Revolutionizing Green IoT: Exploring Evolutionary Algorithms, Trends, and Future Frontiers

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a significant advancement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). IoT facilitates the integration of systems ranging from small-scale to large-scale. The Internet of Things comprises billions of interconnected devices, forming a vast network of gadgets. The number of Internet-connected devices has rapidly grown as a result of recent technological developments, which have raised the demand for resources. This has drawn attention to IoT due to its low energy consumption. The demand for energy efficiency led to the emergence of Green IoT. In the Green IoT, several optimization approaches are employed to reduce the consumption impact of the negative effects of human activity on the environment. This paper outlines IoT devices, their components, and their applications. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of methods for reducing energy use along with an overview and evaluation of various optimization algorithms. The Green IoT and its applications are also discussed. Furthermore, this study explores IoT applications in the healthcare sector and discusses associated challenges.
