The goal of my research was to investigate the interference between Wi-Fi and ZigBee wireless networks, specifically measuring the effects of Wi-Fi traffic on ZigBee packet integrity. I expected to find the greatest level of interference on the ZigBee channels which overlapped with the channels used by Wi-Fi in the 2.4GHz radio frequency band.
