Sampling is a core process in IoT systems. It deter-mines the data volume circulating within the network as well as the energy consumption on the IoT devices. Adaptive sampling aims to control the volume of generated data to reduce energy and bandwidth consumption without undermining data quality. Within this context, we propose two new adaptive sampling techniques: a light-weight adaptive sampling algorithm and an optimized uniform sampling method. We tested our methods using various real data-sets and compared their performances against state-of-the-art adaptive sampling algorithms in terms of data quality and data volume. The results show that the proposed methods are consistently among the best with a noticeable reduction in computational load.
