Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to dynamically updating an existing vehicular micro cloud. In one embodiment, a method includes determining one or more parameters of an environment around a plurality of vehicles, and identifying an impact of the one or more parameters of the environment on one or more of the plurality of vehicles associated with the existing vehicular micro cloud. The method includes identifying one or more properties of the existing vehicular micro cloud. The method includes determining which adjustment to the one or more properties of the existing vehicular micro cloud can address the impact, and updating the one or more properties based on the determination.
Claims20
A method for dynamically updating an existing vehicular micro cloud, the method comprising:
- determining one or more parameters of an environment around a plurality of vehicles;
- identifying an impact of the one or more parameters of the environment on one or more of the plurality of vehicles associated with the existing vehicular micro cloud;
- identifying an original reason for the existing vehicular micro cloud;
- determining whether one or more properties associated with the original reason for the existing vehicular micro cloud can address the impact;
- and
- updating the one or more properties based on the determination, the one or more properties including at least one of a priority, a mobility type, a dependency type, a communication category, or a collaboration criteria.
A method for dynamically updating an existing vehicular micro cloud, the method comprising:
- determining one or more parameters of an environment around a plurality of vehicles;
- identifying an impact of the one or more parameters of the environment on one or more of the plurality of vehicles associated with the existing vehicular micro cloud;
- identifying one or more properties of the existing vehicular micro cloud;
- determining which adjustment to the one or more properties of the existing vehicular micro cloud can address the impact, wherein the determining which adjustment to the one or more properties of the existing vehicular micro cloud can address the impact further includes:
- identifying an original reason for the existing vehicular micro cloud;
- identifying a new reason for the existing vehicular micro cloud based on the one or more parameters;
- determining that the original reason and the new reason are different;
- and
- in response to determining that the original reason and the new reason are different, determining which adjustment to the one or more properties of the existing vehicular micro cloud can address the impact based on the new reason;
- and
- updating the one or more properties based on the determination.
A system for dynamically updating an existing vehicular micro cloud, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory in communication with the one or more processors, the memory including:
- an environment parameter determination module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to determine one or more parameters of an environment around a plurality of vehicles;
- an impact identification module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to identify an impact of the one or more parameters of the environment on one or more of the plurality of vehicles associated with the existing vehicular micro cloud;
- and
- a vehicular micro cloud update module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- identify an original reason for the existing vehicular micro cloud;
- determine whether one or more properties associated with the original reason for the existing vehicular micro cloud can address the impact;
- and
- update the one or more properties based on the determination.
