Abstract

In a first iteration, an OTA update is initiated as a background data transfer over a communications network to a plurality of vehicles. Delivery statuses for the OTA update are received from the plurality of vehicles. A vehicle list is updated to remove the vehicles with a completed OTA update based on the delivery statuses and to set a low priority to the vehicles having poor RF status. In a subsequent iteration, a first background data transfer is initiated to send the OTA update to the vehicles on the vehicle list having high priority and then a second background data transfer is initiated to send the OTA update to the vehicles on the vehicle list having the low priority. The receiving, updating, and subsequent iteration operations are repeated until all of the vehicles have received the OTA update.
