1. An Internet of Things (IoT) system, comprising:
a network;
a plurality of IoT servers coupled together and serviced by said network, each of said IoT server comprising a deep reinforcement neural network (DRNN) configured to manage a point to multipoint (P2MP) communication within an IoT environment;
a plurality of IoT agents coupled to receive an action map {ai} from at least one of said DRNN; and
a plurality of IoT devices electrically coupled to said plurality of IoT agents, wherein at least one IoT servers and at least one IoT agent, when coupled to said network, are operable to establish a plug-and-play and point to multipoint (PnP & P2MP) communication in said IoT environment whereby said plurality of IoT devices, said plurality of IoT servers, and said plurality of IoT agents communicate with one another in said plug-and-play and point to multipoint manner in accordance with said action map {ai} derived from a cumulative reward function Rt expressed in an equation:, argmax
