  This paper aims to propose a system for automatically forming ad hoc networks
using mobile phones and battery-powered wireless routers for emergency
situations. The system also provides functions to send emergency messages and
identify the location of victims based on the network topology information.
  Optimized link state routing protocol is used to instantly form an ad hoc
emergency network based on WiFi signals from mobile phones of the victims,
backup battery-powered wireless routers preinstalled in buildings and mobile
devices deployed by search and rescue teams. The proposed system is also
designed to recover from partial crash of network and nodes lost.
  Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in
terms of battery life, transmission distance and noises.
  A novel message routing schedule is proposed for conserving battery life. A
novel function to estimate the location of a mobile device which sent an
emergency message is proposed in this paper.
