Abstract
Described herein are techniques for providing a user device with a virtualized peering emulation service using an internet protocol (IP) connection between a sensor gateway (gateway) and a remote virtualized peering emulation service device (emulation device). The gateway receives wireless signals (e.g., Bluetooth, ZigBee, Z-Wave, and/or the like) from the user device. The gateway generates a data packet comprising data indicative of the wireless signals received from the user device and sends the data packet to the emulation device through the IP connection. The gateway receives network traffic through the IP connection from the emulation device, the network traffic comprising data indicative of wireless signals from a remote user device. The gateway transmits the wireless signals from the remote user device, such that the user device can locally receive the wireless signals from the remote user device, thereby providing a virtualized peering emulation service to the user device.
