Abstract
A network system includes a cloud server, and a gateway host coupled to the cloud server. The gateway host includes an application server to execute an application. The network system includes a plurality of end devices. Each end device is configured to wirelessly send and receive communication signals to and from the gateway host. The gateway host is configured to receive sensed data from the plurality of end devices, process the received sensed data with the application, and communicate results of the processing to the cloud server.
Claims20
A network system, comprising:
- a cloud server;
- a gateway host coupled to the cloud server, wherein the gateway host includes an application server to execute an application;
- a plurality of end devices, wherein each end device is configured to wirelessly send and receive communication signals to and from the gateway host;
- and
- wherein the gateway host is configured to receive sensed data from the plurality of end devices, process the received sensed data with the application, and communicate results of the processing to the cloud server.
A method, comprising:
- wirelessly receiving, with a gateway host of a network system, sensed data from a plurality of end devices;
- executing, by an application server of the gateway host, an application to process the received sensed data and generate processing results;
- and
- communicating the processing results from the gateway host to a cloud server.
A low power wide area network (LPWAN) system, comprising:
- a plurality of gateway hosts configured to be coupled to a cloud server, wherein each of the gateway hosts includes an application server to execute a plurality of applications;
- a plurality of end devices, wherein each of the end devices is associated with one of the gateway hosts and one of the applications of that gateway host, and wherein each of the end devices is configured to wirelessly send and receive communication signals to and from its associated gateway host, including sending sensed data to its associated gateway host;
- and
- wherein each gateway host is configured to process sensed data received from the end devices associated with that gateway host using the applications respectively associated with those end devices, and communicate results of the processing to the cloud server.
