NETWORK SELECTOR IN A VEHICLE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle, comprising:
- in a vehicle in communication with plural communication networks, a microprocessor executable network selector operable (a) to select, from among the plural communication networks, a network for signal transmission of a selected signal to an on board destination based on one or more of a status of the selected network, a status of a node in the selected network, a signal/noise ratio of the selected network, type, urgency, importance, format, and/or requirement of signal to be transmitted, an available and/or unavailable bandwidth in the selected network and/or node of the selected network, a current performance parameter(s) of the selected network, and a quality of service of the selected network and (b) configure the selected signal for transmission over the selected network to the on board destination.
