Maintaining reliable communication in disaster areas is a physical impossibility with common mobile radio standards due to the destroyed communication infrastructure. Alternatively Lossy-Link-Based Networks (LLBNs) can be established by wireless, meshed mobile devices which transmit correlated messages via multi-links and thus, guarantee reliable communication. In information theory this is also known as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Problem. However, mobile devices operate at low transmission power levels. This challenges coding/encoding techniques to jointly interpret correlated messages and reach error-free performance in the presence of high noise.
