Claim 0:
1. A data processing method comprising:
receiving, from each of a plurality of sensors each located at a respective location, a signal indicative of a respective value of a parameter measured by that sensor at a respective one of a plurality of successive times in a common measurement cycle set to each of the plurality of sensors such that only one signal indicative of the respective value of the parameter is received from the plurality of sensors corresponding to each of the plurality of successive times in the common measurement cycle, each of the plurality of sensors including a battery used to transmit the respective signals; and
determining, by circuitry, based on the value of the parameter measured by one or more first sensors of the plurality of sensors at a respective one or more of the plurality of successive times, a value of the parameter at the location of a second sensor of the plurality of sensors at one of the one or more of the plurality of successive times,
wherein the signal received from each sensor is received over a low-power wide-area network, LPWAN.
