Method for operating an energy-autonomous
radio receiver (105) of a preferably stationary gateway (100), wherein the
radio receiver (105) receives telegrams (204, 205, 206, 209) in the form of bursts from at least one radio node (200), preferably a number X of radio nodes (200) of a network (214), and the
radio receiver (105) opens receive windows (207, 207a, 208, 208a) for reception, wherein the radio
receiver (105) is supplied with electrical energy for energy-autonomous operation by a battery (109), preferably a long-life battery, and / or by a photovoltaic
cell arrangement (111), wherein the radio
receiver (105) is a radio
receiver of the SDR type comprising at least one
microcontroller (105), in whose receive operation the radio signals received by the radio receiver (105) are converted into I / Q data (113) converted and the I / Q data 113 further processed using computation time-consuming algorithms,wherein, despite the reception of incoming bursts or radio signals by the radio receiver (105), computational operations of the
microcontroller (105) are aborted or at least reduced in scope in the presence of predefined reception scenarios.
