An essential aspect of our testing was to show how video data can be reliably offloaded from a bus to a depot over a private 5G network. The UIG is in a fixed location in our lab instead of on a mobile vehicle.
In a mobile scenario, the bus could only connect to a private 5G network while at the depot. Therefore, when the bus is away from the depot on a route, it must store the video data in a local cache. When the bus comes back within the radio range of the 5G environment, it should automatically offload video from the local storage on the bus to storage inside the depot. The depot storage that we configured was an NFS share.
Since our device is in a fixed location, we need to manually set the bus device status to switch from disconnected mode to simulate the time out of the depot to connected mode to test video offload. To accomplish this, we turn off the backup for 4 hours and then enable it to assess how 4 hours of data will be offloaded over 5G. An example of the bus backup configuration is below. The red arrow below shows the backup feature that moves the video to the depot is enabled.
