Abstract

See full text

A method of wireless communication includes providing a matrix of trackers. The matrix includes rows and columns of trackers. A number of rows and a number of columns in the matrix is determined. If the number of rows is substantially greater than the number of columns, then vertical sweeping is performed including passing data along each of the columns of trackers to an end tracker in each column. If the number of rows is substantially less than the number of columns, then horizontal sweeping is performed including passing data along each of the rows of trackers to an end tracker in each row. If the number of rows is substantially equal to the number of columns, then diagonal sweeping is performed including passing data diagonally across each of the rows and columns of trackers to an end tracker in each row and each column. The data is passed along the end trackers to a final destination data collector.
