DISCOVERY OF INTERNET OF THINGS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18571709 titled 'DISCOVERY OF INTERNET OF THINGS NETWORK

The abstract of this patent application describes a system for discovering a Personal Internet of Things (IoT) Network (PIN) through a series of messages exchanged between wireless devices.

• Discovery policy configuration information associated with a PIN is determined, including a PIN identification (ID) and enabling discovery for the PIN.
• A first message is sent to a second Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) if discovery for the PIN is enabled, indicating the PIN ID.
• A second message is received from the second WTRU, requesting information associated with the PIN.
• A third message is sent to the second WTRU, providing the requested information associated with the PIN.

Potential Applications: - IoT device management - Wireless network optimization - Data sharing between devices

Problems Solved: - Efficient discovery of IoT networks - Seamless communication between devices - Enhanced network security

Benefits: - Streamlined IoT network setup - Improved data exchange between devices - Enhanced network performance

Commercial Applications: Title: IoT Network Discovery System for Enhanced Device Communication This technology can be utilized in smart home systems, industrial IoT applications, and healthcare monitoring devices to improve network connectivity and data sharing capabilities.

Questions about IoT Network Discovery System: 1. How does this system improve the efficiency of IoT network discovery? 2. What are the key benefits of enabling discovery for a Personal IoT Network?

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities may be provided to discover a personal Internet of Things (IoT) network (PIN). A discovery policy configuration information associated with a PIN may be determined. The discovery policy configuration information may comprise a PIN identification (ID) and may indicate that discovery for the PIN may be enabled. A first message may be sent to a second WTRU if discovery for the PIN is enabled. The first message may be based on the discovery policy configuration information and may indicate the PIN ID. A second message may be received from the second WTRU. The second message may indicate the PIN ID and may indicate a request for information associated with the PIN. A third message may be sent to the second WTRU. The third message may indicate the PIN ID and may indicate the requested information that may be associated with the PIN.
