Review of the present technologies concurrently contributing to the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm: RFID, Green Electronics, WPT and Energy Harvesting This paper summarizes the most important technologies, concurrently participating to build the technological platform needed for a realistic implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. At the present state of the evolution of IoT, these technologies are mostly: Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID), Green Electronics (GE), Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) and Energy Harvesting (EH). This contribution briefly explains the reason for that, and shows a collection of scientific contributions which can be seen as examples. The deep description of the proposed systems can be found in the relative referenced papers.
