Abstract
A system comprises an infrastructure element including a computer programmed to communicate with a first stationary communication node having a first directional short-wave antenna with a first field of view and a second stationary communication node having a second directional short-wave antenna with a second field of view. The first communication node is located within the second field of view. The computer is programmed to determine a first and a second transmission parameter for the first and second stationary communication node respectively based on received object detection sensor data including object data from a respective field of view of each communication node's directional antenna. Each of the first and second transmission parameters includes a transmission power and/or a data throughput rate. The computer is programmed, based on received communication metrics from the first communication node, to determine a deficiency of the second communication node, and upon determining the deficiency of the second communication node, to actuate the first communication node to provide coverage for the second field of view.
