Energy Optimization for Green Communication in Sensor Enabled IoT Environments

Abstract

The escalating demand for connected devices in the era of Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing concerns about power consumption and environmental impact. This paper investigates the role of energy optimization techniques in enabling Green Communication in sensor-based IoT environments. We review and analyze existing strategies in energy-efficient communication, including efficient routing algorithms, power-aware protocol selections, deep sleep modes, and energy harvesting techniques. Furthermore, we explore the trade-offs between environmental sustainability and communication performance. Additionally, we highlight challenges in implementing Green Communication practices and propose possible solutions. Our findings demonstrate that with proper optimization methods, Green Communication enhances the sustainability of IoT ecosystems while catering to their real-time requirements, contributing to a smarter and greener technological future.
