RELOCATION OF SENSOR NETWORK NODES BASED ON REDUNDANCY OF SENSOR DATA

摘要

Systems and methods are described for dynamic sensor network organization. In some embodiments, a first sensor node collects a data set and applies a selected analysis tool to generate a summary of the data set. The first sensor node also requests summary data from a second sensor node and identifies to the second sensor node the selected analysis tool to be used to generate that summary. The first sensor node receives the requested summary data and compares its own summary with the received summary. If the data summaries are sufficiently similar, the second sensor node may be considered redundant and may be instructed to enter a sleep mode. If the data summaries are sufficiently different, the second sensor node may be instructed to provide its collected data to the first sensor node. The analysis tool used to generate summaries may be selected from a plurality of available analysis tools.
