Energy-awareness in large-scale internet of things networks

Abstract

The goal of my thesis is to research ways to improve energy efficiency in IoT networks, which contain various devices including sensor nodes and smartphones. In my research, I will use a bottom-up approach by starting with modeling of traffic impact on energy consumption in single wireless nodes to large-scale IoT networks. The result of my work will be energy and interference models for WSNs and energy management middleware for IoT networks. As of now, I have published work in traffic scheduling and currently working on a large-scale 802.15.4/CoAP network emulation experiment and interference modeling.
