There is provided a communications network comprising a network node and a resource limited node. The network node comprises a controller operable to estimate an optimal duty cycle for various operating modes of the resource limited node to minimize the overall resource consumption of the resource limited node; and a transmitter operable to notify parameters of the estimated optimal duty cycle to the resource limited node.
