A Survey on Energy Management for Mobile and IoT Devices

Editor’s notes: Mobile and IoT devices have proliferated our daily lives. However, these miniaturized computing systems should be highly energy-efficient due to their ultrasmall form factor. Hence, energy management is of utmost importance for both mobile and IoT devices. This article presents a comprehensive survey on this topic. —Partha Pratim Pande, Washington State University
