Timing: 2027-Q3 (Medium priority)
Liaison: ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC41, IEC SyC Smart Cities
Supporting members: NTRA Egypt, Cameroon (Republic of), Autorité de Régulation des Communications électroniques et des Postes (ARCEP) (Gabon), Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) (Zimbabwe), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) (Nigeria), Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) (Tanzania), Ministère de la Communication, des Technologies de l’Information et des Médias (Burundi)
Summary: This draft Recommendation aims to enable the interoperable and resilient deployment of decentralized energy harvesting IoT systems in environments with minimal infrastructure and limited access to continuous power. The draft Recommendation addresses: Energy-level coordination: Including real-time energy state reporting, role delegation (e.g., data aggregator or relay), and dynamic duty cycling. Protocol-level coordination: Specification of asynchronous communication methods, energy-aware routing, and decentralized data fusion under intermittent connectivity conditions. Decentralized system capabilities: Including lightweight synchronization, task reallocation, and local autonomy to ensure service continuity. Interoperability across heterogeneous IoT platforms and energy harvesting modules. Scalability and fault tolerance in off-grid, rural, or disaster-recovery scenarios. By developing a unified framework for decentralized energy harvesting IoT systems, this Recommendation enables the realization of sustainable, secure, and inclusive digital services in the world’s most underserved and challenging environments.
