Abstract

A cell broadcast emergency services delivery mechanism for vehicular Internet of Things (IoT) communication is provided. A method can comprise receiving, from a federal emergency management agency device, first data representing federal management emergency event data, aggregating second data representing an emergency event associated with a vehicle with the first data to form third data, based on the emergency event data and the third data, determining a commonality between the first data and the second data, in response to determining the commonality between the first data and the second data, generating metadata, and broadcasting the metadata to the vehicle.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;

determining, as a first function of first data representing an event associated with a device of a group of internet of things devices and as a second function of an aggregation of data, a commonality between the first data and second data received from a management device;

as a third function of location data associated with the device and a defined peripheral boundary, determining a contiguous area that abuts the defined peripheral boundary;

identifying a radio access network device of a group of radio access network devices located within the contiguous area;

based on the commonality identified between the first data and the second data, generating metadata; and

transmitting the metadata to the device and transmitting the metadata to the radio access network device for rebroadcast, in collaboration with the group of radio access devices, to the group of internet of things devices located in the contiguous area.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first data comprises weather data associated with the device and the event.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first data comprises longitude coordinate data associated with the device and latitude coordinate data associated with the device.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the operations further comprise identifying a network device situated in a defined geographical area represented by the longitude coordinate data and the latitude coordinate data.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the operations further comprise determining the defined peripheral boundary that circumscribes the longitude coordinate data and the latitude coordinate data.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the operations further comprise identifying a network device within the defined peripheral boundary.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the first data is received in response to detecting a deceleration associated with the device.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the first data is received in response to detecting deployment of a safety device associated with the device.

9. A method, comprising:

determining, by a system comprising a processor, an existence of a commonality between first data representing an event associated with a device of a grouping of internet of things devices and second data received from a management device;

generating, by the system, metadata as a function of the existence of the commonality;

based on location data associated with the device, and a defined peripheral boundary, determining, by the system, an adjacent area that is contiguous with the defined peripheral boundary;

identifying a grouping of radio access network devices situated in the adjacent area; and

based on weather data, facilitating transmissions of the metadata to the device and to the grouping of radio access network devices, wherein the grouping of radio access network devices collaborates to transmit the metadata to the grouping of internet of things devices situated in the adjacent area.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the first data comprises the weather data associated with the event and the device.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the first data comprises a longitude coordinate associated with the device and a latitude coordinate associated with the device.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate are obtained from a global positioning satellite system device.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising identifying, by the system, a network device located in a defined geographical area as a function of the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising determining, by the system, the defined peripheral boundary that polygonally surrounds the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising identifying, by the system, a network device within the defined peripheral boundary.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the first data is received in response detecting a change in velocity associated with the device.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the first data is received in response detecting a deployment of a safety device associated the device.

18. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

based on event data received from an event server device and data representing an event associated with an device of a collection of internet of things devices, determining a common cross-section between the event data and the data;

in response to the determining the common cross-section, generating metadata comprising at least one of a geographical location, a time, a type of incident that has occurred, or a weather condition currently being encountered by the device;

in response to determining a defined peripheral boundary based on location data associated with the device, determining an area that abuts the defined peripheral boundary; and

broadcasting the metadata to the device and broadcasting the metadata to the area based on the common cross-section between the event data and the data, wherein the metadata to the area is broadcast to a collection of radio access network devices that cooperate to broadcast the metadata to the collection of internet of things devices located in the area.

19. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the operations further comprise initiating a session establishment protocol to establish a session with a network device of network devices associated with a radio access network.

20. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the location data is first location data, and the defined peripheral boundary is a first peripheral boundary, and wherein the operations further comprise, as a function of second location data associated with the network device, determining a second defined peripheral boundary that encloses the network device.
