Abstract

Emergency networks formed by First Responders, or in fact by the communications equipment they carry, seem to form a very relevant area for the application of the concept of autonomic cooperative network deployments, as introduced in the previous chapter. This holds true especially because of the ad hoc and/or mesh nature of such network set-ups, where one may observe very dynamic topology changes. Consequently, a truly mobile autonomic cooperative relaying might be possible as opposed to the need for deploying a mesh of fixed Relay Nodes. In particular, the emergency system design is discussed from the perspective of enabling the Virtual Antenna Array aided cooperative transmission in such an environment. To this end, the Equivalent Distributed Space-Time Block Encoder is used for general evaluations assuming an external Base Station, provided by the Mobile Emergency Operations Centre, as well as dynamic Radio Access Point selection is applied.
