Vehicular Micro Cloud Spinout for Dynamic Task and Resource Splitting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicular micro clouds face challenges in dynamically adapting to changing geographic regions and task requirements, as vehicles within a micro cloud may need additional resources or different tasks than those provided, and existing systems lack efficient methods for vehicles to exit and form new micro clouds based on these needs.
Innovation Solution
A spinout system that allows a subset of vehicles within a first vehicular micro cloud to exit and form a second micro cloud, either stationary or mobile, based on identified reasons such as the need for additional resources or different tasks, using a processor and wireless radio to manage the formation of the new micro cloud.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If vehicles remain in a single vehicular micro cloud, then network stability is maintained, but adaptability to changing geographic regions and task requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the vehicular micro cloud by allowing subset formation, where vehicles can exit the parent micro cloud and form new subset micro clouds. This segmentation enables adaptability to different geographic regions and task requirements while maintaining stability through structured exit and formation procedures managed by the spinout system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic reconfiguration of vehicular micro clouds through the spinout mechanism. Vehicles can dynamically exit parent micro clouds and form new subset micro clouds based on changing conditions such as geographic location and task requirements, making the overall system adaptable while maintaining stable operational structures through controlled transitions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If vehicles form new micro clouds frequently, then adaptability to resource needs improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spinout system acts as an intermediary that manages the complex processes of exiting and forming micro clouds. It provides standardized procedures and protocols that simplify the formation of new subset micro clouds, reducing the operational complexity for individual vehicles while enabling frequent adaptability to resource needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes key parameters such as geographic location, task requirements, and resource availability to trigger micro cloud formation and exit decisions. By monitoring these parameters and using them as decision criteria, the system enables adaptability without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus reducing overall system complexity.
3Reliability
If vehicles access remote cloud servers continuously, then resource availability is ensured, but network traffic and latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-forming subset micro clouds with necessary computing resources before they are needed. Vehicles can exit the parent micro cloud and join subset micro clouds that already have cached data and computational resources locally, eliminating the need for continuous remote server access and reducing latency while maintaining resource availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-dimension remote cloud access model to a multi-dimensional architecture where subset micro clouds provide local resource access. This dimensional change from centralized remote access to distributed local access reduces network traffic and latency while ensuring reliable resource availability through proximity-based resource sharing.
