“…Wireless communication technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and more specifically its low power version, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), have become ubiquitous in modern society, enabling short-range but reliable and secure communication between a vast array of devices [1,2]. In various Internet-of Thing (IoT)-based applications designed for patient monitoring [3,4], elderly care [5,6], environment monitoring [7,8], vehicular congestion monitoring [9] and other smart living appliances in urban areas [10] as well as localization in areas deprived of satellite signals [11,12,13,14], wireless connectivity using such technologies plays a pivotal role in facilitating data exchange and access to online resources. However, as the number of wirelessly connected devices continues to proliferate, the demand for efficient power management solutions to support their sustainable operation also increases.…”
