Abstract
A method for managing communication in a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) networks includes receiving a communication request initiated by an IoT device in one of the plurality of IoT networks for a destination IoT device located in one of the plurality of IoT networks. Suitability of an existing communication session between the IoT device and the destination IoT device is determined. Based on determining unsuitability of the existing communication session, a new communication session between the IoT device and the destination IoT device is selectively initiated. In response to determining suitability of the existing communication session, the existing communication session for the communication request is selectively reused. At least one initiating cause for a communication event and associated resolutions on occurrence of the communication event to maintain one of the new communication session and the existing communication session that is suitable is iteratively determined.
