Vehicular micro cloud transmission control protocol

A system for transmitting data to one or more of a plurality of connected vehicles, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory in communication with the one or more processors, the memory including:
• an establish module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to establish a communication connection between the system and the one or more of the plurality of connected vehicles, the plurality of connected vehicles forming a vehicular micro cloud and having a shared identification,
• a send module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to send a first portion of data to the one or more of the plurality of connected vehicles, the data having the first portion and a remaining portion,
• a receive module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive acknowledgment data from the one or more of the plurality of connected vehicles, the acknowledgment data including the shared identification,
• a validate module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to validate the acknowledgment data, and
• the send module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to, in response to the acknowledgment data being validated, send the remaining portion of the data to the one or more of the plurality of connected vehicles.

A data transmission system for a connected vehicle, the data transmission system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory in communication with the one or more processors, the memory comprising:
• a connect module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to join a vehicular micro cloud, the vehicular micro cloud having a plurality of connected vehicles including the connected vehicle, the plurality of connected vehicles having a shared identification,
• a receive module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive a first portion of data from a server, the data having the first portion and a remaining portion,
• an acknowledgment module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to, in response to receiving the first portion of data, send acknowledgment data to the server, the acknowledgment data including the shared identification, and
• the receive module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive the remaining portion of the data.
