Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing network congestion for internet-of-things (IoT) devices is provided. An exemplary method includes sending out tracer messages to a plurality of cloud components. Response messages are monitored from the plurality of cloud components. Response messages received are stored in a storage system. The response messages are queried to determine conditions in the cloud. An alert message is created to report network conditions to an IoT device.

Abstract: Ultrasonic location systems are provided. These ultrasonic location systems include two or more wave transmitters, two or more wave receivers, and a mapping component that controls the operation of the transmitters and the receivers. The mapping component relies on collaborative operation of multiple transmitters and multiple phased-array receivers where each of the transmitters emits a short burst of sound wave in a pre-defined sequence and after every burst all phased-array receivers detect the wave reflected from surrounding objects. The mapping component uses the position of the transmitters, the position of the receivers, the time of transmission, the time of reception, and the phase shift of the waves to calculate a time of flight and a direction of arrival for the reflections. The mapping component uses triangulation to determine a distance between any physical objects acting as sources of reflection and one or more physical objects having a recorded position relative to the receivers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing communication congestion for internet of things (IoT) devices are provided. An exemplary apparatus includes an IoT device that includes a data transfer controller configured to create a sensor message and dispatch the sensor message to a pipeline processing application in a cloud. A data store is configured to store the sensor message in a cache if it cannot be sent due to communication issues. A data backlog transfer controller is configured to send the sensor message from the data store when the communications issues are not present.
