Claim:
1. A method for reducing power consumption at a sensing device, the method comprising: sampling, via a sensor, a metric indicative of a physical property of an infrastructure system, wherein the sampling is carried out over a training time span, at an original sampling scheme, wherein the sampling scheme sets forth sampling points indicating times over the time span in which sampling is carried out; determining, based on the training time span, for which of future time spans, said metric is predictable within a predefined threshold, wherein a metric is determined predictable by comparing predicted measurements with real measurements at same time slot within the training time span; and adjusting the original sampling scheme, to yield a revised sampling scheme such that a number of sampling points at the revised sampling scheme where said metric is more predictable than a predefined threshold is reduced, and such that a number of sampling points within future time spans where said metric is less predictable than the predefined threshold is increased.
