I was curious how Thread compares with ZigBee in power usage. One white paper I found suggests that Thread uses slightly less power. E.g., for a device on a CR2032 battery sending a packet every minute, with ZigBee they estimate the battery lasting 1.38 years vs 1.49 years with Thread. https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nwp_039.pdf https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nwp_039.pdf But another white paper at https://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra595/swra595.pdf https://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra595/swra595.pdf has them the other way around, by about the same amount. Either way I guess it's close.
