Energy-Efficient Features of Internet of Things Protocols

Overview

RFC 8352, “Energy-Efficient Features of Internet of Things Protocols”, is an Informational document published in April 2018 by C. Gomez, M. Kovatsch, H. Tian, Z. Cao. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes the challenges for energy-efficient protocol operation on constrained devices and the current practices used to overcome those challenges. It summarizes the main link-layer techniques used for energy-efficient networking, and it highlights the impact of such techniques on the upper-layer protocols so that they can together achieve an energy-efficient behavior. The document also provides an overview of energy-efficient mechanisms available at each layer of the IETF protocol suite specified for constrained-node networks.
