The Impact of MIS Software on IT Energy Consumption https://aisel.aisnet.org/ecis2010/95/ | We measured the power absorbed by the Server Machine by an ad-hoc developed kit based on Hall effect current sensors, in order to have as accurate measures as possible. We sampled the values of power consumption at a frequency of 250 Hz by means of a NI USB-6210 DAQ (Data Acquisition Board). All the collected samples were then analyzed, aggregated and digitally stored by means of an ad-hoc tool called Virtual Instrument that we implemented with LabVIEW (Formenti and Gallazzi, 2009). | |
3 relevant challenge in IoT technologies is the amount of energy used by the vast number of devices6
4 MQTT under a high rate of messages per hour would be the best protocol for energy-efficient applications and HTTP would be the worst option3
7 Energy-saving proposals started mainly with hardware before considering software
9 MQTT under a high rate of messages per hour would be the best protocol for energy-efficient applications and HTTP would be the worst option2

Uni-T UT71D multimeter, used as a voltmeter, measures the voltage on the power supply. It is connected to the server for automatic measurements. Sampling time of the voltage measurement is 500 ms.
Fluke 289 multimeter, used to measure the voltage on a 0.4 Ω shunt (used as an ampere meter), connected to the server for automatic measurements. Sampling time of the voltage measurement on the shunt is 10 ms.15
We have employed the Otii Arc power measurement device for tracking energy consumption.5 This device can be used as both a power supply unit for the tested IoT device and a current and voltage measurement unit. It provides up to 5 V with a high-resolution current measurement with a sampling rate up to 4000 samples per second in the range from 1 μA to 5 A . To characterize the energy consumption associated with different NB-IoT operations, we need to ensure that the meter measurements correspond to the current drawn by the module only, and not to the entire dev-kit. When using SARA-N211-02B, this can be obtained by powering the module directly with the Otii Arc power measurement device. Quectel BC95 does not readily allow for a similar setup. In this case, we had to remove three resistors from the dev-kit and solder a zero-ohm resistor on the power path to isolate the module power supply from the dev-kit16
