Solution:
1:3 site deployment topology, 1x3 reuse factor with 200 kHz per site
The existing RF module should have additional power left for NB CIoT
On the SP portal, users send configuration management commands to the DMS over the
REST interface using HTTS.
The DMS forwards the commands to the device/ gateway using CoAP or HTTPS to
complete configuration management.
Rule Engine
The rule engine enables end users to use predefined rules to customize rules on a user-
friendly user interface (UI).
Rules can be bound with devices, apps, or alarms. When a specific condition is met, the
corresponding action is performed. Using rule engines, abnormal events can be promptly
notified and handled. Rule engines help end users maintain and monitor devices and
ensures fast recovery of system services. Location tracing events or events that occur
when a threshold is reached can be defined as conditions for rule engines and configured
with corresponding actions.
The rule engine enables the IoT connection management platform to issue commands to
the SmartHome and NB-IoT devices.
