Abstract
A system and method to control communication in a vehicle include receiving an input. A controller determines whether to transmit a message using a high frequency (HF) communication system based on the input. The frequency range used by the HF communication system is lower than a frequency range used by the cellular communication system. The method includes controlling transmission by the HF communication system based on determining to transmit the message using the HF communication system.
Claims20
A method of controlling communication in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving an input;
- determining, using a processor and based on the input, whether to transmit a message using an available high frequency (HF) communication system rather than an available cellular communication system, wherein a frequency range used by the HF communication system is in a megahertz range and is lower than a frequency range used by the cellular communication system;
- and
- controlling transmission by the HF communication system based on determining to transmit the message using the HF communication system.
A system to communicate in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a cellular communication system configured to transmit and receive using cellular frequencies;
- a high frequency (HF) communication system configured to transmit and receive using one or more carrier frequencies that are in a megahertz range and less than a range of frequencies used by the cellular communication system;
- and
- a controller configured to receive an input and to determine, based on the input, whether to transmit a message using the HF communication system rather than the cellular communication system.
