IEEE 802.15.2-2003

To develop a Recommended Practice for an IEEE 802.15 Wireless Personal Area network that coexists with other selected wireless devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands. To suggest modifications to other IEEE 802.15 standard(s) to enhance coexistence with other selected wireless devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands. To suggest recommended practices for IEEE 802.11 devices to facilitate coexistence with IEEE 802.15 devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands.

Usage models exist that presume coexistence of IEEE 802.15 devices with other wireless devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands. The purpose of this project is to facilitate coexistence of IEEE 802.15 WPAN devices with selected other wireless devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands. The intended users of this recommended practice include IEEE 802 Wireless LAN developers as well as designers and consumers of wireless products being developed to operate in unlicensed frequency bands.

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. 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., IEEE Std 802.11b-1999) and wireless personal area networks (i.e., IEEE Std 802.15.1-2002).
