Abstract
A geographical area of a mobile network is directed to perform an OTA test content drop of a predefined time, data, size, and duration. Statistical data is identified with respect to vehicle density in the geographical area, the statistical data being computed from reception reports received from vehicles responsive to the OTA test content drop. Responsive to at least a predefined minimum target of vehicles being located in the geographical area, and based on the statistical data, one or more time slots for an OTA delivery in the geographic area suitable for broadcast delivery are determined. The OTA update is delivered over broadcast instead of unicast during the one or more time slots.
