Substitution Network
is a rapidly deployable backup wireless solution to quickly react to network topology changes due to failures or to flash crowd effects on the base network. Unlike other ad hoc and mesh solutions, a substitution network does not attempt to provide new services to customers but rather to restore and maintain at least some of the services available before the failure. Furthermore, a substitution network is not deployed directly for customers but to help the base network to provide services to customers. Therefore, a substitution network is not, by definition, a stand-alone network. In this paper, we describe a quality of service architecture for substitution networks and discuss provisioning, maintenance, as well as adaptation of QoS inside and between the base and the substitution networks.
