  • Abstract

    The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to the proliferation of interconnected devices that generate and exchange vast amounts of data. Efficient data transmission in IoT networks is a crucial factor in ensuring energy conservation, as most IoT devices operate on battery power and are often deployed in remote locations. Energy-efficient data transmission protocols are essential in prolonging the lifespan of these devices, reducing operational costs, and improving network efficiency. This paper explores various energy-efficient data transmission protocols tailored for IoT networks, focusing on mechanisms such as duty cycling, data aggregation, adaptive transmission power, and sleep scheduling. The discussion encompasses recent advancements in the field, comparative analyses of different protocols, and their effectiveness in real-world IoT applications. Additionally, it presents an evaluation of trade-offs between energy efficiency and data reliability, latency, and security. A detailed methodology section outlines experimental setups used to assess protocol performance, followed by a results and discussion section that highlights key findings. The study concludes with insights on future directions and potential improvements in energy-efficient transmission protocols for IoT networks.
