Abstract

See full text

A metering device (1) is configured to connect to a base station (21) in a public radio communication network (2) and perform wireless communication with the base station (21). Further, the metering device (1) is configured to transmit, at each transmission opportunity for periodically transmitting meter reading data to a remote system (3), first meter reading data that is related to a measurement period and has never been transmitted previously toward the remote system (3) and second meter reading data that is related to a past measurement period and has already been transmitted toward the remote system (3) in a past transmission opportunity. This makes it possible, for example, to contribute to a reduction in time required for transmission and reception of data packets by a smart meter when sending meter reading data.
