ABSTRACT
After any natural disaster the availability of existing conventional communication infrastructure almost gets ruled out. After the devastation, to restore the communication system in ad hoc basis; ensuring almost 100% packet delivery within acceptable latency with optimal utilization of resources are prime design motives. Our work proposes a four tier planned hybrid architecture, which conforms the aforesaid motives yielding a desired performance in terms of delivery probability within least latency, for a given disaster hit area map with a suitable heuristic algorithm. Our study also reveals that there exists no deterministic polynomial time solution that can implement the desired design motives as well as the feasibility of our planned methodology. Compared to any brute force strategy, as per the simulation results, our approach shows 42% higher delivery probability and 49% lower latency.
