Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting an event; determining, using a processor of a wireless node, one or more other wireless nodes within wireless range; generating, after the event, a packet of data including identifications of the one or more wireless nodes and positional data associated therewith; and transmitting, over a network connection, the packet of data to at least one of the one or more wireless nodes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, over a network connection, information comprising:
- identifications of a plurality of wireless nodes;
- positional data associated with the plurality of wireless nodes;
- and
- event data;
- determining, using a processor, a network map using the information, said network map comprising positions of the plurality of wireless nodes determined according to the positional data;
- and
