This thesis analyses and catalogues current day Internet of Things (IoT) protocols in relation to their relevancy to different mesh networking technologies. A large number of protocols are today proposed for different specific applications in the IoT field, but only a few of them have mesh networking integrated as an inherent feature of the respective protocol stacks. The aim of this thesis is to provide understanding of underlying technologies and narrow down the wide field of currently available main technologies.
This thesis reviews openly available documentation and other online material on different protocols and describes their relative strengths and weaknesses. This review also shows how different protocols and their major design choices have affected the popularity and vitality of their respective development ecosystems.
The findings are that, while there certainly exists a large number of more or less specialised protocols utilised in the field, the development and support investments have made only a few protocols which are relatively widely adopted.
In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates and presents the benefits offered by a lightweight mesh connected sensor network in an automotive application. In successfully implementing this, it is shown that the benefits are real and easily obtainable.
