Technology solutions must effectively balance economic growth, social equity, and environmental integrity to achieve a sustainable society. Notably, although the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm constitutes key sustainability enabler, critical issues such as increasing maintenance operations, energy consumption, manufacturing/disposal IoT devices have long-term negative economic, societal, impacts be efficiently addressed. This calls for self-sustainable ecosystems requiring minimal external resources intervention, utilizing renewable sources, recycling materials whenever possible, thus encompassing sustainability. In this work, we focus on energy-sustainable during operation phase, our discussions sometimes extend other aspects lifecycle phases. Specifically, provide fresh look at identify provision, transfer, efficiency three main energy-related processes whose harmonious coexistence pushes toward realizing systems. Their related technologies, recent advances, challenges, research directions are also discussed. Moreover, overview relevant performance metrics assess energy-sustainability potential certain technique, technology, device, or network, together with target values next generation wireless systems, discuss protocol, integration, implementation issues. Overall, paper offers insights that valuable advancing goals present future generations.
