Abstract
Systems and methods for multicasting a dataset to a fleet of vehicles by a deadline based on respective transit schedules of vehicles in the fleet are disclosed. Based on the vehicle transit schedules, a time segment may be determined for delivering at least a portion of the dataset to at least a subset of the vehicles in the fleet. The determination may be based on a maximum number of fleet vehicles that are scheduled to be simultaneously in transit. The determination may be additionally or alternatively based on an available transmission bandwidth, a time segment duration, a minimum transit duration, and/or other criteria. A multicast transmission including at least a portion of the data set is initiated based on the determination. Multiple multicasts and unicasts may achieve the complete transmission of the entire dataset to the entire fleet of vehicles prior to a deadline.
