Power Optimization in ad hoc network of smartphones!!

Motivating scenario

We know enormous destruction caused during disasters like earthquake(Haiti) or accidents. However many times, it is due to the reason that the information is not obtained on right time from these sites which causes the death of many people. Smartphones can be really useful device in such situations in sending timely information to first responders and emergency contacts.

Challenges of using smartphones

- Limited battery power. By running various applications and sensors on smartphones can drain down their battery in few hours.
