transmitting the data from the vehicle to a remote server in accordance with a normal frequency of events in a normal mode;
setting an abnormal mode in response to an event trigger denoting a fault of at least one component of the vehicle; and
transmitting the data from the vehicle to a remote server in accordance with an abnormal frequency of events in the abnormal mode, wherein the abnormal frequency of events is more frequent than the normal frequency of events, such that the data is transmitted from the vehicle to the remote server more frequently in the abnormal mode than in the normal mode.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for vehicular communications. The systems include a server and a controller in a vehicle. The controller is configured to receive data from vehicular components and transmit the data to the remote server. In a normal mode, the data is transmitted in accordance with a normal frequency of events, while in an abnormal mode, the data is transmitted in accordance with an abnormal frequency of events. The abnormal frequency is different from the normal frequency. The abnormal mode is set in response to an event trigger denoting a fault of at least one component.
