Post-disaster communication involves providing communication service for public users and emergency responders. The responding personnel and rescue activities demand delivery guarantees, bandwidth reservation, delay constraints, or other forms of QoS support, while public communication places less stringent demands on resources. Thus, the network needs to differentiate between these two types of services. Moreover, the level of QoS must be carefully decided such that the network can

The responding personnel and rescue activities demand delivery guarantees, bandwidth reservation, delay constraints, or other forms of QoS support, while public communication places less stringent demands on resources. Thus, the network needs to differentiate between these two types of services.
