Abstract
Telecommunication is the exchange of information and data
over significant distance by electronic means. During
extreme events such as natural disasters and urgent events it becomes more and more important to preserve the communication devices and infrastructure to exchange information between rescue teams and persons in damaged zone based on their area. When extreme event happens, many communication scenarios can be considered. We focus on a the case of destruction of traditional communication networks during an emergency event such as natural disasters in which it is important to find an
alternative network architecture to prevent the death and
injury of thousands of people. The rescue teams are unable
to locate and communicate with victims on right time. This
work presents network architectural design model to extend
the range of WIFI networks and help people access to
Internet or get rescue when the damage affects the most
existing telecommunication networks. This model is validated by analyzing two communication scenarios
