Abstract: A vehicle includes a telematics control unit; and one or more processors in communication with the telematics control unit via an in-vehicle network, programmed to generate a data packet for an application, containing a quality-of-service identifier indicative of priority and a type-of-service identifier indicative of sub-priority below the priority for the application; designate an access point name to the data packet based on the quality-of-service identifier; and communicate the data packet to the telematics control unit to communicate to a wireless network.

Abstract: A vehicle that includes one or more controllers coupled to at least one and/or one or more wireless transceivers and antennas. The controllers are configured to enable enhanced, automated provisioning of network hardware of the vehicle with the settings and parameters of required wireless network credentials, by requesting, retrieving, receiving, and utilizing such credentials received from a mobile device. The mobile device includes one or more sets of credentials that are compatible for use with the network hardware configuration or configurations of the controllers, and communications, and network hardware of vehicle. The controller(s) are further configured to store such credentials locally in the vehicle, to request updates, to detect and identify wireless networks identified by such credentials when the wireless networks are in-range of the vehicle network hardware, and to automatically provision and connect the network hardware of vehicle to the detected and identified wireless networks.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive a data transfer request including a priority designation. The processor is also configured to determine whether a wireless connection, having a predefined characteristic associated with the priority designation, is available. The processor is further configured to handle the request using the connection, if available and queue the request for later handling if the connection is not available.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to, responsive to a request for data modification, present available data options. The processor is also configured to, responsive to selection of a data option, present a consideration modification. Further, responsive to a user data option election, the processor is configured to present an amended agreement reflecting the consideration modification. The processor is additionally configured to, responsive to user agreement to the amended agreement, create a revised document and create a time ordered, sequentially linked record of the request, selection, election, respective responsive presentations, agreement and creation.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a telematics control unit (TCU) coupled to a plurality of vehicle controllers. The TCU is configured to periodically record in a log wireless activity data relating to an authentication, attachment, signaling, detachment, and handover procedure of the TCU to provide one or more remote vehicle services. The TCU is further configured to, responsive to detecting a cellular malfunction from the logged data, wirelessly transmit at least a portion of the log that corresponds to the cellular malfunction offboard the vehicle for a remote server configured to diagnose operation of the TCU.

Abstract: A system includes a computer including a processor. The processor is programmed to receive data mapping one or more predicted signal metrics for each of one or more types of wireless communications within a geographic area. Based on optimization targets, the processor is programmed to select, for a vehicle travelling along a planned path within the geographic area, a respective type of communications to be used respectively for each area along the planned path. The processor is further programmed to activate the selected type of communications when the vehicle is within the respective area.
