Critical Communication Simulation in Natural Disaster Situations

Abstract: After natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, hurricane; because of damage to telephone and internet networks and instantaneous traffic density created by subscribers, voice and data networks lose their functions to a large extent. Service providers make many practices to prevent service interruptions in communication networks and not to disrupt the operation of the protocols used during and after a natural disaster. Since natural disasters are non-repeatable and unpredictable, these measures cannot be carried out with comprehensive assessments. In this context, simulation software is the best approach for testing communication networks in case of natural disasters. In this study, the issue of analyzing the outages that may occur in the infrastructure of Telecom service providers after natural disasters with network simulations is mentioned.
