System and method for providing a stable and tamper proof communication between a vehicle, a vehicle related unit, and a remote system
First Claim
1. Method for providing a stable and tamper proof communication between a vehicle and a corresponding vehicle'"'"'s remote system and/or for providing a stable and tamper proof communication between at least one vehicle related unit and a corresponding vehicle related unit'"'"'s remote system,wherein the vehicle comprises at least one vehicle located communication node and the vehicle'"'"'s remote system comprises at least one vehicle'"'"'s remote system communication node for connecting the vehicle and the vehicle'"'"'s remote system via a vertical communication connection, andwherein the at least one vehicle related unit comprises at least one vehicle associable communication node and the remote system corresponding to the vehicle related unit comprises at least one remote system communication node for connecting the at least one vehicle related unit and the remote system of the vehicle related unit via another vertical communication connection,the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing an on-board connectivity layer comprising the at least one vehicle located communication node and the at least one vehicle associable communication node,the step of establishing the on-board connectivity layer comprising;
i. transmitting by means of an initializing communication node an Invitation Request (IR) for forming the onboard connectivity layer to all communication nodes;
ii. re-transmitting a Response Message (RM) comprising information on an acceptance of the Invitation Request (IR) to the initializing communication node; and
iii. transmitting an On-board Connectivity Layer Established Message (OnCLEM) from all on-board connectivity layer communication nodes to their remote system communication nodes;
providing horizontal communication connections between the communication nodes of the on-board connectivity layer; and
bypassing a disturbed or interrupted vertical communication connection by using the vertical communication connection of the at least one other communication node of the on-board connectivity layer connected by the horizontal communication connection to the on-board communication node having the disturbed or interrupted vertical default communication connection.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a stable communication between a vehicle'"'"'s on-board connectivity layer include at least one vehicle located communication node and at least one vehicle associatable communication node, and an off-board connectivity layer including at least one remote system located communication node, wherein each communication node communicates with at least one other communication node over a communication connection, and in case the communication connection to the at least one communication node is disturbed or interrupted, a communication connection to another communication node is established.
