Embodiment Construction

[0016] The system and method will now be described using example embodiments. Example embodiments are presented in this disclosure for purposes of illustration and are not intended to constrain or limit the scope of the disclosure or claims presented herein.

[0017] Most Internet of Things (IoT) networks / services that collect and / or process data rely heavily on a connection to the cloud to deliver the service, but the network may be located remotely. For example, an IoT network / service may include a network that includes remotely located data collection devices for farming, mining, mapping, or other remote data collection applications. The data collection devices can each be paired with one or more remotely located base stations to communicate with the data collection devices to transmit collected data to other network devices, such as gateways, and then to the Internet. These types of base stations can be powered by, for example, battery-backed solar energy, since the remot...

Abstract

A base station utilizes duty cycle requirements of each of multiple base station components to efficiently consume power. The base station may include a synchronization module that allows the base station to send collected data from a cache to a gateway, which then, sends it up to the cloud. The base station may also include a sensor connectivity module that establishes a connection between the base station and data collecting devices deployed to collect data for storage in the cache. A base station controller serves as the cache for the data collected by the sensor module and sends the data to the gateway for synchronization in the cloud using the synchronization module. A base station controller determines / coordinates the duty cycle of the sensor connectivity module and synchronization module in a power efficient way depending on the current power available to the base station, network needs, and the weather conditions.

Description

Background technique [0001] The market for Internet of Things (IoT) services and devices is expanding rapidly. The number of IoT connected devices is expected to reach tens or even hundreds of billions in the next few decades. The scope and number of Internet-based or "cloud" services utilizing IoT-connected devices are also expected to expand rapidly. [0002] A key challenge in delivering services to IoT-connected devices is the need to provide services in remote areas that lack good internet connectivity, as well as other infrastructure services such as the grid. For example, power availability is often unreliable in geographically remote areas where cloud-based services may prove useful. Unreliable power availability is also common in developing countries where cloud-based services may also prove useful. This forces a reliance on other power sources, such as solar, wind and / or battery-powered sources, to power these remote IoT devices and networks. Contents of the inv...
