RESONATE: Advancing Sustainability in IoT Networks through Smart and Selective Data Streaming

The three-tier sense-edge-cloud (SEC) framework developed as a consequence of the advances in IoT communication represents an inverted multicast paradigm, allowing the sensors to deliver the data to the cloud via edge devices. Due to the increasing volume of data generation and transmission, the SEC framework is often challenged by resource bottlenecks. To remedy this problem, an IoT network must exhibit three key characteristics: optimal network resource efficiency for data transmission, energy efficiency to sustain sensors and applications, and a focus on the fitness score through selective streaming. Taking these criteria into consideration, we conceptualize an approach, called RESONATE, to optimize network resources to achieve essential communication, while alleviating network congestion and energy conservation. It selectively triggers sensors for data transmission based on factors like sensor location, communication range, and fitness score levels. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate the efficacy of RESONATE in terms of energy efficiency, network bandwidth consumption, and data reporting optimization.
