Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a sensor over a network includes a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to communicate over the network. The processor is configured to receive or generate control data for controlling a sensor, the sensor being connected to the network by a peer device. The processor is further configured to wake-up a link with the peer device in accordance with a schedule, and, during a time period in the schedule in which the link with the peer device is awake, to send to the peer device a packet comprising the control data.
