For comparison, BLE always uses scheduled rendezvous (B), and Thread supports always-on, and unscheduled wake-up type devices (C and A).

The downside of scheduled rendezvous is that both devices need accurate clocks, and they have to communicate regularly (once every few seconds) to maintain synchronisation.

Nice that LoRaWAN supports all three anyway.
