Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is used in Emergency Management System (EMS). If emergency situation happens, real-timely transmitting emergency information in dynamically changing environment should be assured. But this requirement could not be satisfied by conventional approaches which are based on static situation and centralized management. In this paper, to satisfy this requirement, autonomous community construction technology is proposed for single emergency. Emergency information could be transmitted in community and protected from interference of other information’s transmission. Moreover, autonomous coordination technology is proposed for multiple emergencies’ information’s transmission. Via this technology, each emergency could have its individual route to transmit emergency information. Each emergency information’s transmission will not influence with each other. Evaluation results are provided to demonstrate the improvement.
