| Overview |
| ******** |
| IEEE 802.15.4 is a technical standard which defines the operation of low-rate |
| wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). For more detailed overview of this |
| standard, see this |
| `IEEE 802.15.4 Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.15.4>`_. |
| Also, see `IEEE GET Program |
| <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/browse/standards/get-program/page/series?id=68>`_ |
| for creating an IEEE account and downloading the specification. |
| |
| Zephyr supports IEEE 802.15.4 with Thread and 6LoWPAN. The Thread implementation |
| is based on `OpenThread <https://openthread.io/>`_. |
| The IPv6 header compression in 6LoWPAN is shared with |
| the Bluetooth IPSP (IP support profile). |
