Abstract
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) plays a crucial role towards efficient industrial environments. IEEE 802.11/WiFi is key technology for IIoT, but it results in higher energy consumption, due to the size of transmitted packets and the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). Within this context, this paper presents a lightweight data compression approach to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted and the MTU, aiming to reduce energy consumption. Results from real experiments suggest that the proposed method reduces the energy consumption.
