US Patent 10334405 Identifying a geographic location for a stationary micro-vehicular cloud

The disclosure includes embodiments for identifying a geographic location for a stationary micro-vehicular cloud. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, by an onboard unit of a connected vehicle, a wireless beacon including a unique identifier of an infrastructure element which broadcasted the wireless beacon. The method includes identifying, based on the unique identifier, a geographic location for a stationary micro-vehicular cloud. In this way the geographic location of the stationary micro-vehicular cloud is identified without the use of global positioning system (“GPS”) data.
