Many applications in an IoV setting require transfer of large data between vehicles that cannot be transferred in a single vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) contact. In this paper, we propose a scheme for large sized data transfer between vehicles by breaking up the data into smaller fragments (that can be transferred in a single contact) which are transferred to the destination using any number of other vehicles and roadside units (RSUs) as intermediate nodes. We formulate the problem as a scheduling problem and propose an offline algorithm for it. Detailed simulation results on realistic scenarios are presented to show that the use of other vehicles as intermediate nodes significantly increases the number of successful transfers.
