Abstract

In this work we propose a Disaster Management System on 5G ultra Reliable Low Latency Networks that targets unprecedented reliability levels as well as low latency. In fact, referring to the 5G vision a Structural Health Monitoring system can be considered depending on the operational scenario: in the case of data collection and processing from sensors in monitored buildings, considering the high number of sensors installed, it can refer to the massive Machine Type Communications context. Vice versa, during a seismic event or just after it, the use case requires high reliability connectivity and, sometimes, low latency. Those features refer to the ultra Reliable Low Latency context. It seems interesting to evaluate and experiment the ability of 5G network to dynamically adapt to the changing scenario that this use case can provide. Moreover this work presents an innovative 5G architecture for Earthquake Early Warning that uses Structural Health Monitoring systems to detect a seismic event and to propagate a message reporting the event detection to all the buildings that may be damaged by the event.
