System and method for establishing communication channels between on-board unit of vehicle and plurality of nodes

Logic encoded in non-transitory media that includes code for execution and when executed by a processor is operable to perform operations comprising:

• establishing communication channels between an on-board unit (OBU) of a vehicle and a plurality of nodes;
• receiving a plurality of data from the plurality of nodes;
• tagging each of the plurality of data with a respective priority level;
• storing the plurality of data in a priority queue according to the respective priority levels;
• storing a first data in a data store prior to storing the first data in the priority queue if the priority queue is full and if each stored data in the priority queue is tagged with a higher priority level;
• moving a stored data tagged with a lower priority level from the priority queue to the data store if the priority queue is full and if the first data is tagged with a higher priority level;
• selecting a medium to present the first data of the plurality of data to a user;
• and
• presenting the first data to the user via the medium,
• wherein the plurality of nodes includes a remote node and an in-vehicle device.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory element configured to store data;
• a network interface;
• and
• a computing processor operable to execute instructions associated with the data, wherein the network interface, computing processor, and the memory element cooperate such that the apparatus is configured for:
• establishing communication channels between the apparatus in a vehicle and a plurality of nodes;
• receiving a plurality of data from the plurality of nodes;
• tagging each of the plurality of data with a respective priority level;
• storing the plurality of data in a priority queue according to the respective priority levels;
• storing a first data in a data store prior to storing the first data in the priority queue if the priority queue is full and if each stored data in the priority queue is tagged with a higher priority level;
• moving a stored data tagged with a lower priority level from the priority queue to the data store if the priority queue is full and if the first data is tagged with a higher priority level;
• selecting a medium to present the first data of the plurality of data to a user;
• and
• presenting the first data to the user via the medium,
• wherein the plurality of nodes includes a remote node and an in-vehicle device.
