Abstract
A backend system for a fleet of autonomous vehicles (AVs) for a given region can store a spectrum heat map indicating network coverage strength for a plurality of network types sourced at base stations located throughout the given region. The backend system can dynamically receive network quality data from the plurality of AVs traveling throughout the given region, and dynamically update the spectrum heat map based on the received network quality data.
