Wi-Fi HaLow stands for Low Power Wi-Fi Standard (IEEE 802.11ah) by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Most general Wi-Fi uses the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency band. However, since the Wi-Fi HaLow standard uses a band below 1 GHz, long-distance transmission and broadband coverage are possible than existing Wi-Fi, and it also has excellent characteristics of passing through obstacles such as doors and walls. It also consumes very little power. The maximum service distance of Wi-Fi Halo is about 1 km, so it has about twice the service coverage of normal Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Halo can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) devices that require low power, such as smart homes, connected cars, and wearable devices.

Various wireless communication service methods are being tried by using the advantages of such Wi-Fi Halo. For example, in the case of a vehicle, it is necessary to use wireless communication for the software of the electronic system. In this case, a separate fee for mobile communication must be paid. However, from the point of view of the vehicle owner, the vehicle does not always have to be capable of wireless communication, so the charge for mobile communication may become an economic burden. Accordingly, there is a need for a method capable of providing various contents while providing a wireless communication service to a vehicle using such a Wi-Fi halo.
