1. A sensor array comprising:

  • a master node;

    a first sensor node configured to transmit a data packet including first sensor data from a first sensor cluster associated with the first sensor node; and

    a second sensor node located between the master node and the first sensor node, the second sensor node configured to;

    (a) sample second sensor data from a second sensor cluster associated with the second sensor node,(b) receive the data packet from the first sensor node,(c) augment the data packet with the second sensor data to obtain an augmented data packet, and(d) transmit the augmented data packet to the master node or to a third sensor node located in closer proximity to the master node than the first and second sensor nodes.
