Abstract
A monitoring network is formed by a terrestrial network and a satellite network. The terrestrial network has a plurality of sensor nodes which send a data packets. The data packets are forwarded through sink nodes toward a satellite and a monitoring station in the satellite network. The monitoring station performs a dynamic selection process for dynamically associating each sensor node to at least one selected sink node among the plurality of sink nodes, thereby the data packets sent by the sensor nodes are transmitted to the satellite through only the selected sink node.
