Reliable Data delivery for Emergency and Disaster Recovery in Wireless Mesh Network

Disasters around the globe have caused a tremendous loss of lives, severe damage to the property and the environment as well as an incredible shock to the survivors. Robust communication during the emergency rescue operations are of paramount of importance. In this article, we proposed flexible network architecture for Emergency situation using Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). This paper proposes a Report Message Forwarding Algorithm (REPMSGFW), a location based on demand QoS routing algorithm for reliable delivery of data for the first responder in the disaster recovery. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed REPMSGFW algorithm performs better than traditional schemes in terms of average delay, packet delivery ratio and Normalized routing load.
