IEEE 802.11ba Battery Life Improvement

The Internet of Things is predicted to consist of billions of devices by 2020. Many of these devices will run on batteries. To prolong the useful life of these batteries, while making sure devices don t stay in a sleep state too long and run slowly, devices must be able to run in a low-power, low-latency state. Wake-Up Radio, which is being developed by the IEEE 802.11ba working group, offers a solution to this challenge.
