Figure 2

Current time descriptions of the cycles of both radio transmission (a) and data sensing (b) operations and the simplified cycle of the total consumption (c).

(a) Cycle of a radio transmission: MCU (orange) and radio (green) current consumptions
(b) Cycle of a sensing operation: MCU (orange) and sensor (purple) current consumptions
(c) Behavior of average currents
