Abstract

Methods and systems are described herein for optimizing how recorded data frames are processed and stored when a recording device (e.g., mounted upon an uncrewed vehicle) is within a non-transmit zone. A determination may be made that a non-transmit zone has been entered, and the current network conditions may be evaluated, including available bandwidth and/or latency for each radio. The data frames may be split into queues associated with the radios on board the vehicle based on the frame size and network conditions. This mechanism may ensure efficient use storage space in preparation for data transmission.
