Collaborative transmission management for smart devices

At least one non-transitory computer storage medium to store computer code comprising:

• computer code to determine whether a first device priority associated with a first smart device is greater than a second device priority associated with a second smart device;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the first device priority is greater than the second device priority:
• computer code to send first data associated with the first smart device from the first smart device to a primary communication device;
• and
• computer code to send a first message from the first smart device, the first message including a first indication that the second smart device is to transmit second data associated with the second smart device to the primary communication device, wherein the first indication includes a time at which the second smart device is to transmit the second data to the primary communication device;
• wherein, the second smart device is configured to:
• send the second data to the primary communication device responsive to receiving the first message;
• determine whether the second device priority associated with the second smart device is greater than a third device priority associated with a third smart device;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the first device priority is greater than the second device priority, send a second message from the second smart device to the third smart device, the second message including a second indication that the third smart device is to transmit third data associated with the third smart device to the primary communication device.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• determining whether a first device priority associated with a first smart device is greater than a second device priority associated with a second smart device;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the first device priority is greater than the second device priority:
• sending first data associated with the first smart device from the first smart device to a primary communication device;
• sending a first message from the first smart device, the first message including a first indication that the second smart device is to transmit second data associated with the second smart device to the primary communication device, wherein the first indication includes a time at which the second smart device is to transmit the second data to the primary communication device;
• sending, by the second smart device, the second data to the primary communication device responsive to receiving the first message;
• determining, by the second smart device, whether the second device priority associated with the second smart device is greater than a third device priority associated with a third smart device;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the first device priority is greater than the second device priority, sending, by the second smart device, a second message from the second smart device to the third smart device, the second message including a second indication that the third smart device is to transmit third data associated with the third smart device to the primary communication device.
