Control plane for sensor communication

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving, via a data plane of a sensor network that communicatively couples sensor devices and the system, a data message from a sensor device of the sensor devices, wherein the data message comprises first data indicative of a measurement of a physical quantity that is measured by the sensor device according to a parameter;
• determining an adjustment to the parameter used to measure the physical quantity;
• and
• transmitting, via a control plane of the sensor network, a control message to the sensor device, wherein the control message comprises second data indicative of an instruction adjust the parameter used to measure the physical quantity in accordance with the determining.

A method, comprising:

• transforming, by a sensor device comprising a processor, a measurement associated with a physical quantity to measurement data, wherein the measurement is according to a parameter used to measure the physical quantity;
• transmitting, by the sensor device, the measurement data via a data plane of a sensor network that communicatively couples sensor devices, wherein one of the sensor devices is the sensor device;
• receiving, by the sensor device, control data via a control plane of the sensor network, wherein the control data is indicative of an instruction to change the parameter used to measure the physical quantity;
• and
• changing, by the sensor device, the parameter used to measure the physical quantity according to the instruction.
