In some embodiments, a serverless ad-hock vehicular network is “serverless” because the serverless ad-hock vehicular network does not include a server. In some embodiments, a serverless ad-hock vehicular network is “ad-hock” because the serverless ad-hock vehicular network is formed its members when it is determined by one or more of the members to be needed or necessary. In some embodiments, a serverless ad-hock vehicular network is “vehicular” because the serverless ad-hock vehicular network only includes connected vehicles as its endpoints. In some embodiments, the term “network” refers to a V2V network.
In some embodiments, the vehicular micro cloud only includes vehicles. For example, the serverless ad-hoc network does not include the following: an infrastructure device, a base station, a roadside device, an edge server, an edge node, and a cloud server. An infrastructure device includes any hardware infrastructure device in a roadway environment such as a traffic signal, traffic light, traffic sign, or any other hardware device that has or does not have the ability to wirelessly communicate with a wireless network.
