Sustainability by Efficiency: Energy Considerations in IoT Device Development

Abstract

The widespread use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has brought about an unparalleled level of connectedness, revolutionizing several sectors and everyday existence. However, there are serious worries over the energy usage and environmental effect of these devices due to their increasing deployment. The urgent problem of improving energy efficiency in Internet of Things devices is explored in this study abstract. Acknowledging the complex issues, we examine the condition of IoT device architecture at the moment, focusing on elements that lead to excessive energy usage. We examine cutting-edge techniques via an extensive examination, such as advanced computing paradigms like edge and fog computing, low-power hardware design, and energy-efficient communication protocols. The study also looks at case studies and tests conducted in the real world, providing concrete proof of the efficacy of various energy-saving strategies. Even with significant progress, issues with security, privacy, and scalability still exist. We address the trade-offs between performance and energy efficiency, highlighting the necessity of standardizing solutions. Promising future prospects are outlined in our article, such as the incorporation of block chain applications, revolutionary developments in battery technology, and renewable energy sources. The purpose of this study abstract is to direct researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers towards sustainable solutions for reducing the energy footprint of Internet of Things devices by offering a thorough view of the present scenario and forward-looking tactics.
