    Abstract: A vehicle, and methods of operating a mobile hotspot at a vehicle including a plurality of mobile hotspots, are disclosed. The method includes detecting an availability of a first one of the mobile hotspot as an access point. The method also includes delaying an availability of a second one of the mobile hotspots as an access point by a period of time after the detection of the availability of the first one of the mobile hotspots. The vehicle may include a plurality of mobile hotspots, each configured to provide wireless connectivity for one or more non-vehicle wireless devices located in the vehicle or within a proximity of the vehicle. In accordance with the method, one of the mobile hotspots may be configured to delay its availability as an access point by a period of time after an availability of at least another one of the mobile hotspots is detected.

    Abstract: A communication system that includes a vehicle and a mobile device, and a method of indicating to a mobile device an availability to hand-over a first short-range wireless communication (SRWC) link for a second SRWC link, which is carried out using the communication system. The method includes the steps of: establishing the first SRWC link between the mobile device and a first wireless hotspot device; providing wireless hotspot data to the mobile device using the first SRWC link; discovering a second wireless hotspot device using the first wireless hotspot device; determining whether credentials of the second wireless hotspot device are known to the first wireless hotspot device or the mobile device; and when the credentials are known, providing an indication to the mobile device of the availability of the second SRWC link via the first SRWC link.
