Abstract:
A system and method of providing a plurality of services through a plurality of vehicle-generated Wi-Fi channels includes: generating at a first Wi-Fi module a first Wi-Fi channel that includes a master list of services provided by the first Wi-Fi module as well as one or more other Wi-Fi modules; receiving a request for a service included on the master list at the first Wi-Fi module from a wireless device communicating; determining that the service is not available through the first Wi-Fi module; identifying a second Wi-Fi module that provides the service; and transmitting a message to the wireless device identifying the second Wi-Fi module that provides the service identified in the request.
