Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of selecting a wireless carrier system using a vehicle telematics unit includes identifying the system identity of a first base station with which a vehicle telematics unit is presently registered; detecting the presence of a second base station having a different system identity using the vehicle telematics unit; determining that the system identity of the first base station is preferred by the vehicle telematics unit with respect to the system identity of the second base station; and registering the vehicle telematics unit with the second base station when the signal strength of the second base station is greater than the signal strength of the first base station.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of selecting a wireless carrier system using a vehicle telematics unit, comprising the steps of: (a) detecting that a forward link of a wireless connection from a vehicle telematics unit to a currently-used base station of a wireless carrier system is operational; (b) determining that a reverse link of the wireless connection from the currently-used base station of the wireless carrier system to the vehicle telematics unit is not operational…
