Patent ID: 11190409

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for resource optimization in Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks are presented. For instance, the disclosure presents an example method executed by a network node (106) in an IoT system (100). In some embodiments, the example method includes predicting (202) a likelihood that a future event will be detected by one or more IoT devices (102) in the IoT system (100) under different potential resource allocation and IoT device settings. The predicting (202) is conducted subject to resource availability constraints in some examples. In addition, the example method includes, based on the predicting (202), adapting (204) at least one of resource allocation and IoT device settings in the IoT system (100) for the future time. This adapting (204) is conducted such that the likelihood that the future event will be detected is maximized under the resource availability constraints according to a target optimization function.
