Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon executed by a processor in a vehicle comprising a wireless local area network interface to communicate with a mobile device via a local wireless network and a backhaul network interface to wirelessly communicate with a backhaul network and to establish a layer 2 communication link and a layer 3 communication link to provide a link monitoring communication method. The method comprises: monitoring the layer 2 communication link and the layer 3 communication links over the backhaul network interface; reestablishing communications via the layer 2 communication link and the layer 3 communication link when a communications failure via the layer 2 communications link is detected; and reestablishing communications via the layer 3 communication link when a communications failure via only the layer 3 communication link is detected.
