I am currently evaluating technologies for a project requiring stable communications over somewhat short distances but with a very high node density.
I am interested in what Thread has to offer but for it to have any chance to work reliably, I need TSCH support which is port of the 802.15.4e specification. On NXP's presentation of the KW21Z family, I cannot see which version of the 802.15.4 specification is implemented at the PHY and MAC layer.
Does your implementation of Thread (if supplying all network layers) or 802.15.4 MAC support TSCH in any way, shape or form?
thank you
The 802.15.4-based stacks use the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 version. The KW21Z does provision support for 802.15.4e but there's currently not software enablement.
