AI-Enhanced Disaster Response Networks: A Framework for Resilient Communications

Abstract

Disaster response networks face substantial challenges in maintaining communication services during emergencies, when reliable connectivity becomes most critical. This comprehensive framework integrates artificial intelligence capabilities with segment routing and virtualized control planes to create resilient communication systems that adapt autonomously to rapidly changing disaster environments. The innovative architecture combines an AI-driven decision engine, segment routing infrastructure, and virtualized control plane management to enable unprecedented levels of network resilience. When compared to conventional emergency communication methods, field deployments show notable gains in service availability, recovery time, and operational efficiency. The system balances conflicting operational requirements, optimizes routing choices, and foresees network breakdowns using advanced deep reinforcement learning algorithms and predictive analytics. Through innovative technical solutions, the framework tackles major implementation issues such as network heterogeneity, power management limitations, scalability needs, and security concerns. The way emergency operations retain vital connectivity during catastrophic events when traditional infrastructure fails could be completely transformed by this integrated strategy, which offers a revolutionary development in disaster response communications.
