Popis: International audience; In a disaster scenario, both victims and first respon-ders need an access to a communication network for applications with different quality of service requirements (e.g. short delay, high throughput). As LTE compatible devices are very common nowadays, LTE shows a lot of advantages to be used as a disaster management network. However, its already deployed infrastructure may be damaged or unusable following the said disaster. In this scenario, self-deployable networks shine as they are quickly deployable and can cover areas inaccessible to humans. In this paper, we present self-deployable networks and show what the 3GPP LTE standard provides to them. We focus on the legacy best-SINR based mobile association between user equipment and base stations. Then, we show that such association is agnostic of the quality of service requirements and therefore not suitable to support efficiently the dedicated applications used in disaster management. We then propose several points of improvement in this association scheme that take specific disaster management constraints into account.
