Description

用于改善数据收集器与多个自主测量单元之间的传输质量的 方法以及通信系统Method and communication system for improving transmission quality between a data collector and a plurality of autonomous measurement units

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及一种用于改善数据收集器与多个自主测量单元之间的传输质量的方法以及一种相应的通信系统。根据本发明的方法和通信系统尤其是适合用于通过消耗测量仪器来检测热量或者说能量、电、气体或水的消耗。The present invention relates to a method for improving the transmission quality between a data collector and a plurality of autonomous measuring units, and a corresponding communication system. The method and the communication system according to the invention are particularly suitable for detecting the consumption of heat or energy, electricity, gas or water using consumption measuring instruments.

背景技术Background Art

智能消耗测量仪器(也称为智能计量表)是连接到供应网络中的消耗测量仪器、例如用于热量或者说能量、电、气体和水的消耗测量仪器,所述消耗测量仪器向相应的连接用户显示实际消耗并且连接到通信网络中。智能消耗测量仪器具有如下优点:免除手动读取仪表读数并且从供应商方面根据实际消耗进行更快速的计费。通过更快速的读取间隔又可更准确地将最终客户收费表与交易所电价的发展联系起来。也可以显著更好地充分利用供应网络。Smart consumption meters (also known as smart meters) are consumption meters connected to the supply network, for example, for heat or energy, electricity, gas, and water. These meters display actual consumption to the respective connected user and are connected to the communication network. Smart consumption meters offer the following advantages: they eliminate the need for manual meter readings and allow for faster billing from suppliers based on actual consumption. Faster reading intervals, in turn, allow for more accurate linking of end-customer tariffs with the evolution of exchange-traded electricity prices. This also significantly improves the utilization of the supply network.

智能消耗测量仪器通常配置给住宅单元或住宅。可以以各种方式读取那里出现的测量数据。例如可通过电网(电力线)读取测量数据。然而在此不可以将消耗测量仪器连接到超本地网络中。此外,可通过移动无线电技术以数据包或电报的形式传输测量数据。然而这十分昂贵,需要在消耗测量仪器上安装移动无线电模块并且具有在各个消耗测量仪器的高电流消耗方面的缺点。此外,以数据包或电报形式的测量数据也可通过无线电、例如在ISM(工业、科学、医学)频带范围中或在SRD(短程设备)频带范围中传输。这些频率范围的优点在于运营商仅需要频率管理的一般授权。然而问题是,由于各种技术设备、如车库门控制装置、婴儿电话(Babyphones)、警报系统、WLAN、蓝牙、烟雾警告探测器等频繁使用这样的频率范围,经常会出现干扰。由位置固定或移动的数据收集器(集中器)通过无线电收集测量数据,在消耗测量仪器的发射器中提供的测量数据被传输到所述数据收集器。Smart consumption metering instruments are typically assigned to residential units or homes. The measurement data generated there can be read in various ways. For example, the measurement data can be read via the power grid (power lines). However, the consumption metering instruments cannot be connected to a hyperlocal network. Alternatively, the measurement data can be transmitted in the form of data packets or telegrams using mobile radio technology. However, this is very expensive, requiring the installation of a mobile radio module on the consumption metering instrument and has the disadvantage of high current consumption of each consumption metering instrument. Furthermore, the measurement data in the form of data packets or telegrams can also be transmitted by radio, for example in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) frequency band or in the SRD (Short Range Device) frequency band. The advantage of these frequency ranges is that operators only need general authorization from frequency management. However, the problem is that interference often occurs due to the frequent use of various technical devices such as garage door controls, baby phones, alarm systems, WLAN, Bluetooth, smoke detectors, etc. in these frequency ranges. The measurement data is collected by radio by a fixed or mobile data collector (concentrator), to which the measurement data provided by the transmitter of the consumption metering instrument is transmitted.

出于法律原因,允许将由消耗测量仪器的发射器仅在特定的、非常短的规定时段(规定时间或者说包括时间偏差的规定时间点)传输到数据收集器的测量数据用于消耗评估。在这些非常短的规定时间段中,所有消耗测量仪器的发射器将其数据包传输到数据收集器的接收器。在规定时间段之外接收的数据包则被丢弃。在此一定常常发生在规定时间段内不同消耗测量仪器的发射器的测量数据的传输彼此干扰的情况。建筑物特定的特征常常也会导致从消耗测量仪器到数据收集器的测量数据传输受到干扰。所有这些因素导致数据包在相关信道中的通过概率仅一般。For legal reasons, the measurement data transmitted by the transmitters of the consumption measuring instruments to the data collector for consumption evaluation may only be used during specific, very short, prescribed time periods (prescribed times or prescribed time points including time deviations). During these very short, prescribed time periods, the transmitters of all consumption measuring instruments transmit their data packets to the receiver of the data collector. Data packets received outside the prescribed time periods are discarded. It often happens that the transmission of measurement data by the transmitters of different consumption measuring instruments interferes with each other within the prescribed time periods. Specific building characteristics often also lead to interference in the transmission of measurement data from the consumption measuring instruments to the data collector. All these factors result in only a moderate probability of data packets passing through the relevant channels.

