Vehicle and vehicle system

Provided is a communication device including: a first receiving unit configured to receive distribution information from a second moving object that is different from a first moving object on which the communication device is mounted; a storage unit configured to store the distribution information; a transmission unit configured to transmit the distribution information to a third moving object that is different from the first moving object; and a communication relay unit configured to relay a communication between an external terminal located outside the first moving object, and an external network, in which the distribution information includes a restriction condition for restricting the transmission of the distribution information, and when the transmission unit determines that the transmission of the distribution information to the third moving object is not restricted based on the restriction condition, the transmission unit transmits the distribution information to the third moving object.

Communication device, computer-readable storage medium, and system

There is provided a communication control apparatus comprising a processor. The processor receives, from a first mobile communication apparatus, a request for permission of data transmission to a second mobile communication apparatus, the second mobile communication apparatus including a buffer memory to store received data. The processor determines whether to permit the data transmission based on a free capacity of the buffer memory and a reserved capacity indicated by a reservation setting of the buffer memory. The processor updates, when the data transmission is determined to be permitted, the reservation setting such that a capacity for received data corresponding to the data transmission is added to the reserved capacity. The processor transmits, when the data transmission is determined to be permitted, a response indicating that the data transmission is permitted to the first mobile communication apparatus.
