Example Concept: Duty cycling is a common technique to optimize power consumption in IoT sensors. It involves periodically turning off the sensor or putting it into a low-power sleep mode when not actively sensing or transmitting data. By reducing the active time and frequency of data transmission, the overall energy usage is minimized, which extends the battery life of the device. Additionally, using low-power communication protocols like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Zigbee can further reduce power consumption during data transmission.
