1. A method for communicating with an Internet of Things (IoT) device via a satellite link, the method comprising:
placing the IoT device in a connected mode, an idle mode, or a power saving mode, wherein a power consumption rate of the power saving mode is less than each of a power consumption rate of the idle mode and a power consumption rate of the connected mode;
transmitting a burst comprising a payload synchronized with the transmitting duration;
calculating an optimal payload size based on optimizing a burst utilization; and
segmenting the payload, prior to the transmitting, based on the optimal payload size,
wherein the connected mode comprises a transmitting duration consuming a transmitting power, a receiving duration consuming a receiving power and a dormant duration consuming a dormant power, wherein the dormant power is less than each of the transmitting power and the receiving power.
