1. A method of operating a sensor net, comprising:
- detecting access attempts by one or several mobile devices to multiple nodes within said sensor net;
calculating a respective probability of future access by a mobile device for each of said multiple nodes in response to said detecting;
communicating information related to said calculated probabilities through said sensor net; and
routing measurement data for collection to respective ones of said multiple nodes using said calculated probabilities.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to sensor nets from which data is extracted using mobile devices. Sensor devices within the sensor nets record access attempts by mobile devices. Using the recorded access attempts, the probabilities of future access to respective sensor devices are calculated. Collection points are selected using the calculated probabilities. Also, the probabilities of future access are distributed through the sensor nets. Routing of measurement data within the sensor nets may occur using the calculated probabilities.
