DYNAMIC MOBILE AD HOC INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) GATEWAY

摘要

The disclosure generally relates to a dynamic ad hoc gateway that can be configured to provide inter-network communication among different Internet of Things (IoT) networks (or subnetworks). For example, in various embodiments, connectivity and capability information may be advertised via a personal IoT network from a first potential gateway to a first device and other potential gateways and connectivity and capability information advertised from the other potential gateways may be similarly received at the first potential gateway via the personal IoT network. The connectivity and capability information advertised from the first potential gateway and the other potential gateways may then be evaluated to determine whether the first potential gateway is an elected gateway and a secure private network and an external interface from the secure private network may be established for one or more devices coupled to the elected gateway.
