IEEE Std 802.15.2™-2003 Part 15.2: Coexistence of Wireless Personal Area Networks with Other Wireless Devices Operating in Unlicensed Frequency Bands -Description

Abstract: This recommended practice addresses the issue of coexistence of wireless local area networks and wireless personal area networks. These wireless networks often operate in the same unlicensed band. This recommended practice describes coexistence mechanisms that can be used to facilitate coexistence of wireless local area networks (i.e., 802.11b™-1999) and wireless personal area networks (i.e., 802.15.1™-2002).

Keywords: coexistence, collaborative, collocated, interference, mechanisms, non-collaborative, WLAN, WPAN
