Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for selecting data packets for forwarding in a vehicle network. In one example, a method includes receiving a first data packet at a first vehicle in a vehicular network and determining a geographic destination of the received first data packet. The method may also include forwarding the first data packet based at least in part on the geographic destination and a current wireless capacity of the vehicle network.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a first data packet at a first vehicle in a vehicular network;
- determining a geographic destination of the received first data packet;
- and
- forwarding the first data packet based at least in part on the geographic destination and a current wireless capacity of the vehicular network.
An apparatus for transferring data, comprising:
- means for receiving a first data packet at a first vehicle in a vehicular network;
- means for determining a geographic destination of the received first data packet;
- and
- means for determining whether to wirelessly transmit the first data packet from a source to a target vehicle based at least in part on a physical mobility associated with the target vehicle.
An apparatus for transferring data, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- receive a first data packet at a first vehicle in a vehicular network;
- determine a geographic destination of the received first data packet;
- and
- forward the first data packet based at least in part on the geographic destination and a current wireless capacity of the vehicular network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:
- receive a first data packet at a first vehicle in a vehicular network;
- determine a geographic destination of the received first data packet;
- and
- forward the first data packet based at least in part on the geographic destination and a current wireless capacity of the vehicular network.
