GROUP BY för kontinuerliga rader i SQL

SELECT  MIN(id) AS id, MIN(ts) AS ts, MIN(state) AS state, COUNT(*) cnt
FROM    (
        SELECT  @r := @r + (@state != state) AS gn,
                @state := state AS sn,
                s.*
        FROM    (
                SELECT  @r := 0,
                        @state := 0
                ) vars,
                t_state s
        ORDER BY
                ts
        ) q
GROUP BY

Skript för att skapa tabeller för testning:

CREATE TABLE t_state (id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, state INT NOT NULL, ts DATETIME NOT NULL);

INSERT
INTO  t_state
VALUES
