Video Testing at the FirstNet Innovation and Test Lab Using a Public Safety Dataset

Abstract

Video applications are projected as a stressing and significant service of the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network. There is an need to empirically experiment and evaluate services across the actual network, rather than purely theoretical or simulation-based assessments. Our contribution to addressing this need, is being one of the first to demonstrate, using open source technology, how to conduct video experiments at the FirstNet Innovation and Test Lab. We transmitted video from the dataset across public safety and commercial broadband networks and under different network conditions. We demonstrated that data preemption and priority were dependent upon a variety of factors.

“…Budny et al's contribution to meeting this need is the first to use open source technology to demonstrate how to conduct video experiments in the FirstNet Innovation and Test Lab. They transmit videos from datasets through public safety and commercial broadband networks and under different network conditions [ 8 ]. With the installation of a large number of public safety and traffic infrastructure cameras, video analysis has become an important part of public safety [ 9 , 10 ].…”
