Abstract: A device includes a microcontroller and communications logic to identify data to be sent to another device and encapsulate the data in a data link layer frame of a wireless data link layer protocol. The data link layer frame includes a particular field and the particular field encapsulates Internet Protocol (IP) packet data, and the data is encapsulated in the IP packet data. The device further includes a transmitter to send the data to the other device over a one-hop radio link according to a low power wide area (LPWA) protocol, and the data link layer frame is sent in a physical layer frame of the LPWA protocol.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring an internet-of-things (IoT) battery device (IBD). An example IBD includes a radio transceiver to communicate with an IoT charging device (ICD), a battery, and a battery monitor to determine a state of charge for the battery. An alerter is included to send an alert message to the ICD, via the radio transceiver, to indicate that the SoCh is less than an alert threshold.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for a reconfigurable roadside network. Current traffic data of a road segment is received from sensors. A traffic scenario is identified based on current the traffic data. Key performance indicators are determined for the traffic scenario. The roadside network is modified based on the key performance indicators.

Abstract: Technologies for managing the health of livestock include one or more livestock health sensor systems configured to determine livestock health data of livestock animals. The livestock health data includes livestock health characteristic data indicative of a health characteristic of the corresponding livestock animal associated livestock identification data that uniquely identifies each livestock animal. The livestock identification data is received by each livestock health sensor system from a livestock identification tag coupled to the corresponding livestock animal. Each livestock health sensor system transmits the determined livestock health data to a livestock health monitoring server, which aggregates the livestock health data for each livestock animal and analyzes the health data to determine whether any abnormalities are present. If so, the livestock health monitoring server may control a livestock treatment device to provide treatment to the corresponding livestock animal on a per-animal basis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for self-adjusting networks including internet-of-things (IoT) devices is provided. An exemplary system includes a source discovery system configured to identify if a source sending a message is in a database, and, if not, add the source to the database and rank the source by link metrics of messages received from the source. A sink discovery system is configured to identify if a sink receiving a message is in a database, and, if not, add the sink to the database. The sink discovery system is configured to rank the sink by link metrics of messages responded to by the sink. A dynamic mapping system is configured to create a dynamic map of communications between a source and a sink, and implement a self-healing subsystem to restore a loss of communications between a source and a sink.

Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes a sensor module. The sensor module includes a sensor; and a sensor controller. The sensor controller is to enumerate the sensor to a sensor processing unit in response to being powered on. The enumerating includes communicating enumeration data to the sensor processing unit. The enumeration data includes one or more of a sensor name, a sensor manufacturer name, a sensor serial number, a hardware version, a firmware version, and/or one or more sensor characteristics. The sensor controller is further to monitor operation of the sensor and to provide sensor lifecycle information to the sensor processing unit over the lifecycle of the sensor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for extending an operational lifetime of an Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an example apparatus including the IoT device, the IoT device includes a communications device configured to transmit a report from a message dispatcher and a power monitor to monitor a reserve power level. An interval adjuster controls the timing of the report based, at least in part, on the reserve power level.
