  • Publication number: 20240039648
    Abstract: A server includes a communication device and a controller. The communication device receives information about whether a destination is set from a vehicle. The controller sets a radio signal recommendation scheme based on whether the destination is set, determines whether a recommended radio signal recommended in a set recommendation scheme is applicable, and transmits a radio signal recommendation list generated based on a determination result. A vehicle receives the radio signal recommendation list from the server when a strength of the received radio signal is less than a specified value, compares a strength of at least one radio signal included in the radio signal recommendation list with the strength of the received radio signal, and determines whether to receive the recommended radio signal based on the comparison result.
