Abstract
A communication system supports communication between an end node of a vehicle and a remote correspondent node via a fixed network which comprises a plurality of wireless access points with a directional antenna arrangement for mm wave radio communication using directional beams. A vehicle comprises wireless modems employing electronically steerable beamforming directional antennas for establishing mm wave radio communication links to the access points. At least one first access point is arranged to transmit atmospheric water content data for an area to the wireless modems. A link management controller of the vehicle is arranged to perform the link management in response to the atmospheric water content data. For example, mm wave radio communication links may be initialized or terminated based on the atmospheric water content data.
