This paper presents an overview of the Internet of Things (IoT) device design and
simulation, with a specific focus on low-power design principles - everything in
the context of the LoLiPoP-IoT project. The project aims to enhance IoT device
usability by reducing maintenance requirements related to battery recharging or
replacement. Another key goal is to significantly decrease the massive waste
generated by discarded primary batteries, contributing to more sustainable and
user-friendly IoT solutions for the future. The primary focus of this paper is on
a custom IoT localization tag, for which we simulate solar cells - ranging from
basic modeling to their integration into electrical circuits - and the power
consumption of the tag's electronics platform. The analyzed sample platform is
built on the nRF52833 microcontroller and the DW3110 ultra-wideband transceiver.
We also applied our experimental framework principles to optimize power
consumption and extend battery life. Reductions in photovoltaic panel area were
achieved for both devices with a 5-year lifespan and fully autonomous tags,
though with increased localization latency. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates
how IoT devices, including their firmware, can be effectively modeled and
simulated using publicly available tools.
