Abstract:
A method and associated systems for on-demand Internet of Things bandwidth allocation in response to changing sensor populations. An IOT sensor device adds itself to or deletes itself from a cluster of IOT sensors. A physical IOT controller that manages the cluster detects this change, identifies a resulting change in the duster's bandwidth requirements, and stores this information in a local database. When such a sensor-population change satisfies a triggering condition, the controller requests that a cloud-based application server adjust the controller's bandwidth allocation. The server aggregates this and similar requests from all connected controllers in a global database, and when controller bandwidth requirements satisfy a second triggering condition, the server, using a standard API, asks the cloud-management platform to reprovision the server's virtual bandwidth allocation. The server then distributes the adjusted bandwidth among its IOT controllers, which in turn allocate their adjusted bandwidths among their sensor devices.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer program product, comprising a computer-readable hardware storage device having a computer-readable program code stored therein, the program code configured to be executed by an IOT resource-allocation system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer-readable hardware storage device coupled to the processor, the storage device containing program code configured to be run by the processor via the memory to implement a method for cloud-based dynamic IOT resource allocation, the method comprising:\n the IOT resource-allocation system accepting, from an IOT device through an IOT network, a request to adjust an allocation of resources to the IOT device, where the IOT resource-allocation system is implemented as a cloud service managed by a cloud-management platform; the IOT resource-allocation system determining that the IOT device's resource request satisfies a condition necessary to trigger sending a service request to the cloud-management platform; the IOT resource-allocation system, in response to the determining, requesting from the cloud-management platform an adjustment of a current allocation of cloud resources to the IOT device; the IOT resource-allocation system confirming that the requested adjustment has be provisioned by the cloud-management platform; and the IOT resource-allocation system adjusting the amount of cloud resources allocated to the IOT device, as a function of the determining.
