Wireless network enhancements via inductance loops as antennas

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a roadside system, cause the roadside system to perform operations comprising:

• measuring via a meter, inductance of an inductance loop associated with a road;
• determining whether the inductance of the inductance loop is greater than a baseline;
• in response to determining that the inductance of the inductance loop is greater than the baseline, determining that a vehicle is positioned over the inductance loop, and utilizing the inductance loop to activate a roadside area network;
• connecting a user device to the roadside system via the roadside area network;
• enabling communication between the user device and a network via a backhaul;
• determining whether the inductance of the inductance loop has returned to the baseline;
• and
• in response to determining that the inductance of the inductance loop has returned to the baseline, deactivating the roadside area network.

A method comprising:

• measuring, via a meter of a roadside system comprising a processor, inductance of an inductance loop associated with a road;
• determining, by the roadside system, whether the inductance of the inductance loop is greater than a baseline;
• in response to determining that the inductance of the inductance loop is greater than the baseline, determining, by the roadside system, that a vehicle is positioned over the inductance loop, and utilizing the inductance loop to activate a roadside area network;
• connecting, by the roadside system, a user device to the roadside system via the roadside area network;
• enabling, by the roadside system, communication between the user device and a network via a backhaul;
• and
• in response to determining that the inductance of the inductance loop has returned to the baseline, deactivating the roadside area network.
