- Mobile communication networks can be severely damaged during natural disasters and thus further disrupt public safety services. This paper proposes a robust framework that includes alternative ways of communicating using device-to-device (D2D) approaches combined with power transfer for energy efficiency and clustering at the relay end of the communication network to improve coverage. Compared with similar research in the literature, the presented simulation results in the paper show a significant improvement in terms of coverage using cluster formation and significant energy savings for both mobile user and the cluster heads to survive in emergency situations following natural disasters, saving lives.
