Abstract

A method for vehicle communications is disclosed. The method comprises monitoring, in a vehicle during travel, line of sight (LOS) datalink messages sent to one or more other vehicles from one or more ground stations in a LOS datalink network coverage area, and calculating a rate in which the LOS datalink messages are sent to the other vehicles. The method detects that the vehicle is substantially out of the LOS datalink network coverage area, when the LOS datalink messages rate drops below a threshold value. Messages are transmitted from the vehicle over a different available network when the vehicle is substantially out of the LOS datalink network coverage area.
