Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) as the name suggests is a network of interconnected devices connected to the internet. There are lot of 802.15.4 network technologies in the market for current implementation of IoT, however, they have critical problems which is preventing IoT to become fully successful. Some of the issues are lack of interoperability, high power requirements, incompetency to use IPv6 communications and single point of failure systems. These issues led to the development of new networking technology called Thread. Thread is an IPv6-based wireless networking protocol built on open standards such as IEEE 802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN. It is designed for secure, low power 802.15.4 wireless mesh networks.
In this thesis, it is investigated whether Thread will be suitable for large-scale IoT lighting applications for Building and Home Automation systems.
