Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. In some examples, the electronic device comprises a first sensor configured to measure a first type of sensor data at a first sampling rate. In some examples, the electronic device comprises a communication interface configured to: detect a proximity of one or more network capable devices, different from the electronic device, form a sensor network with at least one of the one or more network capable devices, exchange operational parameters with the at least one of the one or more network capable devices, and coordinate data measurement by the first sensor based on the exchanged operational parameters. In some examples, coordinating measuring of data by the first sensor further comprises selecting the reduced sampling rate of the first sensor based on a total number of devices participating in the sensor network having sensors capable of measuring the first type of sensor data.
