摘要

Rescuers have to build Disaster Area Wireless Networks (DAWNs) for communication in earthquake disaster scene as the communication infrastructure may be completely destroyed by the earthquake. This paper uses MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) as the network architecture of DAWNs in order to adapt with the mobility of rescuers. According to the seriousness in different disaster areas, we propose the catastrophic intensity-based rescue mobility model (CIBRMM), which includes Opening Lifeline Stage (OLS) and Spreading Rescue Stage (SRS). In addition, we present rescue time calculating formulas in corresponding to the two stages as well as the trends of catastrophic intensity in different disaster relief areas. Simulation results show that under the CIBRMM, the most affected areas by earthquake can be reached as soon as possible, thus greatly reducing the loss of life and property, shortening rescue time and improving the efficiency of the rescue.
