Emulating Increased Sample Frequency in a Wireless Sensor Node and/or a Wireless Sensor Network
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use in a wireless sensor node, comprising:
- a processor configured to receive a sensor reading N times per time unit generated by a sensor and to generate at least one improved estimate and/or an improved time stamp emulating said sensor readings received at least twice said N times per time unit, wherein said N is at least two.

Abstract
Apparatus and processors for wireless sensor nodes are disclosed emulating increasing the sampling frequency of the sensors of the wireless sensor nodes. Apparatus and processors are disclosed using the improved sensor readings to generate vehicle parameters for vehicles passing near one of the nodes, movement estimates and traffic ticket messages, any of which may be sent to other systems. Some of these embodiments may be used with and/or in the wireless sensor nodes and/or with or in an access point for the wireless sensor nodes. Installation devices and/or servers and/or computer readable memories are disclosed for delivering the operational configurations and/or installation packages and/or program systems to the various embodiments of the apparatus and/or processors.

30. An apparatus (800), comprising:
-
a processor (820) configured to respond to sensor reports received from at least two wireless sensor nodes by creating at least one table of sensor estimates for each of said wireless sensor nodes emulating sensor readings being generated by said wireless sensor node N times per time unit, with said N is at least two, and respond to said table of said sensor reading estimates to generate at least one improved estimate and/or an improved time stamp emulating said sensor readings received at least twice said N times per time unit. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
