  • Patent number: 11910352
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for supporting mobility of users with seamless connectivity in a network of moving things. A controller may be used to manage mobility of a plurality of end-user devices in a network of moving things. A request to establish a wireless connection with a network of moving things may be received from an end-user device, via a first access point of the network. A communication parameter for the end-user device may be determined, with the communication parameter configured for use in enabling wireless communication via the network. The determining includes assigning the communication parameter to the end-user device if the end-user device is not known to the controller, and retrieving the communication parameter if the end-user device is known to the controller. The communication parameter is then sent to the end-user device that transmitted the request.

  • Patent number: 11381380
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using tunnels to provide communication channels between nodes in a network, where the tunnels may be, for example, multi-purpose UDP tunnels. Different nodes may be in different networks where at least one network may comprise a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things) that may include, for example, autonomous vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11160016
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing mobility of users in a network of moving things. At an access point of a plurality of access points in the network of moving things, a wireless connection may be established using a radio frequency (RF) interface of the first access point, configured for communication of first end-user data by a first end-user device. Quality of communication with the first end-user device may then be assessed, based on at least one quality related parameter, and when the quality of communication fails to meet a particular quality criterion based on the at least one quality related parameter, quality of communication of the end-user device with each of one or more other access points may be evaluated, a particular other access point may be selected, and a request to handle communication of the first end-user data may be transmitted to the selected access point.
