METHOD FOR ALLOCATING BANDWIDTH IN AN INCIDENT AREA FOR FIRST RESPONDERS

Abstract:

A method and public safety server provide for the allocation of bandwidth in an incident area for first responders. Incident scene information is collected. A number of responder alerts is predicted based at least in part upon the incident scene information. A current loading is calculated at a site covering the incident scene. It is then determined if the site lacks enough bandwidth to provide service to the number of responder alerts. Bandwidth is then allocated at the site to provide service to the number of responder alerts.
