A computing environment includes a computing service provider and an edge computing network that has computing and storage devices that extend computing resources of the computing service provider to remote users. An edge platform is configured to execute industry specific PaaS services and industry specific third-party applications. The edge platform communicates with an IoT edge service, inference engine, and IoT edge gateway that performs protocol conversion. The industry edge platform provides a standardized platform for enabling execution of the industry specific PaaS services and industry specific third-party applications.

An apparatus comprising a communication circuit that includes a first section for communication conforming to a first protocol, a second section for communication conforming to a second protocol, a shared circuit shared between the first section and the second section is disclosed, a first control unit configured to control communication conforming to the first protocol, and a second communication control unit configured to control communication conforming to the second protocol. If an abnormality in the communication circuit is determined, the first control unit resets the first section after confirming that communication conforming to the second protocol is not being performed.

A system and method that includes executing communication processes in an application platform, which comprises on behalf of outside entities, negotiating communications between a set of internal resources and at least one external resource using at least a first communication protocol and a second protocol; capturing internal log information during execution of the application platform; receiving a request to access log information by an outside entity; synthesizing the internal log information of the first protocol and at least a second protocol into a unified communication report; and transmitting the unified communication report.

An abnormality detection apparatus for a mobility entity and for detecting an abnormality in a network system is provided. The network system includes a first network and a second network that use different communication protocols. A first communication circuit receives state information indicating a state of the mobility entity. The state information is acquired from the second network. A second communication circuit transmits and receives a first frame according to a communication protocol used in the first network. A memory stores an abnormality detection rule. A processor detects, based on the state information and the abnormality detection rule, whether a control command included in the first frame received by the second communication circuit is abnormal. In a case where the control command is abnormal, the processor prohibits the control command from being transmitted.

A method for interconversion between protocols, including the following steps: pre-establishing a publication/subscription list; when a packet published by a publisher is received, searching the publication/subscription list for a protocol type of the packet; extracting a packet data payload from the packet; determining whether a size of the packet data payload is less than a preset combination threshold; if yes, sending the packet data payload to a packet data payload queue of the publisher, and combining a packet data payload in the packet data payload queue when a size of the packet data payload queue reaches a preset transmission threshold or no new packet is received after a preset waiting duration; searching the publication/subscription list for all subscribers corresponding to the publisher; and performing protocol conversion on the packet one by one based on protocol types used by the corresponding subscribers, and sending protocol-converted packets to the corresponding subscribers.

A method at a connector device, the method including receiving a first message from a peripheral device, the first message being received over a short range communications protocol connection utilizing a generic reading and writing service attribute profile; repackaging data within the first message into a second message at the connector device; and transmitting the second message to a network element, the transmitting utilizing a second communications connection, wherein the repackaging data populates a field within the second message with information about an attribute profile operation.

In modern networks, RRU and BBU equipment of an access point site typically handles traffic from a single sector. An RRU-BBU pair process that traffic (often limited to a single spectrum from a single sector) according to implemented capabilities and other equipment located further upstream perform functions that rely on information from multiple sectors. An integrated device (e.g., white box) can integrate the functionality of multiple RRU (or NR in 5G) and the functionality of multiple BBU (or DU/CU splits in 5G), which can reduce implementation footprint, costs, and can provide related services more efficiently without going upstream.
