Claim 9:
10. A system for distributed vehicle navigation processing for a vehicle, the system comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor executing the instructions to perform a process including:
obtaining reference data from one or a combination of an imaging system, an antenna system, and/or a radar system of the vehicle;
in response to obtaining the reference data, determining whether a signal strength of a GNSS signal received by the vehicle is below a threshold;
in response to determining the signal strength of the GNSS signal is below the threshold, selecting one of a plurality of connected computing entities communicatively connected to the vehicle as a supplemental locating entity to which a navigation supplementation request message including the reference data is to be transmitted, the plurality of connected computing entities including comprising an edge node and a cloud node; and
transmitting the navigation supplementation request message including the reference data to the selected supplemental locating entity defined by the edge node or the cloud node,
wherein the edge node or the cloud node: in response to receiving the navigation supplementation request message from the vehicle, performs a position resolution process to determine a position of the vehicle by one or more functions, and transmits a resolved position message including the determined position of the vehicle to the vehicle; and
in response to receiving the resolved position message, performing a navigation control process based on the determined position.
