METHOD OF CONTROLLING DATA COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A VEHICLE AND HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method of controlling data communication between a vehicle and a plurality of wireless networks includes tracking a location of the vehicle over time to identify a known route, and tracking a signal duration for each of the plurality of wireless networks. One of the plurality of wireless networks that provides the longest signal duration for the vehicle, and which is available for data communication with the vehicle along the identified known route, is identified. When a current route of the vehicle is the same as the known route, data communication from the vehicle is connected to the available wireless network identified as providing the longest signal duration for the vehicle when moving along the identified known route.

1. A method of controlling data communication between a vehicle and a plurality of wireless networks, the method comprising:
tracking a location of the vehicle over time to identify a known route; tracking a signal duration for each of the plurality of wireless networks available for data communication with the vehicle when moving along the identified known route; identifying which one of the plurality of wireless networks available for data communication with the vehicle along the identified known route provides the longest signal duration for the vehicle; and connecting data communication from the vehicle moving along a current route to the available wireless network identified as providing the longest signal duration for the vehicle when moving along the identified known route, when the current route is the same as the known route.
