通道探測/PAwR巧扮生力軍　藍牙6.0/Mesh 1.1大拓應用範疇
https://www.2cm.com.tw/2cm/zh-tw/headline/28131C403381409597D802D7E9641FD8

藍牙Mesh 1.1加入了多項新特性，旨在簡化網路的設定和維護，降低成本，同時提升性能、安全性和可擴展性。以下為新版藍牙Mesh標準的重點摘要：
* 遠端配置(Remote Provisioning)
允許從單一位置將新設備新增到網路中，對於大規模部署特別實用。在先前的標準版本中，需要在設備的無線電範圍內進行供應，這意謂著需要人員親自到場調試設備。
* 基於證書的配置(Certificate-Based Provisioning)
透過在發放過程中使用數位憑證對設備進行認證來增強安全性。確保只有授權的設備才能加入網路，提供額外的安全層。此一特性在與遠端配置結合使用時特別有用，因為可以以最少的使用者交互實現設備的安全批量調試。
* 網狀網路裝置韌體更新(DFU)
該功能標準化了藍牙Mesh網路中的韌體更新過程，並允許Mesh網路中設備韌體的高效空中(OTA)更新。該標準還定義了一個BLOB(Binary Large Object)協定，使用多播和單播訊息傳遞有效地將韌體傳遞到要更新的節點。此功能對於維護大型網路特別有用，例如用於商業大樓自動化的網路。
* 子網橋接(Subnet Bridging)
該功能保留了包括子網的能力，以實現區域隔離，同時簡化網路複雜性。由於每個子網使用唯一的安全金鑰，因此子網橋接既提高了網路的安全性，又提高了網路的效率。在預設情況下，消息不會在子網之間轉發。
* 定向轉發(Directed Forwarding)
該特性允許中繼節點建立從來源到目的地的直接路徑，進而提高了消息傳遞效率。此多跳方法減少了所需的跳數，進一步提升了網路性能。

## Matter Application Exampe (Weather Application)
This Matter weather station application demonstrates the usage of the :ref:`Matter <ug_matter>` application layer to build a weather station device using the Nordic Thingy:53.
Such a device lets you remotely gather different kinds of data using the device sensors, such as temperature, air pressure, and relative humidity.
The device works as a Matter accessory device, meaning it can be paired and controlled remotely over a Matter network built on top of a low-power, 802.15.4 Thread or 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) network.
You can use this application as a reference for creating your own application.

The application uses a single button for controlling the device state.
The weather station device is periodically performing temperature, air pressure, and relative humidity measurements.
The measurement results are stored in the device memory and can be read using the Matter controller.
The controller communicates with the weather station device over the Matter protocol using Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL).
The library describes data measurements within the proper clusters that correspond to the measurement type.

The application supports over-the-air (OTA) device firmware upgrade (DFU) using one of the two following protocols:

* Matter OTA update protocol that uses the Matter operational network for querying and downloading a new firmware image.
* Simple Management Protocol (SMP) over Bluetooth LE.
In this case, the DFU can be done either using a smartphone application or a PC command line tool.
Note that this protocol is not part of the Matter specification.

In both cases, MCUboot secure bootloader is used to apply the new firmware image.
For information about how to upgrade the device firmware using a PC or a mobile, see the :ref:`matter_weather_station_app_dfu` section.
