Abstract

Cellular Networks are vulnerable to service disruptions due to disasters (natural or man-made), cyber-attacks and technical failures. Several research efforts, based on post-disaster contingency management, have been proposed. This research talk aims at designing a Model based engineering approach using OPM (Object Process Methodology),for a resilient communication framework for cellular networks, that is capable of providing uninterrupted communication services under any emerging situation. In this ongoing research work, an OPM-based framework is designed to provide a structured way of representing different objects and associated processes at a higher level of abstraction thereby providing a bird eye’s view for telecommunications service providers to facilitate uninterrupted communication services in affected areas. The proposed framework will eventually facilitate a structured way (based upon conceptual modelling) of developing a mutual consensus amongst collaborators (cellular operators) in sharing the load of the affected node (mobile tower) for a diverse set of cellular networks.
