Abstract :
Internet access to multimedia content in vehicles today is only possible via cellular networks which offer insufficient bandwidth. By using additional V2X technology in a hybrid manner, vehicles can benefit from additional bandwidth to receive enhanced internet connectivity. We introduce a holistic concept that pursues the vision of an optimal use of available access networks in a vehicular environment combined with a managed resource utilization in a user-centric way to result in maximum user experience and economic efficiency. The resulting internet connection introduces further opportunities for value-added services that maximize Quality of Experience and allows further personalization.
