IPC Code(s): H04W28/02, H04W28/08
Abstract: a sensor with a dynamic data range. the sensor generates sensor values at consecutive time points. the sensor is configured in such a way that the data range is subjected, after each time point, to a treatment corresponding to one of the following treatment options performed as a function of the generated sensor values, wherein the treatment options include:—increasing the data range if n of the generated sensor values are outside the data range during a first time window,—decreasing the data range if m of the generated sensor values are within the data range during a second time window, and—otherwise leaving the data range unchanged. a method for automatically adjusting a data range of such a sensor is also described.
