A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11974184B2) discloses a computer-implemented method executed within a vehicle, involving commanding transceivers to measure radio channel performance metrics and idle capacity metrics for base stations, determining candidate base stations for network sockets based on datagram size thresholds, and establishing forward and reverse link network sockets accordingly. The method further includes selecting alternative base stations based on performance thresholds and socket types, ensuring efficient network connectivity within the vehicle.

Additionally, the patent describes a system comprising processors, transceivers, and computer-readable storage media storing instructions for implementing the method. The system commands transceivers to measure radio channel performance metrics, detect datagram size thresholds, and determine candidate base stations for network sockets, ensuring optimal network connectivity. The system also includes provisions for selecting alternative base stations based on performance thresholds and socket types, enhancing the efficiency of network communication within the vehicle. This innovative approach aims to streamline network connectivity processes and improve overall performance in vehicular communication systems.
