Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: arranging two or more sensor nodes into a ring monitor, each sensor node of the ring monitor coupled to a sensor and each sensor node cross-monitoring at least one other sensor node in the ring monitor; receiving a request to add a new sensor node to the ring monitor; generating, by a computer processor, a spatial partitioning of a plane representing locations of the new sensor node and the two or more sensor nodes in the ring monitor, the spatial partitioning comprising a plurality of regions, and each region corresponding to a sensor node; selecting two or more adjacent sensor nodes from the two or more sensor nodes in the ring monitor, based at least in part on the spatial partitioning; instructing the two or more adjacent sensor nodes to monitor the new sensor node; and instructing the new sensor node to monitor each of the two or more adjacent sensor nodes.