另一困难在于,具有在数据收集器与消耗测量仪器之间的双向无线电传输的通信系统需要在位于消耗测量仪器区域中的通信模块与数据收集器的通信模块之间的非常精确的时间同步。恰好在通信模块区域中自主消耗测量仪器使用电流消耗低的简单石英作为频率参考装置。这样的石英基于制造公差、温度特性和老化而具有10至100ppm的石英误差。例如在标准石英中50ppm的石英误差导致每天4.3秒或每年26分钟的偏差。这又导致时间同步的偏差增大,因此接收特性越来越恶化。Another challenge is that a communication system with two-way radio transmission between the data collector and the consumption meter requires extremely precise time synchronization between the communication module located in the consumption meter area and the communication module of the data collector. Autonomous consumption metering instruments in the communication module area often use simple, low-current quartz crystals as frequency references. Such quartz crystals have a quartz error of 10 to 100 ppm due to manufacturing tolerances, temperature characteristics, and aging. For example, a quartz error of 50 ppm in standard quartz results in a deviation of 4.3 seconds per day, or 26 minutes per year. This, in turn, leads to increased deviations in time synchronization, resulting in increasingly degraded reception performance.

上述任务通过根据本发明的方法和通过根据本发明的通信系统解决。The aforementioned object is achieved by the method according to the invention and by the communication system according to the invention.

本发明涉及一种用于在通信系统中改善在数据收集器与多个测量单元之间的传输质量的方法,该通信系统具有无线电传输,该通信系统包括:The invention relates to a method for improving the transmission quality between a data collector and a plurality of measuring units in a communication system having radio transmission, the communication system comprising:

第一通信模块,其中,第一通信模块配置给数据收集器;a first communication module, wherein the first communication module is configured to the data collector;

两个或更多个第二通信模块,其中,第二通信模块分别配置给一个测量单元;two or more second communication modules, wherein each second communication module is assigned to a measurement unit;

其中,第二通信模块设置用于借助无线电信号向第一通信模块发送数据,The second communication module is configured to send data to the first communication module via a radio signal.

其中,第一通信模块设置用于接收来自第二通信模块的数据,The first communication module is configured to receive data from the second communication module.

其中,第一通信模块包括第一频率参考装置,Wherein, the first communication module includes a first frequency reference device,

其中,第二通信模块包括第二频率参考装置,Wherein, the second communication module includes a second frequency reference device,

其中,分别由第二通信模块在数据传输范围内传输给第一通信模块的无线电信号与第二频率参考装置有关,其中,The radio signals transmitted by the second communication module to the first communication module within the data transmission range are related to the second frequency reference device, wherein:

通过第一通信模块测量由相应的第二通信模块发送的且由第一通信模块接收的无线电信号的选自以下参数组的至少一个参数:At least one parameter selected from the following parameter group is measured by the first communication module of a radio signal transmitted by the corresponding second communication module and received by the first communication module:

带宽,bandwidth,

数据速率,Data rate,

数据速率偏差,Data rate deviation,

数据包中的温度,The temperature in the data packet,

由第二频率参考装置得出的频率差Δ频率,the frequency difference Δfrequency derived from the second frequency reference device,

调制指数和/或Modulation index and/or

接收时间;Time of receipt;

基于参数测量值或由所述参数测量值得出的值来估算第二频率参考装置的误差,并且estimating an error of the second frequency reference device based on the parameter measurement or a value derived from said parameter measurement, and

调整第一频率参考装置的频率和/或第一通信模块中的选自以下组的至少一个参数:数据速率、数据速率偏差、调制指数和频率偏移,使得减小或消除第二频率参考装置的误差或与此有关的参数误差,adjusting the frequency of the first frequency reference device and/or at least one parameter in the first communication module selected from the group consisting of: data rate, data rate deviation, modulation index, and frequency offset, so as to reduce or eliminate an error in the second frequency reference device or a parameter error related thereto,

其特征在于,在第一通信模块中减少或消除由第一通信模块接收的无线电信号的误差并且将相应地校正的无线电信号发送回第二通信模块。It is characterized in that in the first communication module, errors in the radio signal received by the first communication module are reduced or eliminated and a correspondingly corrected radio signal is sent back to the second communication module.

