Abstract
Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for managing resource utilization in a network of moving things, for example including autonomous vehicles.
Claims23
A vehicle communication network comprising:
- a wireless access point (AP) comprising:
- at least one AP transceiver;
- an AP processor and memory;
- and
- at least one module operable to, at least:
- utilize the at least one AP transceiver to provide wireless network connectivity to other devices within communication range of the wireless AP;
- utilize the at least one AP transceiver to receive an application;
- and
- execute the application;
- and
- a second node comprising:
- a second node processor and memory;
- and
- at least one module operable to, at least:
- receive the application from an application source;
- determine a level of availability of a sharable resource of the wireless AP;
- determine, based at least in part on the determined level of availability of the sharable resource of the wireless AP, whether to map the application to the wireless AP;
- and
- if it is determined to map the application to the wireless AP, then:
- communicate the application to the wireless AP for execution by the wireless AP;
- and
- during execution of the application by the wireless AP, control execution of the application by the wireless AP.

A wireless access point (AP) for use in a vehicle communication network, the wireless AP comprising:
- at least one transceiver;
- a processor and memory;
- and
- at least one module operable to, at least:
- utilize the at least one transceiver to provide wireless network connectivity to other devices within communication range of the wireless AP;
- utilize the at least one transceiver to communicate first information to a second system via at least the vehicle communication network, wherein the first information comprises information identifying a level of availability of a sharable resource of the wireless AP;
- and
- in response to, at least, the communicated first information, at least:
- utilize the at least one transceiver to receive an application from the second system to execute utilizing the sharable resource;
- and
- execute the application under control of the second system.

A network node for use in a vehicle communication network, the network node comprising:
- a processor and memory;
- and
- at least one module operable to, at least:
- receive an application from an application source;
- determine a level of availability of a sharable resource of a wireless AP of the vehicle communication network;
- determine, based at least in part on the determined level of availability of the sharable resource of the wireless AP, whether to map the application to the wireless AP;
- and
- if it is determined to map the application to the wireless AP, then:
- communicate the application to the wireless AP for execution by the wireless AP;
- and
- during execution of the application by the wireless AP, control execution of the application by the wireless AP.
