Abstract: Embodiments herein include a method executable by a processor coupled to a memory. The processor is local to a vehicle can operable to determine initial location and direction information associated with the vehicle at an origin of a trip request. The processor receives one or more frames captured while the vehicle is traveling along a navigable route relative to the trip request and estimates an execution time for each of one or more computations respective to an analyzing of the one or more frames. The processor, also, off-loads the one or more computations to processing resources of a cloud-based system that is in communication with the processor of the vehicle in accordance with the corresponding execution times.

Abstract: A method, a system and computer program products for securely enabling in-network functionality over encrypted data sessions, the method involving establishing an encrypted data session between a client communication application (100) and a server communication application (200) over a communication network; receiving and/or transmitting, by the client communication application (100), in the established encrypted data session, at least one encrypted communication data (D) from/to the server communication application (200) through a computing network element (M); and performing, by the computing network element (M), different actions other than data packet forwarding from one communication application to the other on the encrypted communication data (D). The encrypted communication data (D) has a plurality of data portions, or contexts, (CTX), each encrypted by a context key, and the different actions being specific for the computing network element (M) and for one or more of the contexts (CTX_X).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for self-automated parking lots for autonomous vehicles based on vehicular networking, advantageous in reducing parking movements and space. It is described a device for self-automated parking lot for autonomous vehicles based on vehicular networking, comprising: a vehicle electronic module for receiving, executing and reporting vehicle movements, a parking lot controller for managing and coordinating a group of vehicles in parking and unparking maneuvers, the vehicle module and controller comprising a vehicular ad hoc networking communication system. It is also described a method comprising moving autonomously in platoon one or more rows of already parked vehicles in order to make available a parking space for a vehicle arriving to the parking space; and moving autonomously in platoon one or more rows of parked vehicles in order to make a parked vehicle able to exit the parking space.

Abstract: An emulator for emulating a wireless network comprised of a plurality of RF nodes is comprised of a programmable controller for emulating the movements of the plurality of RF nodes within an emulated space. The controller provides both information and control signals based on the emulated movements. A programmable logic core receives a plurality of signals from the plurality of RF nodes and emulates signal propagation based on the information from the controller. A plurality of signal generation and conversion cards are interposed between the programmable logic core and the RF nodes. The signal generation and conversion cards are responsive to the control signals. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.
