## Protocols and Networks

### Physical layer

#### <img width="50" src="http://www.ieee802.org/15/pub/ieee802-15%20logo.jpg" /> - [802.15.4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.15.4) (IEEE)

IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard that specifies the physical layer and media access control for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). It is maintained by the IEEE 802.15 working group, which defined it in 2003. It is the basis for the ZigBee, ISA100.11a, WirelessHART, and MiWi specifications, each of which further extends the standard by developing the upper layers which are not defined in IEEE 802.15.4. Alternatively, it can be used with 6LoWPAN and standard Internet protocols to build a wireless embedded Internet. - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.15.4)

> IEEE standard 802.15.4 intends to offer the fundamental lower network layers of a type of wireless personal area network (WPAN) which focuses on low-cost, low-speed ubiquitous communication between devices. It can be contrasted with other approaches, such as Wi-Fi, which offer more bandwidth and require more power. The emphasis is on very low cost communication of nearby devices with little to no underlying infrastructure, intending to exploit this to lower power consumption even more.

#### <img width="50" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/BluetoothLogo.svg/770px-BluetoothLogo.svg.png" /> - [Bluetooth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth) (Bluetooth Special Interest Group)

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs). Invented by telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994, it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization. - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth)

> Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which has more than 25,000 member companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking, and consumer electronics.

#### <img width="50" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Bluetooth_Smart_Logo.svg/241px-Bluetooth_Smart_Logo.svg.png" /> - [Bluetooth Low Energy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy) (Bluetooth Special Interest Group)

Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth LE, BLE, marketed as Bluetooth Smart) is a wireless personal area network technology designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group aimed at novel applications in the healthcare, fitness, beacons, security, and home entertainment industries. - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy)
