An electronic device that generates an electronic-device-specific application is described. During operation, the electronic device may receive a request to create the electronic-device-specific application, where the electronic-device-specific application is associated with a services manager in a system hierarchy. In response to the request, the electronic device may provide instructions for a user interface, wherein the user interface is configured to present predefined configuration alternatives for configuration parameters for the electronic-device-specific application and/or to receive inputs for the configuration parameters for the electronic-device-specific application. Then, the electronic device may receive user-interface activity information, which specifies selections of the configuration parameters for the electronic-device-specific application, where the configuration parameters for the electronic-device-specific application specify functions in a physical layer, a data link layer and a network layer in the electronic-device-specific application. Next, the electronic device may generate, based at least in part on the configuration parameters, the electronic-device-specific application.

User interface for configuring device-specific IOT applications

An interface circuit in an electronic device may communicate using communication protocol in a shared band of frequencies. During operation, the interface circuit may perform a scan of available channels in the shared band of frequencies, and may detect one or more used channels in the shared band of frequencies that are reserved or used by another communication protocol (such as a primary channel that is used by both of the communication protocols). Alternatively, the interface circuit may receive, from another interface circuit in the electronic device, information specifying the one or more used channels in the shared band of frequencies that are reserved or used by the other communication protocol. Next, the interface circuit may mask the one or more used channels from the available channels, and the interface circuit may select one or more channels from the remaining available channels for use with the communication protocol.

Flexible gateway for heterogeneous-device management

In a second group of embodiments, an electronic device that provides a virtual Bluetooth gateway is described. During operation, the electronic device may receive a first packet associated with a second electronic device and that has an Internet Protocol (IP)-compatible format (such as a JavaScript Object Notation or JSON format). Then, the electronic device may de-encapsulate a second packet from the first packet, where the second packet is compatible with a Bluetooth communication protocol. Next, the electronic may provide the second packet. Note that the electronic device may not include a physical Bluetooth radio, such as dedicated hardware for a physical Bluetooth radio. Instead, the electronic device may include a virtual Bluetooth device that communicates with the second electronic device via the virtual Bluetooth gateway. This virtual Bluetooth device may have the capabilities of a physical Bluetooth radio (without the dedicated hardware).

GAP and GATT adaptation protocol over internet protocol

An electronic device that coordinates frequencies of coexisting communication protocols is described. During operation, the electronic device may receive messages with beacon information for a communication protocol, where the beacon information is sourced from one or more gateways and is associated with a second electronic device, and wherein the beacon information in a given message includes a frequency of a given beacon and a given received signal strength of the given beacon. Then, the electronic device may provide, from the interface circuit, an instruction addressed to the second electronic device, where the instruction restricts frequencies of beacons from the second electronic device based at least in part on a band of frequencies associated with a second communication protocol used by at least one of the one or more gateways. For example, the instruction may eliminate beacons having one of the beacon frequencies that overlaps the band of frequencies.

Coordinated and distributed frequency separation during coexisting communication

An electronic device (such as an access point or an eNodeB) that selectively provides prioritized communication is described. During operation, the electronic device may receive one or more packets or frames from a second electronic device using a communication protocol. Then, the electronic device may determine device-specific information based at least in part on a device profile associated with the communication protocol and/or a communication history of the second electronic device. Next, based on the determined device-specific information, the electronic device may assign additional data traffic associated with the second electronic device to a queue in a set of queues, where queues in the set of queues have different priorities, and where the queue provides a predefined latency of communication with the second electronic device corresponding to a priority of the queue.
