Telecom Intelligent Connection and Capability Orchestration for Disaster Response and Recovery

The paper addresses the critical issue of communication infrastructure collapse during catastrophic events and introduces Telecom Intelligent Connection and Capability Orchestration for Disaster Response and Recovery (TIC<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup>ODR<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup>). TIC<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup>ODR<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> aims to restore network topology and manage traffic surges post-disaster by leveraging air-space-ground facilities. It coordinates the deployment of resources such as satellites, High Altitude Aerial System (HAAS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), robots, and pre-deployed backup nodes, considering their unique capabilities and limitations. The study presents a detailed model for facility and equipment, traffic bursting post-disaster, and a resource orchestration strategy to maximize the number of served traffic bursts. Numerical evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of TIC<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup>ODR<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> in enhancing network recovery and traffic management using various facility combinations.
