Managing Wireless Communications for Emergency Situations in Urban Environments through Cyber-Physical Systems and 5G Technologies

Toward Energy-Efficient 5G Wireless Communications Technologies

The densification and expansion of wireless networks pose new challenges on energy efficiency. With a drastic increase of infrastructure nodes (e.g. ultra-dense deployment of small cells), the total energy consumption may easily exceed an acceptable level. While most studies focus on the energy radiated by the antennas, the bigger part of the total energy budget is actually consumed by the hard...

Designing Test Environments for Cyber-Physical Systems

The transformation of industrial assets into networked entities promises to increase the productivity of manufacturing processes significantly. It is a prerequisite for the close integration of these assets into production environments that increasingly rely on computerized planning, execution, and monitoring systems. The result of combining a (mechanical) asset with extensive computational cap...

A Physical Rehabilitation Model for Disabled, Elderly and Injured in Emergency Situations (earthquake)

Objective and Backgrounds: Children, elderly and people with disabilities are mainly affected by damages in any accident or natural disasters. The people with disabilities are neglected in every phase of crisis management evidently. This negligence is more significant in emergencies, specially the need for rehabilitation of these people during 72 hours after earthquake. Method: In this paper, ...

Communications in Emergency and Crisis Situations

In emergency and crisis situations (ECS) like earthquakes, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, it is very important that communication facilities are operative to provide services both to rescue teams and civilians. In ECS it is very common that communication premises are often unable to provide services, either due to physical damages or traffic overload. In such a case there is the need for rapid re...
