Overview
Green communication networks, with a focus on energy efficiency, is an emerging technological trend of great significance. These networks can significantly enhance sustainability for Internet of Things (IoT) with regard to power resources and environmental conditions. IoT is an ecosystem of connected physical objects that are accessible through the Internet. IoT involves creation of smart communication environment between smart homes, smart transportation, and smart healthcare systems with the help of several devices in a network that enables transmission of data within these devices such as Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), cloud services, Near Field Communication (NFC), gateways, data storage and analytics, and visualization elements.
The exponentially increasing number of nodes in the IoT ecosystem will lead to significant energy consumption. Thus, reducing carbon footprint in green communication networks is a key challenge facing researchers in academia and industry.
Due to the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in this area, several green communication approaches are entering a more mature phase, with exciting applications in various networks. Moreover, the information sharing and intelligent decision-making capabilities help recent green communication networks play an important role in improving not only energy efficiency but also network performance. For instance, a simple and effective green communication solution is to place a node in intelligent sleep mode; this is achieved with the help of various MAC protocols with broad applications in wireless networks. However, it is essential to investigate the trade-off between the energy efficiency for green communication networks, and the IoT requirements. Moreover, it is crucial to evaluate the performance concerning the energy consumption, the throughput, and the response time, regarding IoT ecosystem.
