Resource assurance for vehicle cloudification

A system for a connected vehicle that is a member of a vehicular micro cloud, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory storing computer code which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• modify an operation of a communication unit of the connected vehicle to receive a notification message from a communication server via a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication;
• determine that an allocation function included in the notification message meets an expectation of the connected vehicle, wherein the allocation function is configured to satisfy a resource demand of the vehicular micro cloud while limiting a total allocation distributed by the communication server;
• and
• responsive to the allocation function meeting the expectation of the connected vehicle, provision a resource requested by the notification message to the vehicular micro cloud for use by any member of the vehicular micro cloud.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory memory included in a connected vehicle that is a member of a vehicular micro cloud, the non-transitory memory storing computer-executable code that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• modify an operation of a communication unit of the connected vehicle to receive a notification message from a communication server via a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication;
• determine that an allocation function included in the notification message meets an expectation of the connected vehicle, wherein the allocation function is configured to satisfy a resource demand of the vehicular micro cloud while limiting a total allocation distributed by the communication server;
• and
• responsive to the allocation function meeting the expectation of the connected vehicle, provision a resource requested by the notification message to the vehicular micro cloud for use by any member of the vehicular micro cloud.
