Claim 17:
18. A sensor apparatus comprising:
a battery;
sensor circuitry configured to, using the battery, periodically measure a value of a parameter of an environment of the sensor apparatus at one of a plurality of successive times in a common measurement cycle set to each of a plurality of sensor apparatuses including the sensor apparatus such that only one value of the parameter is measured by the plurality of sensors at each of the plurality of successive times in the common measurement cycle;
communication circuitry configured to transmit, to a data processing apparatus, signals each indicative of a respective one of the measured parameter values, the signals being periodically transmitted over a low-power wide-area network, LPWAN, during a subset of periodic duty cycle-constrained active time periods of the LPWAN.