通过测量至少一个或多个选自以下参数组的参数:带宽和/或数据速率和/或数据速率偏差(或数据率误差或采样偏差)和/或数据包中的温度和/或由第二频率参考装置得出的Δ频率和/或调制指数和/或接收时间并且随后基于确定的参数值的估算来得出第二通信模块的第二频率装置的误差(石英误差),可省去频率测量连同为此所需的硬件。可以以简单的方式在计算近似模型中通过软件技术来估算误差。这在第一通信模块、即数据收集器的区域中是特别有利的,因为在那里与配置给测量单元或消耗测量仪器的相应的第二通信模块相比可提供提高的运算能力。适宜的是,在此可在估算石英误差的范围中设置事先程序,在其中检查通过估算所确定的石英误差是否具有这样的质量,使得它影响到、即限制无线电信号的传输质量。据此可调整第一频率参考装置的频率和/或第一通信模块中的至少一个选自以下组的参数:数据速率、数据速率偏差、调制指数和频率偏移,使得减小或消除确定的参数偏差并且因此减小或消除第二频率参考装置的误差。这能实现使第一通信模块可调整与第二通信模块的通信并且因此优化第一与第二通信模块之间且因此测量单元与数据收集器之间的传输质量。因此又增加了在上述运行情况中正确接收数据包的概率。By measuring at least one or more parameters selected from the following parameter group: bandwidth and/or data rate and/or data rate deviation (or data rate error or sampling deviation) and/or temperature in the data packet and/or delta frequency determined by a second frequency reference device and/or modulation index and/or reception time, and then determining the error (quartz error) of the second frequency device of the second communication module based on an estimation of the determined parameter values, frequency measurement and the hardware required for this purpose can be eliminated. The error can be estimated simply using software in a computational approximation model. This is particularly advantageous in the area of the first communication module, i.e., the data collector, because increased computing power is available there compared to a corresponding second communication module assigned to a measuring unit or consumer measuring instrument. Preferably, a pre-programmed procedure can be provided within the context of estimating the quartz error, in which the quartz error determined by the estimation is checked to determine whether it is of such a quality that it affects, i.e., limits, the transmission quality of the radio signal. Accordingly, the frequency of the first frequency reference device and/or at least one parameter in the first communication module selected from the group: data rate, data rate deviation, modulation index, and frequency offset can be adjusted to reduce or eliminate the determined parameter deviation and, therefore, the error of the second frequency reference device. This enables the first communication module to adjust its communication with the second communication module and thus optimize the transmission quality between the first and second communication modules and thus between the measuring unit and the data collector, thereby further increasing the probability of correctly receiving data packets in the above-mentioned operating situation.

根据本发明的一种有利实施方式,测量接收的无线电信号的带宽并由此确定数据速率误差或者说数据速率偏差。基于如此确定的数据速率偏差又确定第二频率参考装置的误差。带宽在此用作数据速率偏差的度量。According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the bandwidth of the received radio signal is measured and the data rate error or data rate deviation is determined therefrom. Based on the data rate deviation thus determined, the error of the second frequency reference device is determined. The bandwidth is used as a measure of the data rate deviation.

替代地或附加地,可测量接收的无线电信号的相位偏移并由此确定频率偏移。利用频率偏移又能够确定第二频率参考装置的误差。Alternatively or additionally, a phase shift of the received radio signal can be measured and the frequency shift determined therefrom. The frequency shift can in turn be used to determine an error in the second frequency reference device.

通过频率偏移也可借助接收的无线电信号的调制指数一同确定数据速率和石英误差。The frequency offset also allows the data rate and the quartz error to be determined together with the modulation index of the received radio signal.

也可直接确定或测量参数数据速率偏差、频率偏移和接收时间并借助测量结果估算石英误差。The parameters data rate deviation, frequency offset and reception time can also be determined or measured directly and the quartz error can be estimated using the measurement results.

为了进行频率校正,在查找表中预先确定一个或多个相关的参数的校正预设值(寄存器设置)以用于选择特定参数。根据第二频率参考装置的误差的计算确定,从校正预设值的预先确定的集合中选择具体的校正预设值。据此调整石英误差或调整第一频率参考装置。To perform frequency correction, one or more relevant parameter calibration presets (register settings) are predefined in a lookup table to select a specific parameter. Based on the calculated error of the second frequency reference device, a specific calibration preset is selected from a predetermined set of calibration presets. This is used to adjust the quartz error or the first frequency reference device accordingly.

优选顺序地处理相应的第二通信模块(即相应的测量单元或消耗测量仪器)。各个测量单元的频率数据因此无需存储在数据库中。The corresponding second communication modules (ie the corresponding measuring units or consumer measuring devices) are preferably processed sequentially. The frequency data of the individual measuring units therefore do not need to be stored in a database.

