Claim 1:
2. A system comprising a plurality of telemetry devices mounted on one or more trains, wherein each of the telemetry devices is configured to periodically transmit status data to one or more apparatuses over a network over a first communication frequency, and wherein the plurality of telemetry devices comprises a first telemetry device and one or more second telemetry devices in a vicinity of the first telemetry device at an instant of time, wherein the first telemetry device is configured to:
detect presence of the one or more second telemetry devices;
initiate a negotiation process for identifying a designated telemetry device from among the first telemetry device and the one or more second telemetry devices by broadcasting a negotiation start message over a second communication frequency;
aggregate status data associated with the first telemetry device, and status data received over the second communication frequency from the one or more second telemetry devices in response to the negotiation start message;
process the aggregated status data to identify the designated telemetry device from among the first telemetry device and the one or more second telemetry devices; and
transmit the aggregated status data to the designated telemetry device over the second communication frequency, if the designated telemetry device is not the first telemetry device, to enable the designated telemetry device to perform one or more actions for managing data transmission from the plurality of telemetry devices.
