  • Distribution of updates in an IoT network
    Patent number: 10693720
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device groups a plurality of devices into update clusters based at least on their connectivity layout, and divides update data into a plurality of update portions, distributing the plurality of update portions to a plurality of selected redistribution devices in the particular cluster (each receiving one or more of the portions). The computing device notifies devices in the particular cluster (that can use the update data) of the plurality of selected redistribution devices along with which particular update portions are available from each of the plurality of selected redistribution devices. This therefore causes (or allows) the devices needing an update to i) download needed update portions of the plurality of update portions from the redistribution devices, ii) combine all of the plurality of update portions into the update data, and iii) perform an update using the combined update data.
