Abstract
A vehicle includes a processor, programmed to utilize a modem to receive an update request as a short message service (SMS) message, identify a network quality metric for a data connection to a base station of a wide-area network, when the quality metric exceeds a predefined threshold value, download the software update from the wide-area network, and otherwise, send an update response as an SMS deliver report indicating rejection of the update request.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- a processor, programmed to utilize a modem to
- responsive to receipt of an update request, identify a network quality metric for a data connection to a base station of a wide-area network,
- identify a predefined threshold value for the network quality metric according to a priority of a software update indicated for download by the update request,
- responsive to the network quality metric exceeding the predefined threshold value, download the software update from the wide-area network, and
- otherwise, send an update response indicating rejection of the update request.

A method comprising:
- responsive to a vehicle receiving an update request to install a software update as a short message service (SMS) message, identify a network quality metric for a data connection to a base station of a wide-area network;
- identify a predefined threshold value for the network quality metric according to a priority of a software update indicated for download by the update request,
- responsive to the network quality metric exceeding the predefined threshold value corresponding to the priority of the software update, downloading the software update from the wide-area network;
- and
- otherwise, sending an SMS deliver report indicating rejection of the update request.

A system comprising:
- a memory storing a database;
- and
- a processor, programmed to
- send an update request to a vehicle, the update request indicating a priority of a software update indicated for download the vehicle,
- receive an update response indicating rejection of the update request and a location of the vehicle, the rejection being made responsive to a network quality metric corresponding to the priority failing to exceed a predefined threshold value corresponding to the priority,
- update the database to indicate that the vehicle rejected the update request at the location, and
- use the database to avoid sending further update requests to the vehicle at the location.
