DYNAMIC THREADING GATEWAY FOR EMBEDDED HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining information on a system comprising a plurality of platforms coupled via a communication link, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying a plurality of paths among the plurality of platforms for obtaining the information;
selecting a desired path of the plurality of paths based on a cost index for the plurality of paths using a processor of a dynamically threaded gateway; and
obtaining the information via the desired path.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for obtaining information via a plurality of platforms communicatively linked together via a communication network. Each of the plurality of platforms comprising a dynamically threaded gateway comprising a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to communicate with other of the plurality of platforms along a communication link. The processor is coupled to the transceiver, and is configured to identify a plurality of paths among the plurality of platforms for obtaining requested information, select a desired path of the plurality of paths based on a cost index for the plurality of paths, and obtain the information via the desired path using the transceiver.
