System and method for managing wireless vehicular communications
First Claim
1. A method for managing wireless vehicular communications, comprising:
- detecting a message relating to a vehicle bus at a remote system;
determining whether the message is a command that a protocol converter has the ability to implement;
generating a command for a protocol converter if the message is a command that a protocol converter has the ability to implement;
forming a wireless message containing the command;
transmitting the wireless message over a wireless communication link; and
receiving vehicle bus data over the wireless communication link.

Abstract
A system and method for managing wireless vehicular communications include the ability to detect a message relating to a vehicle bus at a remote system and determine whether the message is a command that a protocol converter has the ability to implement. The system and method also include the ability to generate a command for a protocol converter if the message is a command that a protocol converter has the ability to implement and form a wireless message containing the command. The system and method further include the ability to transmit the wireless message over a wireless communication link and receive vehicle bus data over the wireless communication link.
