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 cluster'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 8):
A method for dynamic virtualized resource allocation, the method comprising:\n a virtualized-resource allocation system accepting, from a virtualized device through a virtualized computer infrastructure, a request to adjust an allocation of resources to the virtualized device, where the virtualized-resource allocation system is implemented as a cloud service managed by a cloud-management platform; the virtualized-resource allocation system determining that the virtualized device's resource request satisfies a condition necessary to trigger sending a service request to the cloud-management platform; the virtualized-resource allocation system, in response to the determining, requesting from the cloud-management platform an adjustment of a current allocation of virtualized resources to the virtualized device; the virtualized-resource allocation system confirming that the requested adjustment has be provisioned by the cloud-management platform; and the virtualized-resource allocation system adjusting the amount of virtualized resources allocated to the virtualized device, as a function of the determining.
