1. A system for communicating in a network having one or more network zones, the system comprising:
- a remote device configured to monitor for faults in the one or more network zones; and
one or more mobile devices disposed in a network zone, each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices comprising;
an interface configured to communicate with a vehicle network associated with a vehicle;
at least one processor; and
at least one storage having encoded thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method comprising;
determining, via the interface, an ignition status indication for an ignition of the vehicle associated with the mobile device;
determining a device expected communication rate for the mobile device, wherein determining the device expected communication rate comprises;
determining whether the mobile device is in an active state or an inactive state, wherein determining whether the mobile device is in the active state or the inactive state comprises;
determining that the mobile device is in the active state when the ignition status indication indicates the ignition is on, anddetermining that the mobile device is in the inactive state when the ignition status indication indicates the ignition is off;
in response to determining that the mobile device is in the active state based on the ignition status indication indicating the ignition is on, setting the device expected communication rate for the mobile device to a first rate; and
in response to determining that the mobile device is in the inactive state based on the ignition status indication indicating the ignition is off;
determining whether more than a threshold period of time has elapsed during which the ignition status indication indicates that the ignition is off;
in response to determining that less than the threshold period of time has elapsed, determining that the mobile device is in a first power saving mode and setting the device expected communication rate for the mobile device to a second rate lower than the first rate; and
in response to determining that at least the threshold period of time has elapsed, determining that the mobile device is in a second power saving mode and setting the device expected communication rate for the mobile device to a third rate lower than the second rate; and
communicating the ignition status indication and the device expected communication rate for the mobile device to said remote device,wherein the remote device is configured to;
determine an expected communication rate for the network zone based on the device expected communication rate determined for each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices, anddetermine whether the network zone is experiencing a communication fault based at least in part on the device expected communication rate for the network zone.
