Abstract

We consider the problem of mobile base station placement to meet the critical communication requirements of first responders in an ad hoc public safety network. By considering the class of first responders and UE applications, we provide an efficient base station placement algorithm to maximize critical communication needs according to priority levels. We present simulation results that compare two proposed algorithms with each other and with a baseline algorithm. Our results show that the algorithm of weighted priority and GBR significantly improves connectivity and coverage parameters compared to others.
