Abstract
Among other things, this document describes systems, devices, and methods for wireless content delivery to vehicles and in particular to vehicles in cellular radio environments. The teachings hereof can be used to deliver a vehicle manufacturer's head unit updates, firmware, configurations, and other data to a vehicle. In embodiments, downloads are managed at the control plane and/or data plane. Download management can include mitigating either current or anticipated wireless congestion at cell towers, enforcing campaign priority for firmware updates, accommodating occupant-originated data flows to and from the vehicle, and/or accounting for contractual data arrangements between vehicles makers and cellular providers, among other things.
