Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for enhanced checkpoint summary based monitoring for an event candidate within a wireless node network of ID nodes, a master node, and a server. The master node listens for ID node signals, detects a first advertising signal, and records a first observed parameter (e.g. sensor data generated by the ID node) based upon the detected first signal. The master node detects a subsequent group of signals broadcast by the ID node and records a group of observed parameters based upon respective ones of those signals. The master node generates a first checkpoint summary representing a first set of advertising signals (the detected first signal and the detected subsequent group of signals). The first checkpoint summary includes a summary observed parameter based upon the recorded observed parameter for the first signal and each of the recorded observed parameters for the subsequent group of signals. The first checkpoint summary is then reported to the server as the event candidate relative to the first ID node.

The method of claim 79, wherein each of the sensor data captured by the master node comprises data included within at least one of the first advertising signal or a respective one of the further group of advertising signals. 81. The method of claim 79, wherein each of the sensor data comprises environmental sensor data generated by the first ID node. 82. The method of claim 79, wherein each of the sensor data comprises package monitoring sensor data generated by the first ID node. 83. The method of claim 74, wherein the transmitting step further comprises transmitting, by the master node, the first checkpoint summary to the server as the event candidate relative to the first ID node when the first checkpoint summary meets a periodic reporting interval criteria relative to one or more prior checkpoint summaries generated by the master node. 84. The method of claim 83, wherein the transmitting step further comprises: incrementing, by the master node, a checkpoint count in memory of the master node upon generating the first checkpoint summary;comparing, by the master node, the incremented checkpoint count to the periodic reporting interval criteria relative to one or more prior checkpoint summaries generated by the master node; andreporting, by the master node, the first checkpoint summary to the server as the event candidate when the incremented checkpoint count matches the periodic reporting interval criteria. 85. The method of claim 84, wherein the periodic reporting interval criteria identifies a threshold number of generated checkpoint summaries as a reporting condition for reporting the first checkpoint summary to the server as the event candidate. 86. The method of claim 83 further comprising: detecting, by the master node, a profile identifier from the first ID node, the profile identifier being part of at least one of the received first advertising signal and the successively received subsequent group of advertising signals; andaltering, by the master node, the periodic reporting interval criteria based upon an alert profile corresponding to the profile identifier, the alert profile comprising a plurality of node management rules related to monitoring the first ID node and reporting to the server. 87. The method of claim 84 further comprising adjusting, by the master node, the summary observed parameter reported to the server as part of the event candidate to statistically summarize the first checkpoint summary with at least one previous checkpoint summary generated by the master node and not reported to the server. 88. The method of claim 74 further comprising comparing a previous summary observed parameter for a previous checkpoint summary to the summary observed parameter for the first checkpoint summary to identify a change in a status of the first ID node; and transmitting the first checkpoint summary to the server as the event candidate when the comparison identifies the change in the status of the first ID node. 89. The method of claim 88, wherein the change in the status of the first ID node comprises when the previous summary observed parameter for the previous checkpoint summary is different than the summary observed parameter for the first checkpoint summary by more than a threshold level. 90.
