Abstract
The paper elaborates on a routing protocol that efficiently coordinates data flows among public safety secondary systems considering the unpredictable availability of TVWS spectrum resources. The proposed application scenario exploits for the communication of the nodes both Ad-hoc and mesh network architectures. Ad-hoc network connections are ideally for emergency situations, when the spectrum resources are pour, while the mesh network architecture addresses the emerging market requirements for building wireless networks that are highly scalable and cost effective, offering a solution for the easy deployment of high-speed ubiquitous wireless access. Efficient protocol operation as a matter of maximum-possible routing paths establishments and minimum delays is obtained by a coordination mechanism. The validity of the research approach is verified via a number of experimental tests, conducted under controlled simulation conditions, evaluating the performance of the proposed routing protocol.
