Abstract
The autonomic Internet of Things is the creation of self-management capability in the Internet of Things system by embedding some autonomic properties, with the goal of freeing humans from all detail of the operation and management of the system. At same time, this provides a system to always operate on the best performance. This paper presents a review of the recent studies related to the design of network communication protocol, which can support autonomic Internet of Things. Many of the studies come from the research and development in Wireless Sensor Network protocols, as it becomes one of the key technologies for the Internet of Things. The identified autonomic properties are self-organization, self-optimization, and self-protection. We review some protocols with the objective of energy consumption reduction and energy harvesting awareness, as it can support the self-energy-awareness property. As the result, the protocol designs are mapped according to each autonomic property supported, including protocols for MAC layer, protocols for clustering, protocols for routing, and protocols for security. This can be used to map the advances of communication protocol research for the autonomic Internet of Things and to identify the opportunities for future research.

The protocol designs to support this energy harvesting activity are mostly for the medium access control (MAC) layer. It is wide open for research opportunities to embed energy harvesting awareness to the protocol designs for other protocol functions, such as for network clustering, routing, and to support this energy harvesting activity are mostly for the MAC layer
Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) is a global network of various physical devices such as sensors, actuators, and mobile devices, which are connected to the internet and do the collection, exchange, and processing of data. The IoT envisions a complex system with the purpose to interconnect sensors, actuators, and smart devices in such a way that makes them intelligent, programmable, and more capable in interacting with humans by providing useful services [1]. IoT makes the realization of various smart service concepts such as smart city, smart grid, smart home, smart building, smart health, and smart transportation [2]. The rapid growth of IoT has been predicted by Gartner in [3]. The large number of IoT devices will bring out many challenges and complexity
