The IEEE standard that specifies the protocol for Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) is IEEE 802.3. This standard outlines the specifications for Ethernet networks, including the CSMA/CD (Collision Detection) protocol used in wired Ethernet systems. It defines how devices on a network should manage access to the shared communication medium to minimize collisions and ensure efficient data transmission.

A wireless sensor network can use any suitable standard or non-standard protocol. Commonly used protocols include ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) and other members of the IEEE 802.15 protocol family.
The IEEE 801.11 standards describe the specifications for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. The main 802.11 standards currently in effect are: 802.11 802.11a 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n The Bluetooth protocol, which is also wireless is a proprietary protocol and not governed by IEEE.

According to IEEE the 802STANDARD is used for LAN Standard.
The IEEE standard for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) is defined by IEEE 802.11i. This security protocol enhances wireless network security by implementing advanced encryption methods, primarily using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data protection. WPA2 also introduces the use of a robust key management system, ensuring secure authentication of users on the network. It is widely used to protect personal and enterprise wireless networks.
it is a Medium Access Protocol (MAC) for wireless LAN's. it allows multiple wireless devices to communicate with each other without interfering with each other signals (too much). it is based on CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access, collision avoidance), as opposed to using a strict schedule for transmission times. you can search for IEEE's webpage for more information

There is nothing to be compatible with. Wireless A (IEEE 802.11a) was the first standard of the IEEE 802.11 standard.