替代地或附加地,也可根据所确定的参数直接调整第一频率装置的硬件。这例如可以通过调整第一通信模块的硬件(例如通过向电容二极管施加电压)来完成。Alternatively or additionally, the hardware of the first frequency device may also be directly adjusted according to the determined parameters. This may be accomplished, for example, by adjusting the hardware of the first communication module (eg, by applying a voltage to a capacitor diode).

通过在第一通信模块中减少或消除由第一通信模块接收的无线电信号的误差并且将相应的校正的无线电信号发送回第二通信模块,可优化在相应的消耗测量仪器与数据收集器之间的双向通信。By reducing or eliminating errors in the radio signal received by the first communication module and sending a corresponding corrected radio signal back to the second communication module, bidirectional communication between the respective consumption meter and the data collector can be optimized.

通过确定和调整作为无线电参数的调制指数,避免了调制指数误差在相应数据包的长度上的连续增大。由此得到如下优点:基于调制指数或调制指数误差的调整,数据包长度可比以前更大。这又允许一同传输附加的数据、如用于良好加密的安全数据或加密数据。这特别是在所谓的FSK或MSK调制的情况下特别有利。By determining and adjusting the modulation index as a radio parameter, a continuous increase in the modulation index error over the length of the corresponding data packet is avoided. This results in the following advantage: due to the adjustment of the modulation index or the modulation index error, the data packet length can be larger than before. This in turn allows the co-transmission of additional data, such as security data or encrypted data for improved encryption. This is particularly advantageous in the case of so-called FSK or MSK modulation.

适宜的是,在接收数据包时可这样调整数据收集器上的接收频率,使得信号位于接收窗口的中间。此外,测量单元可利用调整对数据收集器作出反应。由此确保该过程顺序地、即从测量单元到测量单元地被处理完。When receiving a data packet, the receiving frequency at the data collector can be adjusted so that the signal is in the middle of the receiving window. Furthermore, the measuring unit can react to the data collector with this adjustment. This ensures that the process is handled sequentially, i.e., from measuring unit to measuring unit.

此外,第二通信模块可包括第三频率参考装置,该第三频率参考装置具有频率更稳定的石英振荡器、如HF石英。由此频率更稳定的第三频率参考装置的频率可用于得出第二频率参考装置的Δ频率,也就是说,频率更稳定的第三频率参考装置的频率对于第二频率参考装置用作频率参考点。Furthermore, the second communication module may include a third frequency reference device having a more frequency-stable quartz oscillator, such as an HF quartz. The frequency of the more frequency-stable third frequency reference device can thus be used to derive the delta frequency of the second frequency reference device, i.e., the frequency of the more frequency-stable third frequency reference device serves as a frequency reference point for the second frequency reference device.

此外,本发明涉及、也并列地要求保护一种通信系统。所述通信系统具有无线电传输,该通信系统包括:第一通信模块,其中,第一通信模块配置给数据收集器;两个或更多个第二通信模块,其中,第二通信模块分别配置给一个测量单元;其中,第二通信模块设置用于借助无线电信号向第一通信模块发送数据,其中,第一通信模块设置用于接收来自第二通信模块的数据,其中,第一通信模块包括第一频率参考装置,其中,第二通信模块包括第二频率参考装置,其中,分别由第二通信模块在数据传输范围内传输给第一通信模块的无线电信号与第二频率参考装置有关,其中,设有用于基于在第一频率参考装置与第二频率参考装置之间的偏差来校正数据的装置,其中,第一通信模块具有测量装置,该测量装置用于测量由相应第二通信模块发送的且由第一通信模块接收的无线电信号的选自以下参数组的至少一个参数:带宽,数据速率,数据速率偏差,数据包中的温度,由第二频率参考装置得出的频率差Δ频率,调制指数和/或接收时间;并且第一通信模块具有控制和计算单元或至少与控制和计算单元连接,该控制和计算单元基于参数测量值或由所述参数测量值得出的值通过估算来确定第二频率参考装置的误差。该通信系统的特征在于,第一通信模块具有测量装置,该测量装置用于测量由第二通信模块接收的无线电信号的选自以下参数组的至少一个参数:带宽,数据速率,数据速率偏差(数据速率误差),数据包中的温度,由第二频率参考装置得出的Δ频率、调制指数和/或接收时间;并且第一通信模块具有控制和计算单元或至少与其连接,该控制和计算单元基于参数测量值或由此得出的值通过计算确定第二频率参考装置的误差,其中,在第一通信模块中减少或消除由第一通信模块接收的无线电信号的误差并且将相应地校正的无线电信号发送回第二通信模块。Furthermore, the present invention relates to and also claims protection for a communication system. The communication system has radio transmission and comprises: a first communication module, wherein the first communication module is assigned to a data collector; two or more second communication modules, wherein the second communication modules are each assigned to a measuring unit; wherein the second communication module is configured to send data to the first communication module by means of a radio signal, wherein the first communication module is configured to receive data from the second communication module, wherein the first communication module comprises a first frequency reference device, wherein the second communication module comprises a second frequency reference device, wherein the radio signals transmitted by the second communication module to the first communication module within the data transmission range are dependent on the second frequency reference device, wherein a frequency reference device is provided for Device for correcting data based on a deviation between a first frequency reference device and a second frequency reference device, wherein the first communication module has a measuring device for measuring at least one parameter of a radio signal transmitted by the corresponding second communication module and received by the first communication module, selected from the following parameter group: bandwidth, data rate, data rate deviation, temperature in the data packet, frequency difference Δfrequency derived from the second frequency reference device, modulation index and/or reception time; and the first communication module has a control and calculation unit or is at least connected to the control and calculation unit, which determines the error of the second frequency reference device by estimation based on the parameter measurement value or a value derived from the parameter measurement value.

