AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for seamless train-to-ground communication in rail transport fail to account for the specific characteristics of rail travel, such as precise knowledge of the train's trajectory, travel parameters, and user density, leading to potential network congestion and service interruptions.
A method for selecting an access network that calculates a potential user density score for available networks, compares it with a threshold, and configures the communication link based on this score, considering the specificities of rail travel to optimize connectivity.
The method provides higher quality network connectivity by anticipating network congestion and minimizing service interruptions, leveraging the determinism of railway routes and available information to adapt communication links dynamically.
