METHOD FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT OF A BATTERY-POWERED RADIO NODE

Method for energy management of a battery-operated radio node for bidirectional data transmission in a Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) between the radio node and a network server and/or an application server via at least one gateway, wherein the radio node transitions into a transmission mode for uplink transmission and into a reception mode for downlink reception, wherein the radio node opens at least one reception window following an uplink transmission, and wherein on the basis of a credit points system during operation of the radio node, a current sending or non-sending of an uplink transmission and/or a current processing or non-processing of a downlink transmission is controlled depending on a credit points status of the radio node.
