Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for sharing public safety network resources between public safety devices and commercial devices. A request for network resources is received from a commercial device for an application running on the commercial device. It is determined that the request is for a first type of traffic that is tolerant to time delays caused by resource fluctuations. Resources are allocated from a public safety network instead of resources from a commercial network, so that the commercial device can use resources from the public safety network.
Claims18
A computerized method for sharing public safety network resources between public safety devices and commercial devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device in a commercial network, a request for network resources from a commercial device for an application running on the commercial device;
- determining, by the computing device, that the request is for a first type of traffic that is tolerant to time delays caused by resource fluctuations;
- and
- in response to the determination, allocating, by the computing device, resources from a public safety network instead of resources from a commercial network, so that the commercial device can use resources from the public safety network.
A computerized system for sharing public safety network resources between public safety devices and commercial devices, comprising:
- a processor configured to run a module stored in memory that is configured to cause the processor to:
- receive a request for network resources from a commercial device for an application running on the commercial device;
- determine that the request is for a first type of traffic that is tolerant to time delays caused by resource fluctuations;
- and
- in response to the determination, allocate resources from a public safety network instead of resources from a commercial network, so that the commercial device can use resources from the public safety network.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions operable to cause an apparatus to:
- receive a request for network resources from a commercial device for an application running on the commercial device;
- determine that the request is for a first type of traffic that is tolerant to time delays caused by resource fluctuations;
- and
- in response to the determination, allocate resources from a public safety network instead of resources from a commercial network, so that the commercial device can use resources from the public safety network.