具体实施方式DETAILED DESCRIPTION

图1中的附图标记1表示通信系统,该通信系统包括多个测量单元或者说消耗测量仪器2。消耗测量仪器2例如是水表、能量或热量表、气体计量表、电表或类似物。这样的消耗测量仪器2自主工作,即配备有自身的电源(电池)。所述消耗测量仪器通常位于房屋设备中、如单户住宅的地下室中或多户住宅的相应楼层中。相应的消耗测量仪器2通常具有显示器9,该显示器能实现读取消耗测量仪器2的累计的仪表读数。每个消耗测量仪器2还具有通信模块(第二通信模块17)、控制和计算单元19、石英振荡器(第二频率参考装置18)和天线8。Reference numeral 1 in FIG1 denotes a communication system comprising a plurality of measuring units or consumption measuring instruments 2. The consumption measuring instruments 2 are, for example, water meters, energy or heat meters, gas meters, electricity meters or the like. Such consumption measuring instruments 2 operate autonomously, i.e. are equipped with their own power supply (batteries). The consumption measuring instruments are typically located in a building installation, such as in the basement of a single-family house or on the corresponding floors of a multi-family house. The respective consumption measuring instruments 2 typically have a display 9 that enables the cumulative meter readings of the consumption measuring instruments 2 to be read. Each consumption measuring instrument 2 also has a communication module (second communication module 17), a control and calculation unit 19, a quartz oscillator (second frequency reference device 18) and an antenna 8.

通信系统1还包括一个具有频率参考装置11的数据收集器3,该数据收集器远离各个消耗测量仪器2地安装、例如安装在屋顶上并且用于从相应的相配的消耗测量仪器2中获得以数据包形式的数据。数据包由无线电报4形成,所述无线电报在特定时间由消耗测量仪器2传输到数据收集器3。优选地,将SRD频带和/或ISM频带用于所述传输,所述SRD频带和/或ISM频带能实现用于各种应用的免授权的频带宽度。由相应的消耗测量仪器2发送的无线电报4通过相关的消耗测量仪器2的石英振荡器确定。如果石英振荡器有误差,则该误差通过无线电报4不可避免地一同传输到数据收集器3。The communication system 1 also includes a data collector 3 with a frequency reference device 11. This data collector is installed remotely from the individual consumption metering instruments 2, for example, on a roof, and is used to receive data in the form of data packets from the corresponding associated consumption metering instruments 2. The data packets are formed by radio messages 4, which are transmitted from the consumption metering instruments 2 to the data collector 3 at specific times. Preferably, the SRD and/or ISM bands are used for this transmission, which provide a license-free frequency bandwidth for various applications. The radio messages 4 sent by the respective consumption metering instruments 2 are determined by the quartz oscillator of the relevant consumption metering instrument 2. If the quartz oscillator has errors, these errors are inevitably transmitted to the data collector 3 via the radio messages 4.

由于消耗测量仪器2的石英振荡器有误差,无线电报4与数据收集器3相比具有不同的频率或处于不同的信道中。这在图1中通过“数据收集器3预期的”以虚线示出的无线电报5象征性示出。在消耗测量仪器2与数据收集器3之间的理想通信情况下,消耗测量仪器2须向数据收集器3发送相应于无线电报5的无线电报。Due to errors in the quartz oscillator of the consumption meter 2, the radio message 4 has a different frequency or is in a different channel than the data collector 3. This is symbolically illustrated in FIG1 by the radio message 5 "expected by the data collector 3" shown in dashed lines. In the case of ideal communication between the consumption meter 2 and the data collector 3, the consumption meter 2 would have to send a radio message corresponding to the radio message 5 to the data collector 3.

