1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a device, a path of travel of a mobile system;
subdividing, by the device, the path of travel into a plurality of zones;
generating, by the device, time-slotted channel hopping schedules for the plurality of zones, each time-slotted channel hopping schedule having an associated zone among the plurality of zones; and
causing, by the device, the mobile system to communicate wirelessly with networking infrastructure located along the path of travel, in accordance with a particular one of the time-slotted channel hopping schedules while the mobile system is located in its associated zone.
