ABSTRACT

The development of new technology for establishing a connection link in a disaster area or non-functional area (NFA) has increased significantly. However, it is not always possible to reach disaster locations. In this chapter, we have categorized disaster areas as dense and emergency areas. A communication network has been proposed in dense and emergency areas using a temporary base station (T-BS) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A T-BS is placed in the dense area, and a UAV is placed in the emergency area after a disaster. The dense area defines the area where BSs are partially damaged. The area where BSs are fully damaged is called an emergency area. Cellular users (CUs) communicate to T-BS in a dense area, and smart home devices such as Internet of Things (IoT) communicate to IoT gateways (IoT-GWs). In the emergency area, cellular users communicate to the UAV only. An analytical framework has been developed for evaluating the outage probability, the data rate of users, and area spectral efficiency for dense and emergency areas.
