Abstract
A system and method for reducing wireless traffic among a plurality of IoT devices and an access point is disclosed. The method and system may establish communication among a plurality of Internet of Things (IOT) devices and establish a set of similar IoT devices from among the plurality of IoT devices. One of the similar IoT devices may be designated as a managing IoT device and the remaining IoT devices in set of similar IoT devices may be designated as controlled IoT devices. Wireless traffic from the access point may be transmitted through the managing IoT device to controlled IoT devices. Wireless traffic from the controlled IoT devices may be transmitted to the access point through the managing IoT device. Thus, wireless traffic between the access point and controlled IoT devices is reduced.
