Towards an adaptive QoS-oriented and secure framework for wireless sensor networks in emergency situations

In an emergency situation, the information availability, reliability, security and delay of its delivery are critical to the success of rescue operations. The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) in this type of applications allows having an almost real situation about the supervised area by collecting relevant information. This paper proposes a new Framework Ad-M-QoS-DS (Adaptive Management of QoS in different situations) that permits an adaptive management according to the QoS requirements of each situation in the supervised area by grouping multiple parameters. The proposed Framework Ad-MQoS-DS includes security architecture based on the base station.
