The information era is coming. As a popular technology in the information age, Internet of Things (IoT) can collect various types of information in real time, realize the ubiquitous connection between things and people, and process the intelligent perception, identification, and management of things, processes, and information, and environment protection through various network access methods. Applying IoT to various fields is like wrapping the Earth with a layer of "digital skin" (Gubbi et al., 2013;Bauwens et al., 2020;Li and Da Xu, 2020). Moreover, under the trend of global warming, the emergence of the theme of Energy Saving and Emission Reduction (ESER) undoubtedly poses new challenges to the development of IoT.When IoT is widely used in various life scenarios, its main purpose is to provide intelligent services and environments. IoT applications can connect any sensing device to the Internet for data transmission, so as to realize intelligent identification, tracking, positioning, and monitoring of sensing devices. In addition, IoT contains many types of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), which, as a part of IoT sensing layer, can meet the actual needs of people to obtain reliable data in special environments (Sadowski and Spachos, 2020). WSN is a multi-hop network which is self-organized by many sensor nodes. It has the characteristics of flexibility, fault tolerance, high awareness, low cost, strong survivability, and fast layout. Therefore, IoT has a wide range of applications, such as environmental monitoring, agriculture, military, and medical care, and can collect, process, and disseminate collected data deployed in various environments (Aman et al., 2020;Fortino et al., 2020). However, for some special scenes, many sensor nodes are often placed in areas that cannot be accessed by human beings. While enjoying the convenience brought by WSN, people are also faced with the problems that illegal personnel obtain illegitimate interests by intercepting the monitoring data transmitted in the public channel. Therefore, the attention to security issues in IoT cannot be ignored.With the increasing commercial scope of 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) communication technology in cities, the application of IoT in power, construction, industry, intelligent transportation, agriculture, logistics, intelligence, high efficiency, and ESER is being promoted (Verma et al., 2020). Of course, applying IoT is also inseparable from the combination of 5G communication, Cloud Computing (CC), Edge Computing (EC), blockchain, AI, and other technologies. IoT can collect many data from the environment, effectively monitor, analyze, and manage energy consumption, and reasonably improve IoT by identifying and analyzing opportunities of energy efficiency improvement (Khan et al., 2020;Liao et al., 2020;Saračević et al., 2020).In summary, in today's high-speed 5G communication technology, IoT is widely applied, and guaranteeing its performance is of high significance. Therefore, taking the practical application of IoT...
