Abstract
In a connected vehicle environment, network connection parameters such as a network congestion window and bit rate are automatically adjusted dependent on a location of a vehicle in order to optimize network performance. A geospatial database stores learned relationships between network performance of a connected vehicle at different physical locations when configured in accordance with different network parameters. The vehicle can then adjust its network parameters dynamically dependent on its location. A vehicle may maintain multiple connections to different networks concurrently for transmitting duplicate data of a data stream, with the vehicle independently adjusting parameters associated with different networks to optimize performance.
