Abstract
A method and system for calculating network activity patterns in a region prior to a disaster, and forming ad-hoc networks based on these patterns. The system and method are configured to perform aerial surveys of different areas prior to an outage. After an outage occurs, the system can automatically generate a deployment configuration for a set of drones that will create an ad-hoc network. The ad-hoc network can be formed as either a mesh network where there are sufficient drones available, or a messenger network, where there are an insufficient number of drones available to form the mesh network.
