METHODS PROVIDING MEASUREMENT REPORTS INCLUDING AN IDENTIFICATION OF A BASE TIME EVENT AND RELATED SENSORS AND NETWORK NODES

摘要

A sensor device (101) may detect a base time event (B = "b") and provide a measurement value. The sensor device then transmits a measurement report over a network to a network node. The measurement report includes an identification of the base time event, the measurement value and a time offset (x) representing a difference in time between the base time event and a time of the measurement value. The network node may receive the measurement report (including the identification of the base time event, the measurement value and the time offset) from the sensor device over the network. The network node may then determine a time for the measurement value using the identification of the base time event. Related sensor devices, network nodes, and methods are discussed.
