Abstract
Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for supporting a dynamically configurable communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things).
Claims20
A communication network node comprising:
- at least one module comprising a processing circuit and a memory and being operable to, at least:
- transmit a first beacon message in accordance with a defined beaconing strategy, wherein the defined beaconing strategy comprises transmitting beacon messages at a first rate;
- receive context information comprising:
- information identifying physical context, and information identifying communication condition context;
- analyze the received context information;
- redefine the beaconing strategy, based at least in part on the analyzed received context information, wherein the redefined beaconing strategy comprises transmitting beacon messages at a second rate different from the first rate;
- and
- transmit a second beacon message in accordance with the redefined beaconing strategy,
- wherein the at least one module is operable to:
- receive the information identifying physical context from a module on-board the node;
- and
- receive the information identifying communication condition context from another network node.
