Global Emergency System Based on WPAN and LPWAN Hybrid Networks

Area of Science:

• Engineering
• Computer Science
• Telecommunications

Background:

• Current emergency systems rely on private companies, necessitating independent infrastructure per building.
• This leads to increased costs, human vigilance, and response times for alarm transmission.
• Existing systems lack a unified, cost-effective, and energy-efficient global communication architecture.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a novel hybrid communication network architecture for emergency systems.
• To develop a global system for fire detection and other critical events.
• To achieve low energy consumption, wide communication range, and reduced service costs.

Main Methods:

• Integration of Wireless Personal Access Network (WPAN) and Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies.
• Development of a hybrid network architecture for robust emergency communication.
• Focus on a communication system designed for scalability and broad coverage.

Main Results:

• The proposed hybrid network significantly reduces total energy consumption compared to traditional systems.
• Achieves a wide communication range, extending up to 50 km.
• Offers a low-cost infrastructure and service model for emergency alert systems.

Conclusions:

• The hybrid WPAN-LPWAN network provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for global emergency systems.
• This architecture is suitable for fire detection and adaptable to various critical event monitoring.
• The system enhances emergency response capabilities while minimizing operational expenses and energy demands.
