Abstract
A singular federated Low Power Wide Area Virtual Network (LVN) computing system and method provides a controlling interface between Radio Access Network (RAN) Provider participants and participating Application Provider End-Devices. The system leverages the advantages of each RAN Provider participant. It allows Application Providers to use a variety of RANs, and RAN Providers to offer services to Application Providers without the need for direct relationships. Steps include an End-Device transmitting a message, receiving the End-Device transmission at one or more gateways, determining if the End-Device is a LVN member, if no, discard the transmission message, if yes, test the validity of the received end device transmission message at a network controller, if not valid, discard the transmission message, if valid, weight the message by the receiving gateway's class, fractionalize the message, and attribute value to the RAN provider and the Application Provider.
