Wireless sensor network

I am working with time critical systems where latency of the WSN is greatly important for controlling and I am trying to build a simple one.Once test successful then I'll go for the complete WSN in large scale.I can start this way

  1. Each sensor node associated with XBee module and send data to the local XBee with arduino
  2. local arduino can be set for time stamping and one Xbee for routing data to the centralized PC/Laptop
  3. the centralized PC/Laptop will receive data through an XBee module
    and the Xbee module need to be series-2
    Is it correct correct approach?
