We end in December with a presentation from a team of researchers from Columbia University’s Department of Computer Science and John Jay College’s Christian Regenhard Center. Their multi-year project tested the impact of impairments on voice radio communication channels with an emphasis on first responders. The study used a series of simulated scenarios using one-way listening experiments through use of simulations and two-way virtual scenarios. The work is funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Public Safety Communications Research program.
