1. A communication system, the system comprising:
a first hub;
a second hub, wherein the second hub is configured to be a backup for the first hub; and
a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor is configured to transmit communications to each of the first hub and the second hub,
wherein each sensor is configured to assign itself an index number based on signal quality of communication with adjacent sensors, such that sensors with highest communication signal quality with the adjacent sensors are assigned the lowest index number,
wherein communication is facilitated in a communication order that is determined based on the assigned index numbers, and
wherein each sensor is assigned an index number such that the shortest path to communication with the first hub is achieved.
