Energy Efficiency in Computing

This paper introduces the Extended Messaging Presence Protocol and shows how it is adapted to support the small and power-constrained devices that will make up the Internet of Things by requiring low energy consumption. Soon, everything in the world will be connected via the Internet, from simple machines to humans. Every machine that we can see in our surroundings, such as the air conditioner, heater, or even home electricity meter will have a communication and network hardware module installed to be a part of the Internet of Things. So, machines will produce data to be delivered to service users of the Internet of Things who needed the data. In this communication and network paradigm, it is considered that the Extended Messaging Presence Protocol is a good candidate for connecting machines and delivering messages among them. In addition, the Extended Messaging Presence Protocol provides real-time communication and network accessibility to the devices in private network as well. However the Presence message of the Extended Messaging Presence Protocol causes a large amount of network traffic overhead. Therefore, small, battery-powered Internet of Things devices would consume a great deal of energy in a short period of time. So this paper provides an energy-efficient communication scheme based on the Extended Messaging Presence Protocol for resource constrained devices.
