Abstract:
Techniques for distributing content to mobile computing devices, such as in the context of a vehicle-based wireless network, are described. In some examples, a collection of vehicle-mounted devices forms a cooperative wireless network to distribute content items throughout the network. The devices in the network automatically and independently vary the transmission rates in order to optimize or at least improve throughput, network connectivity, and/or range. Each device may determine a utilization level of a wireless communication channel. If the utilization level is below a threshold level, the device increases the transmission data rate of its transceiver, thereby decreasing range. If the utilization level is above a threshold level, the device decreases the transmission data rate of its transceiver, thereby increasing range.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for distributing content in a vehicle-based wireless network, the system comprising:\n a vehicle-based communication device having a wireless network connection configured to communicate over a Wi-Fi network; and a central processing unit (CPU), wherein the CPU is configured to:\n determine a utilization level for a wireless channel used to communicate with other vehicle-based communication devices communicatively coupled to the Wi-Fi network; \n when the utilization level is below a threshold level, increase transmission data rate of the wireless network connection; and \n when the utilization level is above a threshold level, decrease the transmission data rate of the wireless network connection, \n wherein the wireless network connection transmits data to at least one of the other vehicle-based communication devices via the Wi-Fi network,
