Federating mote-associated index data

Abstract

Methods and/or systems relating to mote networks haying one or more indexes.

1 . A method comprising:
 creating one or more administered content indexes for a set of motes;   obtaining at least a part of the one or more administered content indexes of the set of motes; and   creating a federated index from at least the part of the one or more administered content indexes.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said creating the one or more administered content indexes for the set of motes further comprises:
 aggregating at least a part of one or more mote-addressed content indexes from the set of motes.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said aggregating at least a part of one or more mote-addressed content indexes from the set of motes further comprises:
 receiving at least a part of one or more mote-addressed indexes of the set of motes.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said aggregating at least a part of one or more mote-addressed content indexes from the set of motes further comprises:
 creating one or more multi-mote content indexes of the set of motes.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said creating one or more multi-mote content indexes of the set of motes further comprises:
 obtaining a listing of motes appropriate to at least one of the one or more multi-mote content indexes.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said creating one or more multi-mote content indexes of the set of motes further comprises:
 obtaining a listing of motes appropriate to at least one of the one or more multi-mote content indexes from a multi-mote registry.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said creating one or more multi-mote content indexes of the set of motes further comprises:
 obtaining a pre-loaded listing of motes appropriate to at least one of the one or more multi-mote content indexes.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said creating one or more multi-mote content indexes of the set of motes further comprises:
 obtaining a listing of motes appropriate to at least one of the one or more multi-mote content indexes from one or motes to be included in the listing.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said creating one or more multi-mote content indexes of the set of motes further comprises:
 receiving at least a part of at least one of a mote-addressed sensing index or a mote-addressed control index from a reporting entity at a mote of the set of motes.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said creating one or more multi-mote content indexes of the set of motes further comprises:
 receiving at least a part of at least one of a mote-addressed routing/spatial index from a reporting entity at a mote of the set of motes.
