Patent attributes
In embodiments of the present disclosure improved capabilities are described for a system having a host computer connected to a communication network, wherein the communication network includes a publish-subscribe broker network adapted to provide publish-subscribe broker services to a sensor device in RF communication with a wireless RF access node, wherein the wireless RF access node is connected to the communication network and enables the sensor device to connect to the publish-subscribe broker network. The publish-subscribe broker network is adapted to route packets of sensor data, on behalf of the sensor device that publishes the sensor data, to a sensor-processing application, wherein the sensor processing application subscribes to the sensor data, and wherein the sensor processing application generates application data that is at least in part sensor data from the sensor device. The publish-subscribe broker network is adapted to route packets of application data, on behalf of the sensor processing application that publishes the application data, to a communicating entity that is connected to the communication network if the communicating entity subscribes to the application data.
