Abstract

Emergency networks, especially networks of disaster recovery, have been the focus of active research in many countries. That is due to the broad impact of disasters´ frequent occurrences, and casualties. The Hybrid Network Emergency Communication (HNEC) protocol is proposed [9] which establishes a heterogeneous network disaster recovery (NDR) that includes non-IP systems to achieve emergency requirements and network cooperation. This paper evaluates HNEC protocol within different application scenarios by simulation and measuring routing performance in message delivery, end-to-end delay, and routing overhead.