本发明的构思现在在于,数据收集器3在接收相应的消耗测量仪器2的无线电报4时测量一个特殊的无线电参数或多个特殊的无线电参数,数据收集器3基于测得的无线电参数近似估算第二频率参考装置18的误差并且这样地改变其自身的频率参考装置11,使得消除或至少减小一个或多个相关的参数的所确定的差异。数据收集器3因此在其自身频率或频率信道的频率方面这样地进行调整,使得第二通信模块17以及第一通信模块10的频率至少基本上一致。相应由数据收集器3调整的无线电报6被数据收集器3发送回消耗测量仪器2(下行链路)。以这种方式使相关的消耗测量仪器2知晓可进行调谐的、改进的通信。无线电报6的相关的调整表现在该无线电报与数据收集器预期的(以虚线示出的)无线电报在其频率位置中一致。The idea of the present invention is that the data collector 3 measures a specific radio parameter or multiple specific radio parameters when receiving the radio message 4 of the corresponding consumption meter 2. Based on the measured radio parameters, the data collector 3 approximately estimates the error of the second frequency reference device 18 and changes its own frequency reference device 11 in such a way that the determined difference of one or more relevant parameters is eliminated or at least reduced. The data collector 3 thus adjusts the frequency of its own frequency or frequency channel in such a way that the frequencies of the second communication module 17 and the first communication module 10 are at least essentially consistent. The radio message 6 adjusted accordingly by the data collector 3 is sent back to the consumption meter 2 (downlink) by the data collector 3. In this way, the relevant consumption meter 2 is made aware of the tunable, improved communication. The relevant adjustment of the radio message 6 is manifested in that the radio message is consistent with the radio message expected by the data collector (shown in dotted lines) in its frequency position.

图2以框图示出该基本构思。在至少一个固定预设的无线电参数方面检测消耗测量仪器2发送的无线电报4并且根据所述一个或多个无线电参数估算相应的消耗测量仪器2的石英振荡器的误差。在此,石英误差估算优选通过数学模型、例如以积分变换的形式、优选以傅立叶变换或频谱变换的形式实现。这种近似估算可以以有利的方式软件技术地实现。例如为此数据收集器3的控制和计算单元13的运算能力可供使用。替代地,数据收集器3也可与外部控制和计算单元(如云计算机)连接。FIG2 illustrates this basic concept in a block diagram. The radio message 4 sent by the consumption meter 2 is detected with respect to at least one fixed, predefined radio parameter, and the error of the quartz oscillator of the corresponding consumption meter 2 is estimated based on the radio parameter or parameters. The quartz error estimation is preferably implemented using a mathematical model, for example, in the form of an integral transform, preferably a Fourier transform or a spectral transform. This approximate estimation can advantageously be implemented using software technology. For example, the computing power of the control and computing unit 13 of the data collector 3 is available for this purpose. Alternatively, the data collector 3 can also be connected to an external control and computing unit (such as a cloud computer).

图3中的表格示出根据本发明的适合用于估算消耗测量仪器2的石英振荡器的误差的无线电参数列表。作为无线电参数例如可考虑发送的无线电信号的带宽并且可由此确定频率偏移。通过频率偏移又可推断出石英误差。The table in FIG3 shows a list of radio parameters suitable for estimating the error of the quartz oscillator of the consumption meter 2 according to the present invention. For example, the bandwidth of the transmitted radio signal can be used as a radio parameter, and the frequency offset can be determined from this. The frequency offset can in turn be used to infer the quartz error.

替代地或附加地,作为无线电参数也可考虑数据速率偏差,即实际传输的数据速率与由数据收集器3预期的数据速率之间的差异。数据速率偏差导致在数据收集器3中在较早或较晚的时间点检测到相关符号。在这里,由于错误的时间点也会出现相位误差,该相位误差可降低传输性能。由数据速率偏差又可近似推断出石英误差。Alternatively or additionally, a radio parameter may also include data rate deviation, i.e., the difference between the actually transmitted data rate and the data rate expected by data collector 3. Data rate deviation results in the relevant symbols being detected at an earlier or later time in data collector 3. Due to the incorrect time, phase errors may also occur, which can reduce transmission performance. Quartz errors can also be approximately inferred from the data rate deviation.

由无线电信号接收时间的差异也可直接推断出石英误差。The quartz error can also be directly inferred from the difference in the reception time of the radio signal.

由无线电参数频率偏移也可确定调制指数中的偏差并由此确定石英误差。From the radio parameter frequency offset, deviations in the modulation index and thus the quartz error can also be determined.

消耗测量仪器2借助温度测量装置、如温度传感器来确定温度,并通过第二通信模块17将温度信息发送到数据收集器3的第一通信模块10。数据收集器3可由温度数据确定石英误差,其方式为:数据收集器例如将温度值与存储在校准表中的温度值进行比较。The consumption meter 2 determines the temperature using a temperature measuring device, such as a temperature sensor, and transmits the temperature information via the second communication module 17 to the first communication module 10 of the data collector 3. The data collector 3 can determine the quartz error from the temperature data by, for example, comparing the temperature value with temperature values stored in a calibration table.

