SCHEDULING TRANSMISSIONS OF INTERNET OF THINGS DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015726 titled 'SCHEDULING TRANSMISSIONS OF INTERNET OF THINGS DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computer-implemented method for scheduling transmissions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in a communications network. The method involves obtaining transmission patterns for the IoT devices and clustering them based on these patterns. The method then schedules transmissions of the IoT devices in different clusters to different network resources, increasing synchronization and allowing for increased periods of inactivity between transmissions.

• The method obtains transmission patterns for IoT devices.
• The IoT devices are clustered based on the obtained transmission patterns.
• Transmissions of IoT devices in different clusters are scheduled to different network resources.
• This increases synchronization of transmissions scheduled on each network resource.
• It allows for increased periods of inactivity of the network resources between transmissions.

Potential Applications:

• Efficient scheduling of IoT device transmissions in a communications network.
• Improved synchronization of transmissions in IoT networks.
• Optimization of network resource utilization in IoT deployments.

Problems Solved:

• Lack of synchronization and coordination in IoT device transmissions.
• Inefficient utilization of network resources due to overlapping transmissions.
• Difficulty in managing and scheduling a large number of IoT devices in a network.

Benefits:

• Increased efficiency and reliability of IoT device transmissions.
• Improved network resource utilization and reduced congestion.
• Enhanced scalability and manageability of IoT networks.

Original Abstract Submitted

a computer implemented method performed by a node in a communications network for scheduling transmissions of a plurality of internet of things (iot) devices to network resources in the communications network includes obtaining transmission patterns for the iot devices. the method then includes clustering the iot devices into clusters based on the obtained transmission patterns. the method then includes scheduling transmissions of iot devices in different clusters to different network resources, thereby increasing synchronisation of the transmissions scheduled on each network resource and allowing for increased periods of inactivity of the network resources between transmissions.
