Partitioned wireless communication system with redundant data links and power lines

A method comprising:

• monitoring, by a power interface of a vehicle, for a loss or a disruption of power transfer on a first power line of redundant power lines between a power supply of a communication gateway unit (CGU) and a remote wireless transceiver unit (RWTU) of the vehicle,
• wherein
• the first power line connects the CGU to the RWTU and supplies power from the power supply of the CGU to the RWTU,
• the CGU is configured to analyze vehicle data of the vehicle,
• the RWTU is configured to obtain the vehicle data from the CGU and transmit the vehicle data to an external device that is located away from the vehicle,
• the CGU and the RWTU are placed at different locations of the vehicle, and
• the RWTU is located at a second location of the vehicle that is closer to each of one or more antennas than a first location of the CGU;
• and
• in response to a detection of a loss or disruption of power transfer on the first power line, selecting, by the power interface, a second power line of the redundant power lines to transfer power to the RWTU.

One or more non-transitory storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices of a vehicle, cause the one or more computing devices to:

• monitor for a loss or a disruption of power transfer on a first power line of redundant power lines between a power supply of a communication gateway unit (CGU) and a remote wireless transceiver unit (RWTU) of the vehicle,
• wherein
• the first power line connects the CGU to the RWTU and supplies power from the power supply of the CGU to the RWTU,
• the CGU is configured to analyze vehicle data of the vehicle,
• the RWTU is configured to obtain the vehicle data from the CGU and transmit the vehicle data to an external device that is located away from the vehicle,
• the CGU and the RWTU are placed at different locations of the vehicle, and
• the RWTU is located at a second location of the vehicle that is closer to each of one or more antennas than a first location of the CGU;
• and
• in response to a detection of a loss or disruption of power transfer on the first power line, select a second power line of the redundant power lines to transfer power to the RWTU.
