摘要： Systems and methods are provided for use of adaptive and dynamic Wi-Fi® scanning policies in a network of moving things. A vehicle-based network node may be configured to obtain, during operations in an area of a network of moving things, context-related data associated with the vehicle, and to manage Wi-Fi® scanning based on the context-related data. The managing may include determining based on the context-related data, when to scan for Wi-Fi® access points, and when scanning, selecting based on the context-related data, at least one Wi-Fi® scan policy, and configuring Wi-Fi® scanning based on the at least one Wi-Fi® scan policy. A cloud-based network node may be configured to receive from network nodes in the vehicle communication network Wi-Fi® connectivity-related data, and to generate or update, based on processing of the Wi-Fi® connectivity-related data, at least one Wi-Fi® scanning decision model for optimizing Wi-Fi® scanning operations in mobile network nodes.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided for dynamic management of transmit power in a network of moving things. In a first node of a wireless network that includes a plurality of nodes, receiving a packet for transmission to a second node of the plurality of nodes, determining a RF transmit power level for use in transmitting the packet, and wirelessly transmitting the received packet to the second node using the RF transmit power level. The RF transmit power level may be determined is based on one or both of: at least one adjustable RF transmit power level corresponding to the second node that is maintained at the first node; and RF transmit power level information obtained from one or more other nodes of the plurality of nodes.
