Wireless receivers for the Internet of Things waste energy because they’re usually designed for worst-case channel conditions, even though those conditions rarely occur.

Two prototypes demonstrate how this approach can significantly extend battery life for long-range IoT devices by enabling an ultra-low-power receiver mode without sacrificing reliability.
