As more and more wireless devices use the 2.4?GHz radio spectrum, the coexistence of 2.4?GHz wireless devices operating in one place has become a hot topic. With low transmit power, the widely deployed IEEE?802.15.4-based networks are easily interfered with by other 2.4?GHz wireless networks, such as IEEE?802.11. IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless networks have paid great attention to the coexistence between themselves and with other non-IEEE?802.15.4 wireless networks. This problem has been further promoted by two new industry wireless standards, WirelessHART and ISA100, to meet special industry requirements. This paper surveys the studies on the coexistence between IEEE?802.11 and IEEE?802.15.4-based networks following the general analysis method of ââ?¬Å?question-analysis-solution.ââ?¬Â Based on the survey study, we discuss about some open research issues and developments in this field.
