Method and Telemetric Device for Resampling Time Series Data

Description

This technology describes both a data resampling method and a telemetric device for carrying out said

method. The current problem is that the data transmission bandwidth and CPU usage for telemetric data analysis are too high to maintain a good reliance between precision and bandwidth. With this method, instead of generating lots of data it is possible to obtain information and at the same time reduce the usage of bandwidth. This separation between data and information is possible due to a lossy compression method with a maximum configurable error. The resulting resampled time series guarantees that the error made is not bigger than the configured one at any given point.

Innovations and advantages:

The main benefits of this invention are:

• Reduced bandwidth and amount of samples required in order to maintain a high information rate.
• Both CPU and channel requirements are reduced.
• Adaptable compression rate defined by a configurable maximum error.
• No compression codes used.
• No decompression needed.
• The outputted information has the same format as the original information, so it may be used directly at reception.
