[...] Well, the point is that, as other folks have already explained: - Bluetooth and 802.15.4 are *not* variants of the same thing. - Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.15.4 are *not* variants of the same thing. The "802.15" prefix in the spec. code (which only applies to some of the first Bluetooth versions, and e.g. *not* to BLE) may lead you to confusion. The analogy with 802.11 variants (as in your example) cannot be done here.
