Summary

This article deals with Energy Consumption of Networked Embedded Systems.

The Internet of Things is the system which allows the connection of devices to the traditionnal internet via wired or wireless connections. With the idea of using wireless connection came the idea of energy consumption which is now the main concern in the software development. But a problem also came with this idea: we use the traditionnal existing internet protocols that were designed without taking care of energy-efficiency, so these protocols are sometimes not really adapted to the software we use.

The first important thing that authors mention is that this consumption is caused by the radio transceiver
