Information collection in the disaster area is an important application of pigeon networks a special type of delay tolerant networks DTNs that borrows the ancient idea of using pigeons as the telecommunication method. The aim of this paper is to explore highly efficient scheduling strategies of pigeons for such applications. The upper bound of traffic that can be supported under the deadline constraints for the basic on-demand strategy is given through the analysis. Based on the analysis a waitingbased packing strategy is introduced. Although the latter strategy could not change the maximum traffic rate that a pigeon can support it improves the efficiency of a pigeon largely. The analytical results are verified by the simulations. 1. Introduction After disasters . earthquakes fires tornadoes happen it is urgent to rescue people and protect property. To ensure the rescuing work timely and correctly executed accurate live information . in the format of videos is needed by the commanding headquarter. As the instant communications of large amount of message is usually unrealistic especially after the disasters which probably destroy the communication infrastructure a feasible solution is to send special .
