Abstract
Hierarchical system of network nodes is suitable solution how to collect and how to pre-process data from large amount of end-nodes. By contrast to flat (one layer) architecture there are special intermediary nodes used and they are called summarization nodes. These special nodes have to be suitably placed in the network to enable efficient data collection and their number in the hierarchy is one of the key parameters of the architecture. The article deals with the tree architecture design, with its optimisation and with the problem of limited number of summarization nodes.
