Abstract:
1. A method for operating a mobile device and a sensor within local wireless proximity of the mobile device comprising: determining an energy consumption on the mobile device during sleep and active modes of the mobile device; determining an energy consumption on the sensor during sleep and active modes of the sensor; determining energy levels of the mobile device and the sensor; using a parameter to determine sleep durations of the sensor and the mobile device, wherein the parameter is not a duty cycle, and the parameter is based on a frequency of rechargeability and a maximum capacity of energy storage; and setting the sleep durations of the mobile device based on a sleep duration of the sensor while meeting an end-to-end delay constraint for a service related to the sensor, the end-to-end delay constraint defined between at least the sensor and a node requesting the service.
