Abstract

A cellular base station connected to a communication network is adapted to provide communication services to a plurality of mobile devices. A server connected to the communication network includes a first publish-subscribe broker communications facility as part of a publish-subscribe broker network including one or more publish-subscribe broker communications facilities. The publish-subscribe broker network is operable to distribute published data packets between entities that have published data packets and entities that have subscribed to receive the published data packets via the publish-subscribe broker network. A second entity connected to any of the publish-subscribe broker communications facilities in the publish-subscribe broker network accepts communications from the mobile device if the second entity subscribes to data published by the mobile device through the publish-subscribe broker communications facility to which the second entity is connected.

Claims (28)

1. A system comprising:

a cellular base transceiver station having an RF coverage area and configured for RF communication with a first entity that is a mobile transceiver device in the RF coverage area, wherein the cellular base transceiver station is communicatively connected to a server through a communication network, wherein the server is adapted to provide packet distribution services for the mobile transceiver device via the cellular base transceiver station,

wherein the server comprises a first publish-subscribe broker that is part of a publish-subscribe broker network that comprises one or more publish-subscribe brokers, wherein the publish-subscribe broker network is operable to distribute published data packets between entities that have published data packets and entities that have subscribed to receive the published data packets via the publish-subscribe broker network; and

a second entity connected to any of the one or more publish-subscribe brokers in the publish-subscribe broker network, wherein the second entity accepts communications from the mobile transceiver device if the second entity subscribes to data packets published by the mobile transceiver device, and wherein the data packets published by the mobile transceiver device are routed through the publish-subscribe broker to which the second entity is connected.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cellular base transceiver station is in an LTE wireless network or a 3G wireless network.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server is associated with a wireless communication network.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the wireless communication network is one of an LTE wireless network and a 3G wireless network.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more publish-subscribe brokers is located in a public network.

6. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the second entity comprises a mobile entity.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second entity is at least one of a computer-based user communication device, a mobile transceiver device, a sensor-based communication device, and an application.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of sensor devices with associated sensor data in communication with the publish-subscribe broker network, and wherein the publish-subscribe broker network enables collection and distribution of sensor data among a plurality of entities that provide and receive data related to functions performed by the plurality of sensor devices.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein redirected LTE bearers are used to connect a sensor device having associated sensor data to a publish-subscribe broker of the publish-subscribe broker network.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the publish-subscribe broker network allows a single stream of data to be delivered to each of a plurality of communicating entities that subscribes to the sensor data.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of communicating entities is able to use a single connection to a respective publish-subscribe broker to communicate a plurality of data streams with one or more applications and other sensor devices.

12. A system comprising:

a cellular base transceiver station having an RF coverage area and configured for RF communication with a first entity that is a mobile transceiver device in the RF coverage area, wherein the cellular base transceiver station is communicatively connected to a server through a communication network, wherein the server is adapted to provide packet distribution services for the mobile transceiver device via the cellular base transceiver station,

wherein the server comprises a first publish-subscribe broker that is part of a publish-subscribe broker network that comprises one or more publish-subscribe brokers, wherein the publish-subscribe broker network is operable to distribute published data packets between entities that have published data packets and entities that have subscribed to receive the published data packets via the publish-subscribe broker network; and

a second entity connected to any of the one or more publish-subscribe brokers in the publish-subscribe broker network, wherein the mobile transceiver device accepts communications from the second entity if the mobile transceiver device subscribes to data packets published by the second entity, and wherein the data packets published by the second entity are routed through the publish-subscribe broker to which the mobile transceiver device is connected.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the cellular base transceiver station is in an LTE wireless network or a 3G wireless network.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the server is associated with a wireless communication network.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the wireless communication network is one of an LTE wireless network and a 3G wireless network.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the one or more publish-subscribe brokers is located in a public network.

17. The system of claim 12 , further wherein the second entity comprises a mobile entity.

18. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second entity is at least one of a computer-based user communication device, a mobile transceiver device, a sensor-based communication device, and an application.

19. The system of claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of sensor devices with associated sensor data in communication with the publish-subscribe broker network, and wherein the publish-subscribe broker network enables collection and distribution of sensor data among a plurality of entities that provide and receive data related to functions performed by the plurality of sensor devices.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein redirected LTE bearers are used to connect a sensor device with associated sensor data to a publish-subscribe broker of the publish-subscribe broker network.

21. The system of claim 19 , wherein the publish-subscribe broker network allows a single stream of data to be delivered to each of a plurality of communicating entities that subscribes to the sensor data.

22. The system of claim 21 , wherein each of the plurality of communicating entities is able to use a single connection to a respective publish-subscribe broker to communicate a plurality of data streams with one or more applications and other sensor devices.
