PSTN Connected with Wireless Multi Hop Radio Relay - A Solution for Disaster Aftermath Communication

Natural disasters are becoming more common across the world and they can be utterly devastating to people’s lives and the environments. Our aim is to provide voice communication services to the emergency responders and civilians when pre-existing communication infrastructures have been destroyed. In this paper, we propose a new communication network architecture to connect victims of disaster area with emergency responders. This communication network should play a vital role right after any natural disaster during the recovery stage.
