  • Patent number: 10212492
    Abstract: A method and monitoring center (304) for supporting supervision of events in a monitored area (300) based on sensor data (D) reported by sensors over a communication network (302). When the monitoring center (304) detects an abnormal event (E), it identifies a set of sensors (S1-S3) which are potentially impacted by the event, and also identifies network nodes (N1-N3, BS) that are able to communicate sensor data reported by the identified sensors (S1-S3). The monitoring center (304) then instructs (In) the identified network nodes to promote the communication of sensor data reported by the identified sensors. Thereby, transport of the sensor data will be enhanced and it will arrive promptly and properly at the monitoring center, to enable any watching staff to take notice and evaluate the abnormal event as soon as possible.

  • Patent number: 9967779
    Abstract: A method and a network node for obtaining a required latency for transmissions between a wireless device and a controller node are disclosed. The network node receives at least one parameter relating to a context of at least one of the wireless device and the controller node. The parameter is detectable by a set of sensor modules. The network node determines, based on the parameter, the required latency for the transmissions. The context comprises one or more of: a surrounding of the at least one of the wireless device and the controller node; an operational ability of the at least one of the wireless device and the controller node; and a sensitivity of operation of the at least one of the wireless device and the controller node. The surrounding, operational ability and/or the sensitivity is/are detectable by at least one sensor module of the set of sensor modules.

  • Patent number: 9852613
    Abstract: A method and monitoring center for monitoring occurrence of events in a monitored area, where a monitoring equipment displays information that reflects sensor data reported from sensors in the monitored area. When the monitoring center detects an abnormal event, it identifies a set of sensors which are potentially impacted by the event, and triggers the sensors to enter a vigilance state of elevated operation and to deliver enhanced sensor data. Further, a representation of the abnormal event is auto-zoomed on the monitoring equipment based on the enhanced sensor data from the sensors to increase resolution of the displayed representation.

  • Publication number: 20170118620
    Abstract: Methods, a network node and a second device for managing values of a physical quantity are disclosed. The second device is associated with a second receiver device. The network node receives, from the first wireless device, a first value, obtained by a first sensor associated with the first wireless device. The network node receives first and second information about mobility from the first wireless device and the second device, respectively. The network node determines a surrogate value based on at least the first value, when the first information and the second information are within a range for considering the first and second information to be equivalent. The network node sends the surrogate value to the second receiver device.

    Abstract: A method and a network node (130) for obtaining a required latency for transmissions between a wireless device (110) and a controller node (120) are disclosed. The network node (130) receives (202) at least one parameter relating to a context of at least one of the wireless device (110) and the controller node (120). The at least one parameter relating to the context is detectable by a set of sensor modules (111, 121). Furthermore, the network node (130) determines (203), based on the at least one parameter, the required latency for the transmissions. The context comprises one or more of: a surrounding of the at least one of the wireless device (110) and the controller node (120); an operational ability of the at least one of the wireless device (110) and the controller node (120); and a sensitivity of operation of the at least one of the wireless device (110) and the controller node (120).
