Internet of Things (IOT) Self-organizing Network

A system for implementing Internet of Things (“IoT”) self-organizing network functionality, comprising:

• a plurality of IoT-capable devices comprising at least one first IoT-capable device, at least one second IoT-capable device, and one or more third IoT-capable devices, wherein the plurality of IoT-capable devices form part of a self-organizing network (“SON”) of IoT-capable devices, each of the at least one first IoT-capable device comprising:
• at least one first processor;
• at least one first transceiver;
• and
• a first non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one first processor, the first non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a first set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one first processor, causes the first IoT-capable device to:
• receive beacon data from each of the at least one second IoT-capable device among the plurality of IoT-capable devices;
• autonomously compare the received beacon data with stored beacon data that is stored in a database;
• determine whether the received beacon data differs from the stored beacon data;
• based on a determination that the received beacon data differs from the stored beacon data, autonomously send, via machine-to-machine communication, at least one first data representing the difference between the received beacon data and the stored beacon data to a computing system via the at least one first transceiver;
• the computing system, comprising:
• at least one second processor;
• and
• a second non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one second processor, the second non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a second set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one second processor, causes the computing system to:
• receive the at least one first data from the at least one first IoT-capable device;
• analyze the at least one first data to generate one or more control instructions;
• and
• autonomously send the one or more control instructions to the one or more third IoT-capable devices of the plurality of IoT-capable devices;
• wherein each of the one or more third IoT-capable devices comprises:
• at least one third processor;
• at least one third transceiver;
• and
• a third non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one third processor, the third non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a third set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one third processor, causes the third IoT-capable device to:
• receive the one or more control instructions via the at least one third transceiver;
• and
• change at least one of its device settings, its device configurations, its network configurations, or its functions within the SON of IoT-capable devices, based at least in part on the one or more control instructions.
