Hi,
I am trying to determine if the 802.15.4 collector/sample examples are a suitable basis for a network where both the sensor and collector are battery powered. I can see that the senor has a parameter called CONFIG_RX_ON_IDLE but the lack of this parameter in the collector suggests it keeps the receiver on all the time and that will flatten the battery in days rather than years.
If I understand the examples correctly the collector sends the sensors a polling interval and a reporting interval so it knows then the sensors are going to try an communicate. Why can't the collector sleep until shortly before it expects a sensor message?
