Abstract
An electronic device that includes a power source and a wireless transmitter is controlled by a method. The method predicts a magnitude of surplus energy in the power source under the assumption that the electronic device is operated in accordance with a default schedule over a time period. The default schedule defines sampling of sensor data from at least one sensor and transmission of the sensor data by use of the wireless transmitter. The method further determines, based on the magnitude of surplus energy, a modified schedule that results in sampling of an increased amount of sensor data per unit time compared to the default schedule, and configures the electronic device to operate in accordance with the modified schedule for at least part of the time period. The method increases availability of sensor data without compromising the mission of the electronic device.
