FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a computer system 500 configured to perform various operations disclosed herein. The computer system 500 includes a processing unit 502, a memory 504, one or more user interface devices 506, one or more input/output (“I/O”) devices 508, and one or more network devices 510, each of which is operatively connected to a system bus 512. The system bus 512 enables bi-directional communication between the processing unit 502, the memory 504, the user interface devices 506, the I/O devices 508, and the network devices 510. In some embodiments, the user device 104, one or more components of the connected car 106, one or more components of the RAN 108 (e.g., one or more of the base stations 112), one or more components of the network 114, the OTA file distribution system 116, the profile creator 118, the network performance estimator 120, the file server 122, the OTA scheduler 124, the OTA on-road simulator/monitor 126, the network performance analyzer 128, or some combination thereof is/are configured, at least in part, like the computer system 500. It should be understood, however, that one or more of these elements may include additional functionality or include less functionality than now described.
The processing unit 502 may be a standard central processor that performs arithmetic and logical operations, a more specific purpose programmable logic controller (“PLC”), a programmable gate array, or other type of processor known to those skilled in the art and suitable for controlling the operation of the computer system 500. Processing units are generally known, and therefore are not described in further detail herein.
