Abstract:
Aspects relate to automatic execution of a target action, which can be energy-intensive tasks, processing compute-intensive tasks, interaction with a node, or combinations thereof. A context aware trigger, power aware trigger, a randomly scheduled wakeup trigger, a deterministically scheduled wakeup trigger, and/or a predictively scheduled wakeup trigger can be utilized to determine the availability of contexts associated with the target action. Based on the availability of a context that should be available, one or more target actions are automatically executed and/or selectively suspended.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus provides or enables dynamic cooperative wireless data delivery service based on dynamic proximate locations of mobile nodes in wireless networks. A source wireless terminal may offload data for delayed transmission by a neighboring wireless terminal. The source may attempt delayed data transmission via any cooperating neighboring node (mule), whether mobile or stationary. A utility function may be used to compare costs of communicating via direct links or through opportunistically available links provided by mules. The mule may advertise availability of indirect data delivery service including probable latency time associated with the indirect delivery service.
Abstract:
A collaborative method for a node includes forming a local network with at least one other node using a lower power subsystem; selecting a master node from among the local network based on a first set of criteria; and communicating with a back end server over a wireless wide area network (WWAN) using a higher power subsystem. An apparatus may include a first subsystem for communicating with a local network; and a second subsystem having an active mode and an inactive mode, the second subsystem for communicating with a wireless wide area network (WWAN) when in the active mode, the apparatus selecting the active mode or inactive mode based on a set of criteria.
Abstract:
Embodiment methods and systems enable completing online transactions when there is insufficiently reliable connectivity between the initiating computing device and the remote server to enable completing the transaction directly. Transactions in such situations are accomplished using a RESTful Delay Tolerant Network. A set of messages constituting the web transaction are bundled, together with instructions and other metadata, in a manner that enables intermediate nodes in the network to complete the transactions on behalf of the source computing device. The source computing device then delegates the web transaction to an intermediate node. If the intermediate node can complete the transaction with the destination device, it does so on behalf of the source computing device. If not, the intermediate node delegates the web transaction to another intermediate node, which may be repeated until an intermediate node is able to complete the transaction with the destination.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for machine-to-machine communication are provided. A device receives a request from a requestor. The request requests the device to transmit information to the requestor according to a primary time duration. The device determines at least one secondary time duration within the primary time duration for transmitting the information to the requestor and schedules a transmission time within the at least one secondary time duration to transmit the information to the requestor in response to the request. The scheduling is based on additional information known to the device. A requestor determines a time duration for communicating with at least one device, transmits a request to the at least one device to transmit information to the requestor according to the time duration, and receives in response to the request the information from the at least one device within the time duration.
