Abstract

A coverage map for a wireless network is generated. The network includes a server communicating with clients in a coverage area. The clients are mobile devices. At the server, location and reliability information from each client is received. The server then constructs and maintains the coverage map according to the location and reliability information. The coverage map is used to deliver telematic information from the server to the clients in response to requests by the clients.
