Abstract

Napredak tehnologije bežičnih senzorskih mreža omogućuje sve zornije praćenje aktivnosti sportaša u svrhu postizanja boljih rezultata. Budući da je često takvoj mreži potrebno samostalno (re)konfiguriranje i otpornost na ispadanje čvorova, najprikladnija je mesh topologija mreže. Njome je moguće propagirati poruke između čvorova koji nisu fizički povezani. Trenutno se mogu izdvojiti tri najznačajnija protokola mesh mreža: Bluetooth Mesh, ZigBee i Thread. OpenThread implementacija Thread protokola zahvaljujući IPv6 adresiranju, otvorenosti kôda i podršci industrije ima veliki potencijal u daljnjem razvoju i zauzimanju tržišta. U radu su istražene mogućnosti OpenThread implementacije na nRF52840 integriranom sklopu. Kroz praktično istraživanje i dodatne dostupne materijale utvrđeno je da je OpenThread protokol prikladan za primjenu za praćenje sportaša, a i da daje bolje rezultate u odnosu na druge mesh protokole u brojnim primjenama.

Abstract (english)

The advancements in the field of wireless sensor network technology allows better tracking of players' activity in order to achieve better results. Since it is often necessary for such networks to perform (re)configuration and have node failure resilience, the most appropriate network topology is mesh network. This topology allows propagation of messages between nodes that are not physically connected. At the moment there are three most important mesh networking protocols: Bluetooth Mesh, Zigbee, and Thread. OpenThread implementation of Thread protocol thanks to IPv6 addressing, open source, and industry support, has a great potential in further development and taking significant market share. This thesis explores the possibilities of OpenThread implementation on nRF52840 integrated circuit. Through the practical research and studying of additional available sources, it was concluded that OpenThread protocol is suitable for application of players' activitiy tracking and that it offers better characteristcs than competing mesh network protocols in various use cases.
