Method for collecting data in a network, sensor, consumption meter, temporary receiver and network

A consumption meter, comprising:

• a sensor containing at least one measuring element providing raw measurement data corresponding to at least one physical or physicochemical value or at least one physical or physicochemical parameter;
• a memory;
• the consumption meter collecting the raw measurement data relating to a distribution of a consumable good in a network having the consumption meter, said consumption meter programmed to:
• determine in advance, for a determination of a measurement resolution of said sensor, conditions for generating time stampings using a correlation model, wherein each time stamping corresponds to an elementary quantity of the consumable good;
• generate, on a basis of the correlation model, the time stampings of successive raw measurement data in said sensor;
• store the time stampings in said memory;
• transmit a number of the time stampings as a data packet without the raw measurement data corresponding to the time stampings of the data packet over a radio link so that on a basis of the time stampings using the correlation model, the raw measurement data collected by the at least one measuring element are reconstructed and evaluated, whereas the raw measurement data are used for on-demand network analysis;
• determine that a specified amount of time stampings has been achieved since a previous transmission;
• and
• carry out a new data transmission in a form of a message or a telegram in response to determining that the specified amount of time stampings has been achieved since the previous transmission.

A network, comprising:

• a consumption meter, containing:
• a sensor containing at least one measuring element providing raw measurement data corresponding to at least one physical or physicochemical value or at least one physical or physicochemical parameter;
• a memory;
• said consumption meter collecting data relating to a distribution of a consumable good in the network, said consumption meter programmed to:
