  • Patent number: 10530864
    Abstract: Systems and methods for load balancing Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateways. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive metadata including attributes of IoT devices communicatively coupled to the IHS, wherein the attributes are collected by the IoT devices at least in part during a time interval leading up to the IHS entering an undesired state; perform feature extraction upon the metadata; identify correlations between extracted features and the undesired state; and perform load balancing based upon the correlations.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10425449
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateways using principal component analysis are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may be configured to: receive metadata from a plurality of IoT gateways in an IoT network, where the metadata describes hardware attributes of a given IoT gateway and hardware attributes of one or more IoT devices coupled the given IoT gateway, perform principal component analysis upon the metadata by performing an eigenvalue decomposition or a singular value decomposition of a matrix including the metadata, and classify the given IoT gateway based, at least in part, upon the principal component analysis.

In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive metadata from a plurality of IoT gateways in an IoT network, wherein the metadata from each given IoT gateway describes hardware attributes of that given IoT gateway and hardware attributes of one or more IoT devices coupled that given IoT gateway; perform principal component analysis upon the metadata; and classify each of the plurality of IoT gateways based, at least in part, upon the principal component analysis.
