Abstract
A system for transferring bulk data between vehicles of a micro cloud can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store an available bandwidth estimation module and a bulk data transfer module. The available bandwidth estimation module can include instructions that cause the processor to produce, using an available bandwidth estimation model, a current network metric, and current vehicle trajectory information, an estimate of an available bandwidth for a transfer of bulk data. The bulk data transfer module can include instructions that cause the processor to: (1) determine, based on the estimate and a size of the bulk data, a number of connections, within a wireless channel of a micro cloud, needed to transfer the bulk data within a specific time duration and (2) cause the transfer of the bulk data from a transmitting vehicle, of the micro cloud, to a receiving vehicle of the micro cloud.
