Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 13:
14. A heavy-leaf node (HLN) for a system including a plurality of light-leaf nodes (LLNs) and one or more other HLNs in communication with each other by a mesh topology to provide software-defined sensing within the system, the HLN comprising:
communication hardware to communicate with each other HLN and with each LLN;
a transmitter to receive distilled raw data from one or more of the LLNs;
a processor to perform processing of the raw data from the hardware sensor and is configured to:
perform decisional or reasoning processing on the distilled raw data to generate an action; and

transmit instructions for performing the action to the LLN from which the distilled raw data was received;
wherein the HLN is communicatively connected to one or more backend nodes (BENs), each BEN acting as a communication gateway by which the system is interacted with externally, such that the HLN is externally accessible through the one or more BENs.
