The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming industries and daily life by connecting billions of devices, yet its growth presents significant energy efficiency challenges. This paper explores strategies to address these challenges by investigating energy harvesting techniques and low-power communication protocols. Energy harvesting methods, including solar, kinetic, and thermal energy, offer sustainable alternatives to traditional battery-powered IoT devices, reducing dependency on non-renewable resources and enabling longer operational lifetimes. Simultaneously, low-power communication protocols such as ZigBee, LoRa WAN, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) optimize energy consumption during data transmission, one of the most power-intensive activities in IoT networks. A comprehensive analysis reveals that hybrid approaches combining energy harvesting and optimized communication protocols significantly enhance the energy efficiency of IoT systems. For example, integrating solar harvesting with LoRa WAN enables devices to achieve operational lifespans exceeding five years without battery replacement, while BLE paired with kinetic energy harvesting proves ideal for wearables. The study identifies key limitations, such as the variability of ambient energy sources and trade-offs in protocol performance, and suggests future research directions, including multi-source energy harvesting and intelligent protocol selection. This work contributes to the advancement of sustainable IoT solutions, paving the way for scalable and environmentally friendly IoT deployments.

Keywords: IoT, energy harvesting, low-power communication protocols, sustainability, ambient energy sources
