Resumen

This paper presents an architecture to support reconfigurable multimedia services for a practical emergency environment of rescue operations. This solution is validated by implementing a digital mobile radio (DMR) standard radio hotspot and a video streaming server in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that conveys a device with scarce resources in order to minimize power consumption. To achieve a fast and flexible deployment of the envisioned services, a virtualization-based approach using a Kubernetes orchestrator is used, which manages the life-cycle of services. Results show that the proposed architecture can be deployed in less than 4 minutes and can recover from network disconnections in less than 10 seconds.