此外,根据图7消耗测量仪器2也可包括第三频率参考装置22,该第三频率参考装置通常在能量消耗增加时具有比第二频率参考装置18更好的频率稳定性。例如作为第二频率参考装置18可设置时钟频率约为32kHz的时钟石英并且作为第三频率参考装置22可设置时钟频率约为20MHz的HF石英。在此第二频率参考装置18持续运行并且第三频率参考装置22仅暂时运行,以便将第三频率参考装置22的频率、周期或其它可导出的参量用作时钟度量(Taktmaβ)并且由此确定第二频率参考装置18的石英误差。为此例如可将第二频率参考装置18的频率F18与频率更稳定的第三频率参考装置22的频率F22进行比较。因此,由所确定的频率F18与频率18的预期频率值的偏差或频率差Δ频率允许与此相应地直接推断出第二频率参考装置18的石英振荡器的石英误差。Furthermore, according to FIG. 7 , the consumption meter 2 may also include a third frequency reference device 22, which generally has better frequency stability than the second frequency reference device 18 when energy consumption increases. For example, a clock quartz with a clock frequency of approximately 32 kHz may be provided as the second frequency reference device 18, and an HF quartz with a clock frequency of approximately 20 MHz may be provided as the third frequency reference device 22. In this case, the second frequency reference device 18 is operated continuously, while the third frequency reference device 22 is operated only temporarily, so that the frequency, period, or other derivable variable of the third frequency reference device 22 can be used as a clock metric (Taktmaβ) and thereby determine the quartz error of the second frequency reference device 18. For this purpose, for example, the frequency F18 of the second frequency reference device 18 can be compared with the frequency F22 of the more stable third frequency reference device 22. The deviation or frequency difference Δfrequency determined from the expected frequency value of the frequency F18 allows direct deduction of the quartz error of the quartz oscillator of the second frequency reference device 18.

此外,数据包之间的时间间隔是已知的、例如为5秒。根据图8,数据包之间的时间间隔t1、t2的分界可作为时间信息或时间信号或时间参考位于数据包的中间区域中。时间间隔t1、t2因此能够被尽可能准确地确定为时间间隔t1'或t2'并与预期的时间间隔t1和t2进行比较。随后可通过所确定的时间间隔t1'或t2'和第二频率参考装置18的石英振荡器的频率差Δ频率来确定频率,例如通过:频率=t1'+Δ频率来确定频率。Furthermore, the time interval between the data packets is known, for example, 5 seconds. According to FIG8 , the demarcation of the time intervals t1 and t2 between the data packets can be located in the middle of the data packets as time information, a time signal, or a time reference. Time intervals t1 and t2 can thus be determined as accurately as possible as time intervals t1' or t2' and compared with the expected time intervals t1 and t2. The frequency can then be determined from the determined time intervals t1' or t2' and the frequency difference Δfrequency of the quartz oscillator of the second frequency reference device 18, for example, by: frequency = t1' + Δfrequency.

在需要的情况下,可将所有上述无线电参数或其一部分的组合用于确定石英误差。If desired, a combination of all or part of the above radio parameters may be used to determine the quartz error.

在计算石英误差之后,优选地在子程序范围中首先检查消耗测量仪器2的石英振荡器是否具有限制性能的影响。如果误差仅微不足道,则不进行调整。然而如果误差较大,则在数据收集器3中进行调整。After calculating the quartz error, preferably within the scope of a subroutine, a check is first performed to determine whether the quartz oscillator of the consumption measuring device 2 has any performance-limiting influence. If the error is only negligible, no adjustment is performed. However, if the error is greater, an adjustment is performed in the data collector 3.

