在本文中，我们研究如何网络智能手机提供通信的灾难恢复。通过弥合不同类型的无线网络之间的差距，我们已经设计和实现了一个系统称为TeamPhone，它提供了智能手机的通信能力，在灾难恢复。具体来说，TeamPhone由两个部分组成：消息传递系统和自救系统。该消息系统无缝集成了蜂窝网络、自组织网络和机会网络，并使救援人员之间能够进行通信。自救系统能有效地将被困幸存者的智能手机分组，并发出紧急信息，以协助救援行动。我们已经在Android平台上实现了TeamPhone作为原型应用程序，并将其部署在现成的智能手机上。实验结果表明，TeamPhone能够很好地满足通信需求，极大地方便了灾难恢复中的救援行动。
In this paper, we investigate how to network smart-phones for providing communications in disaster recovery. By bridging the gaps among different kinds of wireless networks, we have designed and implemented a system called TeamPhone, which provides smartphones the capabilities of communications in disaster recovery. Specifically, TeamPhone consists of two components: a messaging system and a self-rescue system. The messaging system integrates cellular networking, ad-hoc networking and opportunistic networking seamlessly, and enables communications among rescue workers. The self-rescue system energy-efficiently groups the smartphones of trapped survivor and sends out emergency messages so as to assist rescue operations. We have implemented TeamPhone as a prototype application on the Android platform and deployed it on off-the-shelf smartphones. Experiment results show that TeamPhone can properly fulfill communication requirements and greatly facilitate rescue operations in disaster recovery.
