A control information utilization method and an apparatus of a terminal with heterogenous technology communication modules operating in a same frequency band are provided to protect against unnecessary battery power consumption. A control information reception method of a terminal includes receiving control information from a base station using a first module, determining a channel occupancy time based on the control information using a licensed assisted access (LAA) radio identifier, and transferring the channel occupancy time to a second module that is operating in a same frequency band as the first module.

A method and system for the post-adjustment (i.e., offline) of event timestamps to implement virtual time synchronization amongst detection node clocks. In existing methodologies with the goal of clock synchronization, clocks (and timestamps generated therefrom) are disciplined or adjusted at the recordation time of the events on a detection node (e.g., a switch/router, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, a wireless sensor, etc.). However, there is no particular reason for these clocks or timestamps to be accurate during the recordation time, but rather, should be accurate at their use or interpretation time. Further, through these recordation time adjustments, clock drifts and timing errors may be gradually introduced, leading to runaway inaccuracies. The disclosed method and system intentionally avoids the disciplining of clocks at event recordation times on the detection node and, instead, adjusts timestamps during interpretation times, to overcome the aforementioned issues.

The present disclosure provides a method of managing data, remotely generated, by, for example, resistance-based fitness devices, in which variable RPM measurement from a flywheel or similar mechanism is replaced with standardized digitally generated RPM measurement. The resulting data packet can be stored with other packets from the same event as a record. Stored records may be accurately compared with other such records from the same or other users for a variety of purposes. A computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method is also provided.

A communication device includes: a plurality of sensors, each of which includes at least one sensor element that detects information relating to a single detection target and an output circuit that generates an output signal based on a detection signal of the sensor element and transmits the output signal; and a controller that acquires the output signal. One of the sensors transmits the output signal to the controller at an output timing that is shifted, by a predetermined period shorter than a length of one period of the output signal, from another output timing when another one of the sensors transmits the output signal.

The present disclosure discloses a time synchronous hybrid analog and digital sensor data acquisition system and method, comprising analog sensors, digital modules, digital sensors, hubs for networking a plurality of heterogeneous sensors, a local-area network device and a data processing terminal. The present disclosure solves the problem that data cannot be compared due to time difference in acquisition for the reason that the sampling time of different sensors cannot be synchronized precisely in the existing experiments and practical engineering, and also solves the problems of single function, low integration level and manpower consumption when different sensor instruments work separately. The data acquisition system of the present disclosure can be directly connected to various heterogeneous sensors to realize synchronous acquisition, synchronous transmission and simple and fast operation. The present disclosure greatly increases the time precision, amplitude precision and efficiency of synchronous acquisition, reduces the labor cost, and has wide application prospect.