图4以强烈简化、但放大的视图示出数据收集器3的第一通信模块10的一种适宜的实施方式。通信模块10包括具有天线7的发送和接收部分12、与控制和计算单元13连接的石英振荡器(第一频率参考装置11)和优选显示器16。发送和接收部分12包括用于检测上述无线电参数的测量装置21。此外,设置所谓的查找表15,该查找表允许根据无线电信号的所述一个或多个测得的参数来改变数据收集器3的频率。根据图5,查找表15包括针对相应由数据收集器3测量或进一步处理的参数数据P1-Pn的多个输入端。此外,查找表15还包括适于与参数输入数据相关联的多个经验输入值W1-Wn。因此,根据相应的参数输入数据通过查找表15将适合的输出信号提供给数据收集器3的第一频率参考装置11,从而可相应调整数据收集器3的第一频率参考装置11的频率。FIG4 shows a highly simplified, yet enlarged, view of a suitable embodiment of the first communication module 10 of the data collector 3. Communication module 10 includes a transmitting and receiving section 12 with an antenna 7, a quartz oscillator (first frequency reference device 11) connected to a control and computing unit 13, and preferably a display 16. Transmitting and receiving section 12 includes a measuring device 21 for detecting the aforementioned radio parameters. Furthermore, a so-called lookup table 15 is provided, which allows the frequency of the data collector 3 to be varied depending on one or more measured parameters of the radio signal. As shown in FIG5 , lookup table 15 includes multiple inputs for parameter data P1-Pn, respectively, measured or further processed by the data collector 3. Furthermore, lookup table 15 includes multiple empirical input values W1-Wn adapted to be correlated with the parameter input data. Thus, based on the corresponding parameter input data, an appropriate output signal is provided to the first frequency reference device 11 of the data collector 3 via lookup table 15, allowing the frequency of the first frequency reference device 11 of the data collector 3 to be adjusted accordingly.

数据收集器3的第一频率参考装置11的频率调整关于相应的消耗测量仪器2顺序地进行,即从消耗测量仪器到消耗测量仪器直至所有消耗测量仪器2都进行了相应调整。仅需存储一个无线电参数测量值。无需用于存储多个无线电参数值的数据库。The frequency of the first frequency reference device 11 of the data collector 3 is adjusted sequentially with respect to the corresponding consumption meter 2, i.e., from consumption meter to consumption meter until all consumption meter 2 are adjusted accordingly. Only one radio parameter measurement value needs to be stored. A database for storing multiple radio parameter values is not required.

代替于或附加于查找表15,为了频率调整,也可规定借助可手动操作的调整元件、例如借助设有调整机构14的电容二极管20来改变第一频率参考装置11的硬件,如这由根据图6的视图得出的那样。Instead of or in addition to look-up table 15 , provision can also be made for frequency adjustment to modify the hardware of first frequency reference device 11 by means of manually operable adjustment elements, for example by means of a capacitance diode 20 provided with adjustment mechanism 14 , as is apparent from the illustration according to FIG. 6 .

在本发明范围中优选可以使用MSK调制(最小频移键控调制),该MSK调制是相干解调的。MSK调制又通过调制指数为0.5的FSK调制(频移键控调制)产生。为了能够相干地解码这样的调制类型,必须知道符号的相位。如果消耗测量仪器2中的符号相位失真,则这导致性能降低(在干扰稳健性或灵敏度方面测量),直至功能性丧失。尤其是,相位由于所谓的调制指数误差而失真。这两个FSK频率围绕载波以ΔF的距离(频率偏移)被发送。调制指数误差被定义为2ΔF(频率偏移)×T(符号持续时间)。由于调制指数误差,这两个FSK频率容易失真。这导致接收器中的传递的相位误差。电报越大,调制指数误差累计就越多。因此,迄今为止调制指数误差构成对电报长度的限制。如果频率偏移因为第二通信模块17的石英振荡器18的误差而改变,则这引起调制指数误差的改变。本发明能实现调整或校正(或减少)数据收集器上的调制指数或调制指数误差,从而可传输比以前长得多的无线电报。优选地更大的包长度或更长的无线电报可被用于在无线电报中纳入附加加密,从而得到改善的传输可靠性并同时得到改善的传输质量。Within the scope of the present invention, MSK modulation (Minimum Shift Keying) can preferably be used, which is coherently demodulated. MSK modulation, in turn, is generated by FSK modulation (Frequency Shift Keying) with a modulation index of 0.5. To be able to coherently decode this modulation type, the symbol phase must be known. If the symbol phase in the consumption measuring instrument 2 is distorted, this leads to reduced performance (measured in terms of interference robustness or sensitivity) and even loss of functionality. In particular, the phase is distorted due to the so-called modulation index error. The two FSK frequencies are transmitted at a distance of ΔF (frequency offset) around the carrier. The modulation index error is defined as 2ΔF (frequency offset) × T (symbol duration). Due to the modulation index error, the two FSK frequencies are easily distorted. This leads to a phase error in the transmission in the receiver. The larger the telegram, the greater the accumulated modulation index error. Therefore, the modulation index error has previously limited the telegram length. If the frequency offset changes due to errors in the quartz oscillator 18 of the second communication module 17, this also causes a change in the modulation index error. The present invention enables adjustment or correction (or reduction) of the modulation index or modulation index error at the data collector, thereby enabling the transmission of significantly longer radio messages than previously possible. Preferably, the larger packet length or longer radio messages can be used to incorporate additional encryption into the radio messages, thereby achieving improved transmission reliability and, at the same time, improved transmission quality.
