Abstract

In the Internet of things (IoT), the energy-saving of battery-powered IoT terminal is a key problem. To address it, a novel transceiver is proposed, and a transmission scheme is presented by exploiting the fading characteristic of the wireless channel. Based on the novel transceiver design, the IoT terminal can periodically observe the wireless channel gain and determine the appropriate time to upload information to the base station (BS). When the instantaneous wireless channel gain is lower than the wireless channel gain threshold that can be found using optimal stopping rules, the IoT keeps silent and continues to observe the wireless channel gain while when it is higher than the threshold, the IoT terminal uploads its information to the BS. We analyze the energy consumption performance of the proposed transmission scheme and compare it with that of the normal transmission scheme which transmits the information to the BS regardless of the instantaneous wireless channel gain. Simulations results show that the proposed transmission scheme significantly outperforms the normal ones especially under the scenarios featuring long information bits, low received signal-to-noise, and small Rician factor.
