Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel communication paradigm where devices, identified by unique addresses and belonging to different networks, are connected to the Internet. Communication between these devices and the Internet is facilitated with the help of IoT gateways. To have maximum coverage of network with reduced overall deployment cost, optimal placement of gateways is necessary. Owing to the high cost involved with IoT gateways, devices known as Solution Specific ...
Internet of Things (IoT) in a real world scenario involves collecting data by sensor devices and communicating the sensed data, through gateway devices, to the IoT Cloud (or the Internet) using direct or multi-hop communication. A gateway typically supports multiple wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and each WSN might use a different technology for communication. Hence gateways are designed to be heterogeneous, having necessary hardware support only for those technologies corr...
The default mode network (DMN) involves interacting cortical areas, including the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), and subcortical areas, including the medial te ...
A defaultgateway router of a multi-homed site is configured for supplying, to a host device, a plurality of address prefixes having been advertised by respective exit routers providing respective connecting links for the multi-homed site to a wide area network. The defaultgateway router sends the address prefixes to the host device in a determined order based on a determined preference in the defaultgateway router for reaching the respective exit rout...
A configuration agent allows a network node seeking to be automatically configured with an IP address and a defaultgateway address to be configured as its own gateway. In first and second embodiments of the present invention, the configuration agent resides on a network device (such as a switch or bridge) that is coupled to two network segments, with one network segments including a node to be configured and another network segment including a server capable of automaticall...
Most traditional models of wireless mesh networks involve a mobile device connecting to the backbone through one of the available gateways in a wireless mesh network. In this paper, we present an alternate model, in which mobile devices are allowed to connect through more than one of the available gateways. We call the model multi-gateway association (MGA). We present arguments for why such a model can result in better capacity, fairness, diversity and security when compared...
A serving gateway facing a radio access network receives packets, applies deep packet inspect to classify the packet into a predetermined application class, and inserts a marker identifying the class and a QoS associated with the class. The serving gateway assigns the packets to a queue within a default bearer based on the class and the QoS marker. The serving gateway transfers packets through the bearer by processing the queues in accordance with their priority.
An ELAN having redundant defaultgateways is attached to an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) communications network. The ELAN's redundant defaultgateways are comprised of a first and second routers. The first router is associated with a primary defaultgateway and the second router is associated with a backup defaultgateway. Both the primary and backup defaultgateways are connected to the ELAN and both the primary and backu...
