IoT Gateway Cooperation via Central Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IoT gateway cooperation solutions have limited flexibility and extensibility due to manually configured cooperation relationships, which are inflexible and require significant human resource intervention, limiting the ability to adapt to changing network demands or new gateway additions.
Innovation Solution
A method and device where a central gateway selects and configures cooperative gateways based on deployment and configuration information, allowing dynamic adjustment of cooperation relationships without manual intervention, enhancing flexibility and reducing resource dependence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manually configured cooperation relationships are used between IoT gateways, then the cooperation relationship can be established, but the flexibility and extensibility of the solution are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling gateways to automatically select and establish cooperation relationships without manual configuration. The gateway autonomously determines cooperative gateways based on deployment information and network conditions, eliminating the need for network management personnel to manually configure cooperation relationships, thereby significantly improving flexibility and extensibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic cooperation relationship establishment where gateways can automatically adapt their cooperation relationships based on real-time network conditions and deployment information. The cooperation relationship is no longer static but dynamically adjusted according to network requirements, enabling the system to adapt to changing conditions automatically.
2Reliability
If manually configured cooperation relationships are used, then the cooperation can be established, but the requirement for human resources is high
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables gateways to autonomously manage their own cooperation relationships by automatically selecting cooperative gateways based on deployment information and network conditions. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for continuous human intervention while maintaining reliable cooperation relationships, significantly reducing human resource requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring deployment information and gateway characteristics before the network operates. The gateway uses this pre-stored information to automatically determine cooperation relationships without needing manual configuration at runtime, reducing human resource requirements while ensuring reliable cooperation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manually configured cooperation relationships are used, then the cooperation relationship can be established, but the ability to adapt to changing network demands is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling gateways to automatically detect network changes and adjust their cooperation relationships accordingly. The gateway autonomously monitors network conditions and deployment information, automatically reconfiguring cooperation relationships to adapt to changing network demands without requiring complex manual reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces feedback mechanisms where gateways continuously monitor network conditions and deployment information, using this feedback to dynamically adjust their cooperation relationships. The gateway receives feedback about network changes and automatically adapts its configuration, simplifying the complexity of adapting to network changes.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for implementing gateway cooperation, a gateway and a storage medium. The method for implementing the gateway cooperation includes: selecting, from gateways in an IoT network, at least one cooperative gateway for a target gateway; notifying the target gateway of the at least one cooperative gateway, wherein the at least one cooperative gateway is used for establishing cooperation with the target gateway and performing cooperative management. The solution takes advantage of the cooperation between a target gateway and at least one cooperative gateway of the target gateway to improve the processing capability of the target gateway and the at least one cooperative gateway of the target gateway. In addition, since the at least one cooperative gateway of the target gateway is selected by a central gateway, the cooperation relationship between IoT gateways does not need to be configured by network management personnel, which avoids the stiffening problem caused by artificially configuring the cooperation relationship.
