The minimum energy, and, more generally, the minimum cost, to transmit 1 bit of information
was recently derived for bursty communication when the information is available infrequently
at random times at the transmitter. This result assumes that the receiver is always in the
listening mode and samples all channel outputs until it makes a decision. Since sampling is
in practice one of the receiver's most energy consuming functions, a natural question is to
evaluate capacity per unit cost when the receiver is sampling constrained. This paper …
