Abstract

It is disclosed a sensor system () and a method therefore for providing quality data to a network node. The sensor system comprises two or more populations () of sensors, each population having a plurality () of single-purpose slave sensors distributed over a geographical area and at least one master sensor (). Based on the data quality received () from each single-purpose slave sensor, a master sensor may perform discretionary management () and terminate () single-purpose slave sensor not meeting data quality standards. The sensor system provides a possibility to deploy master sensors and single-purpose slave sensor networks in remote or inaccessible areas without large network planning expenditures, for example by 'carpet-bombing' an area with slave sensors and master sensors from the air.
