在灾难情况下，最初的72小时非常关键，但大多数时候，第一反应者无法立即联系受影响的人。这可能是由于在灾难情况下缺乏连接和通信，或者由于网络过载或在偏远地区发生的灾难。受灾者和等待救援者之间的可靠通信至关重要。传统的应急通信方法被证明是有效的，但它们需要至少5个小时才能完全建立，因此救援行动被推迟。如今，无人机被用于调查灾情和计划救援行动。如果无人机可以被重新利用来提供可靠的通信网络，它将有助于实现响应者和受害者之间的通信。本文提出了一种Ubiquity Network（UbiQNet）架构，其中无人机能够形成网状网络，通过使用该架构，受害者可以将他们的情况和位置传达给响应者。基于ESP的片上系统与大疆无人机一起沿着使用，以实现UbiQNet架构。还解释了用于确定相邻第一响应者节点的通信算法。本文还演示了一个移动的应用程序与建议的UbiQNet架构。
In a disaster situation, the first 72 hours are very critical but most of times, the first responders are not able to contact those affected immediately. This can be due to lack of connectivity and communication in a disaster situation or due to network overloads or disasters taking place in a remote inaccessible area. The need for a reliable communication between those affected and those in line to rescue is of paramount importance. Traditional emergency communication methods prove to be efficient but they take at least 5 hours to fully establish, due to which the rescue operation is delayed. Nowadays, drones are used to survey the disaster situation and plan rescue operations. If the drones can be repurposed to provide a reliable communication network, it will help enabling the communication between responders and victims. This paper proposes a Ubiquity Network (UbiQNet) Architecture where drones are capable of forming a mesh network, and by using this the victims can communicate their situation and location to the responders. An ESP based system on chip is used along with a DJI drone to enable UbiQNet architecture. A communication algorithm to determine the neighbouring first responder nodes is also explained. This paper also demonstrates a mobile application to be used with the proposed UbiQNet architecture.
