> For low power wireless systems, still, though, the bulk of the energy is spent in TX and RX.

That is very highly dependent upon the system.

Some systems are all about leakage--these spend most of their lifetime on a shelf and a couple of days actually active.

Some systems are all about sensors or actuators and the communication is in the noise.

Some systems are all about calling home, and those require good TX consumption.
