Abstract
It is provided a method for adjusting a network of sensor devices. The network also comprises an aggregation node for aggregating sensor data from at least two of the sensor devices to processed data and an application node configured to approach an application goal based on the processed data. The method is performed in a network device. The method comprises repeatedly performing the steps of: receiving an evaluation of performance of the application node in relation to the application goal; determining that the evaluation indicates that an adjustment is needed; responsive to determining that an adjustment is needed, determining an operation adjustment of at least one of the aggregation node and the sensor devices; and triggering the adjustment.
Claims22
A method for adjusting a network of sensor devices, the network also comprising an aggregation node for aggregating sensor data from at least two of the sensor devices to processed data and an application node configured to approach an application goal based on the processed data, the method being performed in a network device, the method comprising repeatedly performing the steps of:
- receiving an evaluation of performance of the application node in relation to the application goal;
- determining that the evaluation indicates that an adjustment is needed;
- determining an operation adjustment of at least one of the aggregation node and the sensor devices;
- and
- triggering the adjustment.
(canceled)
A network device for adjusting a network of sensor devices, the network also comprising an aggregation node for aggregating sensor data from at least two of the sensor devices to processed data and an application node configured to approach an application goal based on the processed data, the network device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the network device to repeatedly:
- receive an evaluation of performance of the application node in relation to the application goal;
- determine that the evaluation indicates that an adjustment is needed;
- determine an operation adjustment of at least one of the aggregation node and the sensor devices;
- and
- trigger the adjustment.
A computer program product for adjusting a network of sensor devices, the network also comprising an aggregation node for aggregating sensor data from at least two of the sensor devices to processed data and an application node configured to approach an application goal based on the processed data, the computer program comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program code which, when executed by at least one processor on a network device causes the network device to:
- receive an evaluation of performance of the application node in relation to the application goal;
- determine that the evaluation indicates that an adjustment is needed;
- determine an operation adjustment of at least one of the aggregation node and the sensor devices;
- and
- trigger the adjustment.
