1. A system for managing nodes on a network, comprising:
- a plurality of nodes, each node reporting a sensor data;
a clustering unit that groups said plurality of nodes into a plurality of subnets;
and wherein a first node of said plurality of nodes reports said sensor data to a second node of said plurality of nodes at a first rate if said first node and said second node are in a same subnet and at a second rate if said first node and said second node are in a different subnet, said second rate being substantially lower than said first rate.

Abstract
A system and method for managing a network of nodes that share sensor data is presented. In one embodiment, the system and method clusters groups of nodes into subnets. Nodes in a common subnet share sensor data with other nodes in the subnet at one rate, while nodes that are not in a common subnet share sensor data at a second substantially reduced rate.

10. A method for sharing sensor data between a plurality of nodes on a network, comprising:
-
grouping said plurality of nodes into a plurality of subnets; sharing said sensor data at a first rate between a plurality of nodes in a common subnet at a first rate; and sharing said sensor data at a second rate between a first node and a second node not in a common subnet; and wherein said first rate is greater than said second rate. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
