Example Concept: Implementing duty cycling is a common strategy to optimize battery life in IoT sensor nodes. This involves configuring the sensor node to alternate between active and sleep states, minimizing the time spent in high-power modes. By using low-power wireless protocols like BLE or Zigbee, and optimizing the data transmission frequency, the node can further conserve energy. Additionally, employing edge computing to process data locally reduces the need for frequent communication with the cloud, thereby saving power.
