h1. Abstract

A vast array of devices and equipment - computers, electronic gadgets, household appliances, industrial equipment, medical instruments, sensors and monitors, among many others - need to communicate with not only human operators but also with other devices, often forming a large network. Some call this the 'Internet of Things'. An increasing percentage of the communication is now carried wirelessly, and this trend is growing. There are several protocols and methods used for these purposes, and designers of these devices integrate an appropriate method. All battery-powered devices, however, strive to achieve 'low power' operation in all areas, and this includes subsystems that carry out wireless communications. In the field of hardware design, specifically chip design, there is a major thrust on low power implementations. However, the key feature required in these devices is low battery-drain – or 'low energy' operation.

This talk describes how the implementation of communication systems can focus on energy efficiency and discusses some popular misconceptions that prevent optimal battery life. It explains some of the key concepts involved in reliably sending data across from one device to another, and how designers can benefit from an 'energy oriented' way of optimizing their offerings. In particular, this talk uses the example of 802.11 Wireless LAN to show how wireless transport subsystems can be created for low energy operation.
