IoTSP: Thread Mesh vs Other Widely used Wireless Protocols xe2x80x93 Comparison and use Cases Study Nowadays, wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices are considered as an integral part of home and industrial automation systems or environmental monitoring. In recent years, many new wireless protocols based on various hardware and software solutions have been developed and introduced into the market. In this publication, a comparison of Thread mesh with Bluetooth Mesh, ZigBee, NBIoT, Sigfox and LoRa is shown. Smart Home, Smart City and Rural area requirements for wireless connectivity are analyzed. In addition, the usability of the Thread and others in the Internet of Things, Services and People (IoTSP) applications is considered. The Thread protocol is based on IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard featuring 2.4 GHz radio connectivity. The paper also describes examples of applications created during study of Thread. The Presented solution is based on NRF52840 SoC (System on chip) and OpenThread  the opensource software implementation of the Thread protocol stack.

The King is Dead Long Live the King! Towards Systematic Performance Evaluation of Heterogeneous Bluetooth Mesh Networks in Real World Environments Wireless networks based on Bluetooth mesh (BM) promise a variety of Internet of Things applications from healthcare monitoring to smart buildings. BM introduces a novel network concept that supports up to 32767 devices and 127 hops. So far no readily available dataset or toolset exists to perform systematic indepth performance analysis of this standard.In this paper, we present insights on the performance and practical usability of BM. We conduct realistic smart office experiments with heterogeneous devices distributed throughout an area of approximately 1100m2. By varying network parameters and BM node features, we collect the first public available BM dataset. Based on our experience, the use of current implementations is errorprone due to the complexity of BM. To facilitate researchers to conduct further experiments, we propose a toolset to configure and systematically evaluate BM performance. Finally we discuss several pitfalls that should be avoided in designing and deploying such networks.
