Abstract
A system for communicating within a vehicle includes a cabin manager unit (CMU) in the vehicle. The CMU is configured to communicate with a device in the vehicle and configured to communicate wirelessly with a first panel in the vehicle. The CMU is configured to perform operations. The operations include electronically removing the first panel from the network in response to the first panel malfunctioning. The operations also include electronically adding a second panel to the network to replace the first panel. The CMU is configured to communicate wirelessly with the second panel. The operations also include ranking a plurality of frequency ranges used by the second panel based at least partially upon one or more metrics of the frequency ranges. The operations also include assigning a first command signal to one of the frequency ranges based at least partially upon the ranking.
