A Platform for Experimental Research in Mission-Critical Voice Communications

This demonstration shows a testbed designed and developed at Columbia University for human-subject experiments with mission-critical voice (MCV). The testbed includes Raspberry-Pi-based emulated MCV user terminals, a modified version of the “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes” game, software for managing the human subject studies, and an environment for data collection and analysis. At Columbia, the testbed is used to experimentally map quality of service (QoS) parameters to quality of experience (QoE) in human-subject studies involving hundreds of test subjects. In the demonstration, visitors will be able to interact with the actual testbed hardware and software.
