Given the complexity and seriousness of the disaster response environment, there is an urgent need for a wireless adhoc and sensor network cyberinfrastructure that integrates responders and supporting networks. The cyberinfrastructure must enhance robustness and efficiency of the integrated networks and provide mechanisms to dynamically modify network behavior in response to changing conditions. Similar efforts have made contributions in surveillance, tracking, and healthcare but fail to address the scale, complexity and robustness required by disaster response.Intellectual merit: This project develops a cyberinfrastructure consisting of a set of new protocols, software components and analysis to support disaster response. The cyberinfrastructure is designed for the alternately congested and sparse environments typical of disasters where conventional infrastructure is unavailable. A spectrum-aware, multi-channel MAC protocol improves energy efficiency of compressed sensing applications, by minimizing congestion through intelligent use of multiple channels. On-demand routing provides end-to-end delay guarantees at optimal data rates. Adaptive tuning improves performance and minimizes negative interactions. The architecture provides a robust, energy-efficient framework tailored to disaster response operations.Broader impact: The project will provide the first cyberinfrastructure for emergency response, integrating wireless sensor networks, adhoc networks deployed in a realistic environment. The research results will augment current course offerings at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The project will create a high school-level show-and-tell lecture on wireless adhoc and sensor networks in disaster response to be delivered at a local high school. Finally, the project will integrate the proposed cyberinfrastructure with Texas Task Force 1, the main state agency responsible for coordinating urban search and rescue and one of six teams selected by FEMA to provide response to Chemical, Biological, Radiological/Nuclear, and Explosive incidents.

鉴于灾害响应环境的复杂性和严重性，迫切需要一个无线自组织和传感器网络网络基础设施，将响应者和支持网络集成在一起。网络基础设施必须增强集成网络的鲁棒性和效率，并提供动态修改网络行为以响应不断变化的条件的机制。类似的努力在监测、跟踪和医疗保健方面做出了贡献，但未能解决灾害响应所需的规模、复杂性和鲁棒性。智力优势：该项目开发了一套由新协议、软件组件和分析组成的网络基础设施，以支持灾害响应。网络基础设施的设计是为了应对灾害中常见的拥挤和稀疏的环境，在这种环境中，常规基础设施是不可用的。频谱感知的多信道MAC协议通过智能使用多个信道来最小化拥塞，从而提高压缩感知应用的能量效率。按需路由以最佳数据速率提供端到端延迟保证。自适应调优可提高性能并最大限度地减少负面交互。更广泛的影响：该项目将为应急响应提供第一个网络基础设施，集成无线传感器网络和部署在现实环境中的自组织网络。研究结果将增加目前在研究生和本科生水平的课程设置。该项目将在当地一所高中开设一个关于无线自组织和传感器网络在灾害应对中的展示和讲述讲座。最后，该项目将把拟议的网络基础设施与德克萨斯州第一工作队整合在一起，德克萨斯州第一工作队是负责协调城市搜索和救援的主要国家机构，也是联邦应急管理局选择的六个小组之一，负责对化学、生物、辐射/核和爆炸事件作出反应。
