A method for maintaining network quality of service (QoS) for in-vehicle applications includes receiving historical network speed data from a plurality of remote actors and mapping a network speed along the road ahead of the host vehicle using the historical network speed data from the plurality of remote actors and identifying a bad network coverage zone along the road ahead of the host vehicle. The method further includes determining an amount of time that the host vehicle will spend in the bad network coverage zone, determining an amount of application data to cache as a function of the amount of time that the host vehicle will spend in the bad network coverage zone, and caching the amount of application data before the host vehicle reaches the bad network coverage zone.

Methods to maintaining network quality of service for in-vehicle applications

A method for video streaming includes receiving a video service request from a vehicle. The video service request is indicative of a request for a video content. The method further includes receiving a bandwidth prediction of a cellular network from the vehicle, and a list of available video codec configurations for a video content associated with the video service request. Moreover, method includes determining a selected video codec configuration based on the bandwidth prediction of the vehicle, determining that the selected video codec configuration is part of the list of available video codec configurations, and providing the video content to the vehicle using the selected video codec configuration.
