Abstract
A method for enhancing a data communication throughput associated with an in-vehicle telematics system includes receiving a communication request from the in-vehicle telematics system to perform at least one of a data upload to the Internet and a data download from the Internet, and verifying availability of one or more mobile devices within the vehicle. The maximum capability of a mobile network interface for each of the one or more available mobile devices within the vehicle is determined. When the communication request is for uploading data to the Internet, the data is fragmented into data fragments and distributed to the available mobile devices, whereas when the communication request is for downloading data from the Internet, it is determined for each mobile device which fragment of data is to be downloaded and from which server, and the respective determined fragments are received from each mobile device.
