Abstract

Not long ago, the only things connected to the Internet were Personal Computers, while nowadays everything are connected to the Internet from clothes to kitchen appliances. Therefore, Internet of Things (IoT) is more pervasive today. IoT nodes should be able to continue their activities for a long period of time using only their batteries without recharging. IoT is a heterogeneous network and each of its equipment developed independently with difference technologies. Given these properties, IoT typically is relied on the battery. Moreover, it faces with energy constraints because of the limited batteries capacity. In this paper, by considering Internet of Things properties, we propose a novel data encoding method to reduce energy consumption and increase battery via reducing the amount of transmitted data over the network. Moreover, we further reduce the energy consumption by taking the advantages of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). The results show that energy consumption is reduced 20%, on average without using SDN and 39% in our SDN-based system.
