1. A method, comprising:
- receiving frames of data, wherein each frame includes at least a sensor identifier and a changeable data field and is sent from one of a plurality of sensors, whereby each of the plurality of sensors is associated with a respective one of a plurality of sensor identifiers, and wherein the changeable data field includes, in some of the frames, data representing a sensed condition and, in others of the frames, counter data; and
analyzing the counter data to determine whether any of the sensor identifiers can be associated with one of a plurality of sensor locations.

Abstract
Frames of data are received. Each frame includes at least a sensor identifier and a changeable data field and is sent from one of a plurality of sensors. Each of the plurality of sensors is associated with a respective one of a plurality of sensor identifiers. The changeable data field includes, in some of the frames, data representing a sensed condition and, in others of the frames, counter data. The counter data is analyzed to determine whether any of the sensor identifiers can be associated with one of a plurality of sensor locations.
