Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to protect resident’s safety and property in case of large scale disasters, we develop Never Die Network (NDN) as one of disaster information communication networks. The NDN consists of small and light weight power supply unit and cognitive wireless network routers which can connect together with various different wireless LANs, mobile network and satellite network based on Software Defined Network (NDN). Using the cognitive wireless router, the fixed, mobile and air cognitive wireless typed nodes are connected to organize a NDN as a wide area resilient network. NDN can be not only used in normal time, but also work in disaster time by observing the system failure and disconnection, selecting the best link and route among the cognitive network and dynamically reconstructing autonomous disaster communication network. We developed a prototype system of NDN and evaluate the functions and performance to verify the effectiveness as a large scale disaster communication network.
