Personal mobile devices, or PMDs, have the main objective of supporting connectivity in infrastructured network. However, they are rarely researched to support connectivity in infrastructure-less network environment, particularly in case of no network or when existing network is damaged. This research direction has significant benefit towards emergency management, where PMDs in affected areas can be configured to establish inexpensive infrastructure-less network for victims' information gathering. Existing PMD configurations techniques either lack flexibility and hinder device reachability or are slow and consume significant energy. These factors have motivated towards the two-fold contribution proposed in this paper—(1) a novel over-the-air mobile device management approach of PMDs to establish multi-hop infrastructure-less network and (2) additional over-the-air sensing configuration of PMDs to record and transmit incapacitated victims' surrounding conditions using proposed network. These contributions allow multiple PMDs to establish network with minimal time and energy overheads, leading to efficient emergency management. Simulation and testbed results validate proposed approaches.

用于应急评估的无基础设施环境中的节能远程移动设备管理

个人移动设备或 PMD 的主要目标是支持基础设施网络中的连接。然而，很少有人研究它们在无基础设施的网络环境中支持连接，特别是在没有网络或现有网络损坏的情况下。该研究方向对应急管理具有重要意义，其中受影响地区的 PMD 可以配置为建立廉价的无基础设施网络，用于受害者信息收集。现有的 PMD 配置技术要么缺乏灵活性并阻碍设备可达性，要么速度慢且消耗大量能量。这些因素促使本文提出了双重贡献——(1) 一种新型的 PMD 无线移动设备管理方法，用于建立无多跳基础设施的网络；(2) 额外的无线PMD 的传感配置，以使用提议的网络记录和传输无行为能力的受害者的周围条件。这些贡献允许多个 PMD 以最少的时间和能源开销建立网络，从而实现高效的应急管理。仿真和测试台结果验证了所提出的方法。
