通信基础设施有一些需要在紧急情况下考虑的具体要求。几个例子是可靠性、健壮性和与其他现有技术协同工作的能力，即此类实现的互操作性和兼容性。在不同的灾难情况下，不同的急救组织之间出现了几个通信故障的例子。例如，在9/11世贸中心，消防员没有听到警方的一些警告，导致多人丧生[5]。为了解决这一问题，我们提出了一种混合无线网状网(HWMN)作为高度可靠的通信基础设施的候选方案，该基础设施能够在具有不同可用的互联网连接回程技术的异类环境中工作。此外，蜂窝技术作为一种预先存在的基础设施，可以在紧急情况下提供服务时利用。我们正在使用蜂窝模拟器来研究将蜂窝系统与其他系统相结合的可能性，以便在紧急情况下更有效地疏散人员，并提出替代路线以避免交通拥堵。
Communication infrastructure has some specific requirements that need to be considered within the context of emergency response scenarios. A few examples are the reliability, robustness, and the ability to work with other existing technologies, namely the interoperability and compatibility of such implementations. There have been several examples of communication failures between different first responder organizations in different disaster scenarios. For example at the World Trade Center on 9/11 some of the police warnings were not heard by firefighters resulting in several lives lost [5]. To address this problem, we propose a Hybrid Wireless Mesh Network (HWMN) as a candidate for highly reliable communication infrastructure capable of working in a heterogeneous environment with different available backhaul technologies for Internet connectivity. Also, cellular technology, as a pre-existing infrastructure, can be taken advantage of when the service is available in an emergency situation. We are using cellular simulators to study the possibilities of integrating cellular systems with other systems to evacuate people more efficiently in case of emergency and present alternative routes to avoid traffic congestion.
