Disclosed are a system and method of regulating mobile device communications while operating a motor vehicle. One example method may include determining a speed event indicating that a speed of the motor vehicle has performed at least one of exceeded a first threshold above which mobile device usage restriction policies are invoked and fallen below a second threshold allowing the mobile device restriction policies to be removed. The first threshold may be equal to or greater than the second threshold. As a result of obtaining the speed event, the method may also provide transmitting the speed event to a remote edge gateway server located remotely from the motor vehicle, which stores the speed event for reference purposes when determining a policy for routing a particular mobile device call, text message and/or mobile data session.

The client location determining component determines the location of the wireless client device. The redirecting component generates a redirection instruction based on the location of the wireless network hotspot device and the location of the wireless client device. The communication component transmits the redirection instruction to the wireless client device to instruct the wireless client device to redirect to the wireless network hotspot device.

Provided is a method for determining access permission for a beamforming computing device communicating with a beamforming transceiver. The method includes obtaining, at a central control system, location information from an inter-zone sensor, wherein the inter-zone sensor is configured to monitor and determine a location for the beamforming computing device as the beamforming computing device nears a boundary between a first access zone and a second access zone; accessing, by a storage device of the central control system, a rule to determine whether the beamforming computing device is permitted to operate in the second access zone; determining whether the beamforming computing device is permitted to operate in the second access zone based on the rule; and executing, by a rules engine of the central control system, a first command to the inter-zone sensor to instruct a beamforming transceiver in the second zone to initiate communication with the beamforming computing device.

A communication system and method for supporting a plurality of vehicle-to-everything radio access technologies (V2X RATs) is provided. The communication system configured to support multiple V2X RATs transmits, using a first V2X RAT, an indication of its availability to support an interworking function between the plurality of V2X RATs. The communication system receives an instruction to provide the interworking function between different V2X RATs. The interworking function may be incorporated in a vehicle that is joined to a platoon configured to use a first V2X RAT, and provide the interworking function between the first and a second V2X RAT. The interworking function may be used to add further vehicles to the platoon that communicate using only the second V2X RAT.

A method of performing handover of one or more user equipment on a vehicle, by a first base station including at least one radio unit onboard the vehicle, is provided. The method includes determining location information of the at least one radio unit onboard the vehicle, determining a distance to a first vehicle station based on the location information of the at least one radio unit onboard vehicle, and performing a forced handover of the one or more user equipment connected to the at least one radio unit from the first base station to a second base station based on the determined distance. The second base station is within a proximity of the first vehicle station. The at least one radio unit onboard the vehicle is deactivated for a first time period.
