Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for use of adaptive and dynamic Wi-Fi® scanning policies in a network of moving things. A vehicle-based network node may be configured to obtain, during operations in an area of a network of moving things, context-related data associated with the vehicle, and to manage Wi-Fi® scanning based on the context-related data. The managing may include determining based on the context-related data, when to scan for Wi-Fi® access points, and when scanning, selecting based on the context-related data, at least one Wi-Fi® scan policy, and configuring Wi-Fi® scanning based on the at least one Wi-Fi® scan policy. A cloud-based network node may be configured to receive from network nodes in the vehicle communication network Wi-Fi® connectivity-related data, and to generate or update, based on processing of the Wi-Fi® connectivity-related data, at least one Wi-Fi® scanning decision model for optimizing Wi-Fi® scanning operations in mobile network nodes.
