802.15.4 and Bluetooth Mesh could be quite different (broadcast mesh vs routed mesh). I would suggest to have a look at the Bluetooth Mesh Spec (Mesh profile) and our getting started guide here.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I already made a prototype with this function using SAMR21 from Atmel with 802.15.4-Mesh. Now i looked at the code of the light Switch example and i dont find the way into it. Bluetooth-mesh seems to be far mor complicated. What's the best way to learn more about it, so i can implement the code?

We don't have an example does exactly what you ask.

It's possible to modify the light switch example to do so. You can have just one server and serveral clients to send data to that one server. It's simply to set the publication address of the client to the unicast address of the server, or the subscription address of the server.

Note that it's not obligated to use the client-server model. You can always use access layer directly to send and receive data.
