Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to managing wireless connections within a spatially-dense setting like a passenger vehicle, thereby improving quality and reliability of individual wireless connections. An example method includes detecting a connection request from a passenger device requesting a wireless connection with a seatback device in a first in-vehicle location. The method includes defining a density zone that includes other in-vehicle locations surrounding the first in-vehicle location. The density zone localizes an area within which other wireless connections may be disruptive to the wireless connection. The method includes determining, via a token server that stores connection tokens that each describe an existing connection, a number of particular tokens that describe existing connections located within the density zone.
