Method and system for referencing time measurement values of a consumption meter

Procedure for referencing time measurement values ​​of a consumption meter, comprising the steps of: reading a measured value of a consumption meter (2), representing the measurement value consumption measured by the consumption meter (2) transmit the measured value via an interface long range (6) to a reference server (5) in a communication path between the consumption meter (2) and the server referencing (5), a gateway being arranged ( 3) in the communication path, running the gateway (3) a change of interface between a short-range interface (4) and the interface long range (6), receiving the measured value on the server referencing (5) and referencing the measurement value received by the server referencing (5), with a time by referencing unit providing unit time by referencing an instance of time, setting timeouts and / or number Shipping repetitions in network nodes in the communication path so that is achieved serve a maximum transmission time in the communication channel.
