Abstract
Techniques for controlling user data consumption are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a user connection to a network on-board a vehicle, the network being an on-board network; and executing a volume control with credit (VCC) algorithm. Executing the VCC algorithm includes provisioning a data credit for the user connection corresponding to an initial usage estimate, placing the user connection into a first mode, initiating a timer associated with the user connection, and iteratively provisioning additional data credits associated with the user connection based on the timer. Executing the VCC algorithm further includes determining whether the user corresponding to the user connection has consumed data through the on-board network in excess of the data credit and the additional data credits; and responsive to determining that the user has consumed data in excess of the data credit and the additional data credits, placing the user connection into a second mode.
