) devices to deploy applications. We evaluate our systems on Raspberry Pi, a popular embedded system. We demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed system, showing that it is an economical infrastructure that it can successfully be used for an emergency network to replace a demolished network infrastructure.
