Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) concept can be generally described as the ability of machines to communicate via the Internet to perform tasks. In addition to the communication between devices, humans can remotely control IoT devices via controllers such as smartphones. The main aim of introducing IoT technologies is to make our lives easier and more convenient. Due to the massive increase in both IoT devices and research on enhancing the security and the speed of these devices, there is a strong demand to work in parallel to promote IoT networks’ energy efficiency to make IoT systems scalable. This paper outlines the causes of energy inefficiency in IoT systems and proposes some key tools to prolong the network lifetime of these devices.
