Multi-orbit network assignment techniques for commercial passenger vehicle

A system for managing a network assignment for a commercial passenger vehicle, comprising:

• a storage configured to store travel information of a current travel and a past travel by the commercial passenger vehicle that is configured to provide wireless communication services for passengers in the commercial passenger vehicle during a trip;
• and
• a server disposed outside the commercial passenger vehicle and in communication with the storage and the commercial passenger vehicle;
• and
• wherein the server is configured to select a network for the commercial passenger vehicle based on 1) an estimated network demand of the commercial passenger vehicle, the estimated network demand calculated based on the travel information and 2) estimated capacities of satellite networks and a cellular network, and
• wherein the server is further configured to detect, at a first time, a triggering event related to wireless communication services provided to passengers in the commercial passenger vehicle;
• receive network parameters indicative of historical characteristics of the wireless communication services provided by the satellite networks and the cellular network, apply a machine learning algorithm that processes the network parameters and generate output parameters indicative of estimated characteristics of the wireless communication services, and select, based on the output parameters, in response to the triggering event, a network for use by the commercial passenger vehicle for providing the wireless communication services at a second time after the first time.
