Abstract
In this paper, we propose an ad-hoc unicursal protocol for communication systems in disaster situations. This protocol is designed for gathering information of rescuees effectively in a big earthquake. Since the longevity of networks is one of the most important aspects for such situations, terminals are connected to each other in linear form in our protocol, which makes the communication loads among terminals relatively equal in comparison with other structured networks. Experimental results show that our protocol needs less packets for generating an information sharing network and enlarging the shared information.
