1. A system for wireless integrity sensing, comprising:
a base module having a processor;
a plurality of structural integrity sensing elements;
an energy harvester configured to receive energy and provide power to the base module, wherein the base module is configured to selectively power respective structural integrity sensing elements of the plurality of sensing elements;
a plurality of edge modules, wherein each of the plurality of edge modules is coupled to a respective structural integrity sensing element of the plurality of structural integrity sensing elements; and
a daisy-chain communication link connecting the base module to each of the plurality of edge modules in series, wherein each of the plurality of edge modules transmits a respective data signal to the base module, and wherein the daisy-chain communication link ends at a network terminator.
