An Energy-Efficient Information-Centric Model for Internet of Things Applications

The Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is considered a network paradigm for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications. ICN works on data naming conventions and fits perfectly in distributed computing. LoRa has been adopted for long-range, interference-free communication for multiple IoT applications. We demonstrate that LoRa networks' energy consumption can be significantly reduced by integrating information-based communication for IoT applications. We propose a data-centric routing using ICN to depict significant energy savings.
