Abstract
A system for communicating within a vehicle includes a cabin manager unit (CMU) in the vehicle that is configured to communicate with a device in the vehicle through a wire and configured to communicate wirelessly with a panel in the vehicle. The CMU is configured to perform operations. The operations include transmitting a default state signal to the device. The operations also include transmitting an advertising signal to the panel. The operations also include ranking a plurality of frequency ranges used by the 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. The first command signal includes a command from a user received at the panel. The operations also include receiving the first command signal from the panel in the assigned frequency range.
