Ensuring connectivity in crises is a critical issue as it allows fast and efficient reaction. For instance, in the caseof fire or natural disaster, communication among first responders (firefighters, police, etc.) and with the controlunit is of tremendous importance to coordinate the required actions. But, in such situations, traditionalcommunication means are not reliable for two main reasons: (1) there is high probability that the disasterdamages the network infrastructure, and (2) in these situations, there is often unusual increase of demand bynormal people for network resources to take information which causes net degradation of the quality of service.Thus, an alternative efficient protocol is required to ensure connectivity for first responders.In this work, we aim to take advantage of recent advances in communication to develop a protocol foremergency communication in crises situations employing multihop communication using device-to-device(D2D) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) aided connections.

确保危机中的连通性是一个关键问题，因为它允许快速和有效的反应。例如，在火灾或自然灾害的情况下，第一响应者（消防员，警察等）之间的通信并且与控制单元的连接对于协调所需的动作是非常重要的。但是，在这种情况下，传统的通信手段是不可靠的，主要有两个原因：（1）灾难破坏网络基础设施的可能性很高，以及（2）在这些情况下，正常人对网络资源的需求通常会异常增加，以获取导致服务质量净下降的信息。需要另一种有效的协议来确保第一响应者的连通性。在这项工作中，我们的目标是利用通信领域的最新进展，开发一种在危机情况下使用设备到设备（D2D）多跳通信的应急通信协议和无人驾驶飞行器（UAV）辅助连接。
