Abstract

Battery-operated IoT devices in IoT systems require low power consumption. In general, IoT devices enter a sleep state synchronously to reduce power consumption. A problem arises when an IoT device has to handle asynchronous user requests, as the duty cycle must be reduced to enhance response time. In this paper, we propose a new low-power-consumption scheme, called Repetitive Wake-up scheme for IoT systems of asynchronous environments such as indoor lights control. The proposed scheme can reduce power consumption by sending wake-up signals from the smartphone repetitively and by retaining the IoT device in sleep state to the smallest possible duty cycle. In the various environments with IoT devices at home or office space, we showed that the proposed scheme can reduce power consumption by up to five times compared to the existing synchronous interlocking technique.

사물인터넷 시스템에서 배터리로 동작하는 사물인터넷 장치는 저전력 소모가 필수이다. 일반적으로 사물인터넷 장치들은 주기적으로 수면 상태에 진입하여 전력 소모를 줄인다. 하지만 비동기 사용자 요구 환경에서는 응답시간을 줄이기 위해 듀티 사이클을 줄여야 하므로 전력 소모 절감 효과가 줄어든다. 본 논문에서는 실내 전등 제어와 같은 비동기 제어가 필요한 환경에서도 장치의 전력 소모 절감 효과를 높일 수 있는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 반복 깨우기(repetitive wake-up) 기법은 스마트폰에서 깨우기 신호를 반복적으로 전송하고 사물인터넷 장치는 듀티 사이클을 최소화함으로써 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있다. 스마트폰 앱과 사물인터넷 장치를 구현하고 실험을 통해 제안하는 반복 깨우기 기법이 기존의 동기적 수면/활동 기법보다 최대 5배 이상 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.
