Abstract
Methods and systems for real-time monitoring of environments are disclosed. The methods include receiving a measurement by a sensor unit, and transmitting a signal to a monitoring station if the measurement is approximately between a lower and an upper threshold. Based on a number of signals received, the monitoring station will broadcast a signal indicating to stop transmission of measurements or to update the lower and the upper threshold and continue transmission of measurements. Transmission of measurements may occur during a given time slot.
