A method and a system for providing one or more services to one or more user devices [202] in an IoT network in a scalable M2M (Machine to Machine) framework. The method comprises receiving a connection request from the one or more user devices [202] at a load balance of the IoT network, the connection request comprises at least a username comprising a cluster identifier. The load balancer [204] determines a cluster identifier based on the connection request and identifies at least one target cluster from the one or more clusters [206], said target cluster being associated with the identifier cluster identifier. The load balancer [204] routes the connection request to the at least one target cluster to provide the one or more services to the one or more user devices [202].

Medical device interoperability system, methods, and apparatus are disclosed. In an example, a server has a network map that is indicative of connectivity between access points, network switches, routers, bridges, and a plurality of medical devices that are located within a medical facility. The server receives a query message from a clinician device to identify possible other medical devices of the plurality of medical devices that are located in a same area as a first medical device. The server performs a filter routine to identify which other medical devices of the medical devices are within a close proximity of each other using the network map, displays the identified other medical devices at the clinician device, and receives a selection corresponding to a second medical device. The server then enables the second medical device to transmit medical device data to the first medical device.

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to line-powered wireless communications systems, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for providing persistent and ubiquitous wireless communications and sensor networks in physical premises to enable a wide variety of different applications and use cases.

The present disclosure relates to a process control method executed by a general service entity, a process control method executed by an application entity, and a process control method for the Internet of Things. The process control method executed by a general service entity comprises: receiving a request for creating an advance state resource, the advance state resource being associated with one state resource among a plurality of state resources in a process management resource, and the advance state resource being linked to at least one action resource of the associated state resource; according to the request for creating an advance state resource, creating the advance state resource as a sub-resource of the process management resource; and processing the process management resource, and setting a value of a current state attribute in the process management resource to be an identifier of the state resource associated with the advance state resource.

An Internet-of-Things module is provided, comprising a first interface, via which the module can be coupled to a hybrid single pair Ethernet line for exchanging data and/or commands and for supplying voltage. The module also has a voltage regulator for converting the first voltage applied at the first interface into a second voltage for supplying the module. A controller is also provided for IP-based communication via the hybrid single pair Ethernet line. A second interface is also provided, via which the module can be coupled to a sensor and/or actuator for exchanging data, signals and/or commands and for supplying voltage.
