A mobile vehicle communications system and a method of using that system to provide over-the-air (OTA) data from a vehicle backend system to a target vehicle. The method includes the steps of: receiving wireless carrier system (WCS)-associated data from a plurality of vehicles that are associated with the backend system; in response to the receiving step, determining a preferred geographic communication region from among a plurality of geographic communication regions, wherein the determination includes determining that the preferred geographic communication region meets or exceeds a quality of service (QoS) threshold that at least some of the remaining plurality of geographic communication regions do not meet or exceed; and in response to the determining step, transmitting the OTA data from the backend system to the target vehicle when the target vehicle is within the preferred geographic communication region.

Timing delivery of over-the-air data to a vehicle

A method of processing requests to establish wireless communication sessions in a mobile vehicle communications system. The method comprises receiving a request to establish a communication session between a telematics unit of a vehicle and a remote facility, wherein the request takes the form of one or more electrical signals. The method further comprises determining whether less than a predetermined number of requests to establish a communication session between the telematics unit and remote facility have been received from the sender of the request within a predetermined period of time. When it is determined that less than the predetermined number of requests have been received from the sender within the predetermined period of time, the method still further comprises establishing a communication session between the telematics unit and the remote facility. A system for performing or utilizing the above-described methodology is also provided.
