Network assistance platform for saving power consumption of IoT devices and set-top boxes

In this paper, network assistance platform is proposed for saving power consumption of IoT (Internet of Things) devices that includes set-top boxes. The platform enables a server and smart device (e.g., smartphone) to monitor and control operation modes of the IoT devices. If IoT devices consume a large amount of power, the server or smart device can switch the IoT devices' operation mode to low-power mode (e.g., Passive Standby), and thus the IoT devices' power consumption can be reduced. In this paper, architecture and implementation of the network assistance platform are explained.
