Abstract:
A system includes a wireless transceiver providing access to primary and secondary hotspot in-vehicle networks and a vehicle processor. The vehicle processor monitors data usage on the secondary hotspot network, and, responsive to the data usage exceeding a predefined data limit, throttles a data transfer rate of the secondary hotspot network in a predefined manner, while leaving the primary hotspot network unconstrained.
