Greg -
The CC1000 radio
power level 6 - the lowest duty cycling level - does not necessarily offer the
lowest power consumption. If your motes are talking to each other every
once-in-awhile, power level 4 or 5 works pretty well.
A lot of energy is
consumed in sending the long preambles to wakeup nearby motes. Attached is
a plot detailing power consumption vs. duty cycle rates for the CC1000 radio in
a 'noisy' network.
