ADAPTIVE ADVERTISEMENT BY HOST DEVICES AND DISCOVERY BY EMBEDDED DEVICES

摘要

The disclosure relates to adaptive advertisements that embedded devices may discover and use to connect to host devices. In particular, host devices may generally transmit multiple advertisements to signal a willingness to host one or more embedded devices, which may selectively process the advertisements to adaptively attach to a particular host device according to properties associated with the host device and/or requirements associated with the embedded devices. Furthermore, the host devices may have overload thresholds that control whether the host devices should be "discoverable" such that the advertisements may be dynamically adjusted (or suspended) according to current load status and connected embedded devices may be redirected to another target host device to shed load when the current load status exceeds the overload threshold.
