Abstract

The proliferation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) fuels internet of things (IoT's) rapid global development, connecting diverse devices. IoT transforms devices into intelligent entities delivering exceptional services. This work addresses IoT authentication gaps through a comprehensive survey, analyzing recent works and exploring techniques in various applications. It includes a comparative analysis of authentication schemes, evaluating Bi-Phase authentication scheme (BAS) in WSNs. BAS outperforms sensor protocol for information via negotiation (SPIN), broadcast session key protocol (BROSK), and localized encryption and authentication protocol (LEAP), resulting in lower energy consumption and higher efficiency. With energy efficiency at 60 Kb/J for 25 nodes, BAS focuses on power optimization and lightweight security measures, reducing energy consumption, maximizing efficiency, and extending WSN lifespan. The evaluation, conducted using MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrates BAS's superiority, achieving 10 J, 12 J, 14 J, and 15 J energy consumption for 25 nodes during simulation, showcasing its effectiveness and future potential in advancing IoT authentication.

Abstract

Current literature reviews on machine learning-based approaches for mobile edge computing (MEC) energy optimization often lack in-depth gap analysis and fail to identify trends or offer actionable insights. Most focus narrowly on comparing MEC frameworks without critically evaluating or benchmarking prior research. This review contributes by addressings these gaps via analysis of existing reviews and related studies, with a focus on ML models, research objectives, evaluation metrics, datasets, tools, and gap identification. The review method follows a systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework for transparency and reproducibility. Key findings reveal persistent challenges in energy consumption, computational overhead, cost, and poor performance in accuracy, QoS, latency, scalability, and carbon footprint. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) emerges as the most commonly used model (55%), while TensorFlow (35%) is the most adopted tool, valued for its flexibility and robust community support. The AudioSet dataset is frequently used (28%) due to its compatibility. However, methodology limitations include dependency on study quality and exclusion of grey literature, context sensitivity. The review concludes by recommending advanced solutions such as serverless computing, liquid cooling, containerization, software-defined power, quantum computing, and blockchain to drive future MEC energy optimization.
