1. A method comprising:
- periodically determining, by a network device, one or more temperature thresholds and configuration settings to apply to one or more wireless equipment coupled to a vehicle, according to a determination by the network device of an installation position of the one or more wireless equipment on or within the vehicle; and
causing the one or more wireless equipment to implement a change in operation in the one or more wireless equipment in response to a first criteria indicated by a thermal management scheme message, the causing comprising sending, by the network device, the one or more determined temperature thresholds and configuration settings to the one or more wireless equipment in the thermal management scheme message, the thermal management scheme message indicating the first criteria as a trigger for the one or more wireless equipment to implement the change in operation to control heat generation.

Abstract
Apparatus, a method and a computer program product periodically determine one or more temperature thresholds and configuration settings attributable to one or more user equipment coupled to a vehicle. The one or more determined temperature thresholds and configuration settings are sent to the one or more user equipment in a thermal management scheme message. The one or more user equipment are adapted to adjust an operational threshold in response to the received thermal management scheme message.
