7.6. Communication Architectures for Energy/Battery-Efficient Systems

In this section, we turn our attention to the design of communication architectures for energy-efficient and battery-efficient systems. For battery-efficient systems, it is important not only to reduce the total energy consumption of the system but also to tailor the manner in which energy is drawn to specific characteristics of the battery.

We consider two categories of techniques that address the design of the communication architecture, keeping energy/battery-efficiency in mind. The first category consists of techniques that attempt to reduce the energy consumption of the communication architecture itself, by reducing the power consumed by the wires constituting the communication ...
