Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, devices and techniques for improving the longevity of battery life in a second device. An example first device includes communication circuitry configured to communicate with the second device and one or more sensors configured to sense parameters associated with the first device. The first device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a first time period when a likelihood of successful communications with the second device is higher than a second time period based on the sensed parameters, and control the communication circuitry to communicate with the second device during the first time period and refrain from communicating with the second device during the second time period.
