Multi-device monitoring and control using intelligent device channel sharing
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- translating, in response to receipt of a first data packet addressed to a physical network address of one of a plurality of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices from an application server, the physical network address to a shared logical device physical network address that forms a logical device group and that physically addresses each of the plurality of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices over a single wireless communication channel;
embedding the physical network address of the one of the plurality of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices within the first data packet addressed to the shared logical device physical network address; and
sending the first data packet to the shared logical device physical network address;
where;
the single wireless communication channel is part of a wireless cellular network; and
wireless customer-premise monitoring devices within the plurality of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices are configured with each of;
a shared-identity subscriber identity module (SIM) that operates to communicate via the shared logical device physical network address; and
an individual-identity SIM that operates to communicate via the physical network address of the respective one of the plurality of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices.

Abstract
A physical network address of one of a set of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices is translated to a shared logical device physical network address in response to receipt from an application server of a first data packet addressed to the physical network address. The shared logical device physical network address forms a logical device group and physically addresses each of the set of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices over a single wireless communication channel. The physical network address of the one of the set of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices is embedded within the first data packet addressed to the shared logical device physical network address. The first data packet is sent to the shared logical device physical network address.
