1. A method for shedding signal load in a network having a plurality of devices, said method comprising computer-implemented steps:
- (a) issuing a load-shedding policy by a computer, said policy including;
fraction f of the signal to be discarded;
device D where fraction f of the signal is to be discarded; and
pattern P of discarding fraction f of the signal;
(b) transmitting the issued load-shedding policy from the computer to device D; and
(c) discarding portions of the signal at device D according to pattern P until fraction f of the signal is discarded, device D being at least one of the plurality of devices;
wherein each of the plurality of devices is a data-collecting device or a data-aggregating device, separate from the computer.

Abstract
A method for shedding signal load in a network having a plurality of devices is disclosed herein. The method comprises computer-implemented steps of (a) issuing a load-shedding policy, where the policy includes (i) fraction f of the signal to be discarded; (ii) device D where fraction f of the signal is to be discarded; and (iii) pattern P of discarding fraction f of the signal; (b) transmitting the issued load-shedding policy to device D; and (c) discarding portions of the signal at device D according to pattern P until fraction f of the signal is discarded.

10. In a network formed of a plurality of devices, a computer-implemented method for load-shedding a signal that includes data points, said method comprising:
-
(a) issuing a load-shedding policy by a computer, said policy including; fraction f of the data points to be discarded; device D where fraction f of the signal is to be discarded; and time duration T of the discarded portions of the signal; (b) transmitting the issued load-shedding policy from the computer to device D, device D being at least one of the plurality of devices; and (c) discarding portions of the signal having time duration T at device D until fraction f of the data points is discarded; wherein each of the plurality of devices is a data-collecting device or a data-aggregating device, separate from the computer.

21. A computer system for load-shedding a signal that includes data points in a network that includes a plurality of devices, said system comprising:
-
(a) policy issuing means for issuing a load-shedding policy, said policy defining; fraction f of the data points to be discarded; device D where fraction f of the signal is to be discarded; and time duration T of the discarded portions of the signal; (b) transmitting means for transmitting the issued load-shedding policy to device D, device D being at least one of the plurality of devices; wherein the policy issuing means issues a policy in which portions of the signal having time duration T are discarded at device D until fraction f of the data points is discarded, and wherein each of the plurality of devices is a data-collecting device or a data-aggregating device, separate from the policy issuing means.
