Abstract
With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, their reconfigurability, networking, task automation, and control ability have been a boost to the evolution of traditional industries such as health-care, agriculture, power, education, and transport. However, the quantum of data produced by the IoT devices poses serious challenges on its storage, communication, computation, security, scalability, and system’s energy sustainability. To address these challenges, the concept of green sensing and communication has gained importance. This article surveys the existing green sensing and communication approaches to realize sustainable IoT systems for various applications. Further, a few case studies are presented that aim to generate sensed traffic data intelligently as well as prune it efficiently without sacrificing the required service quality. Challenges associated with these green techniques, various open issues, and future research directions for improving the energy efficiency of the IoT systems are also discussed.
