This paper presents a comprehensive survey on energy conserving issues and solutions in using diverse wireless radio access technologies for IoT connectivity, e.g., the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) machine type communications, IEEE 802.11ah, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Z-Wave. We look into the literature in broad areas of standardization, academic research, and industry development, and structurally summarize the energy conserving solutions based on several technical criteria. We also propose future research directions regarding energy conserving issues in wireless networking-based IoT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s151024818","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,28]],"date-time":"2015-09-28T03:02:55Z","timestamp":1443409375000},"page":"24818-24847","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":102,"title":["A Survey on Energy Conserving Mechanisms for the Internet of Things: Wireless Networking Aspects"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Zeeshan","family":"Abbas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics Engineering, Dong-A University, Busan 604-714, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wonyong","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics Engineering, Dong-A University, Busan 604-714, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1109\/JIOT.2014.2306328","article-title":"Internet of Things for Smart Cities","volume":"1","author":"Zanella","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Int.
