IEEE 802.15.4 Thread Mesh Network – Data Transmission in Harsh Environment

Abstract

the goal of the publication is to describe outcome form environmental tests of wireless Thread mesh network which was designed for indoor environment monitoring. The sensor is based on NRF52840 SoC (System on Chip) and allows to monitor parameters like: temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and light luminescence. For implementation of wireless communication OpenThread Thread protocol stack was used. All test were set in office building, where the harsh environmental condition, generated by hundreds of wire and wireless devices create perfect test place for verifying network reliability. The paper contains description of hardware and software solution, tests setup and outcomes concluded from collected data.
