IoT DEVICES WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTIVITY POLICY MANAGEMENT

A network device, comprising:

• a communication interface configured to connect to a wired network or to a wireless network and to receive parameters associated with a usage profile of at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device, wherein the usage profile specifies a data usage pattern associated with the at least one IoT device transmitting or receiving data via a wireless network;
• and
• a processing unit, or logic, coupled to the communication interface, and configured to:
• generate a device behavior profile based on the parameters associated with the usage profile, and
• cause the device behavior profile and an application to be sent to the at least one IoT device, wherein the application controls the at least one IoT device's transmission or reception via the wireless network using the device behavior profile.

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable by a processing unit associated with a network device, wherein the instructions comprise instructions to cause the processing unit to:

• receive parameters associated with a usage profile of at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device, wherein the usage profile specifies a data usage pattern associated with the at least one IoT device transmitting or receiving data via a wireless network;
• generate a device behavior profile based on the parameters associated with the usage profile;
• and
• cause the device behavior profile and an application to be sent to the at least one IoT device, wherein the application controls the at least one IoT device's transmission or reception via the wireless network using the device behavior profile.
