From Personal Area Networks
to Personal Networks
Personal Area Network (PAN)
Network connecting devices in the close vicinity of a
person/personal entity → local scope
Personal Network (PN)
Overlay network on network infrastructure in reach connecting
devices of a person/private entity independent of their location
• User centred
• Secure and trustworthy
• Virtual vicinity of local and remote devices
• Self-organisation of network connections
• Heterogeneity of technologies
Some Predictions
• By 2010: 40 percent of all potentially networkable electronic or electromechanical devices
will be connected (Harbor)
• 1000 wireless devices/person by 2017 (WWRF)

Ecma TC32 activities on
Personal Networks
Decision to start a TC32 Editor Group on ‘Personal
Networks and their Federations (PNF)’ in August 2008
Chartered to produce four Technical Reports on
analysing standardization needs:
•
Umbrella TR, editor E. Onur, TU Delft
•
Networking TR , editor M. Jacobsson, TU Delft
•
Enabling Services TR, editor tbd ,
•
Federations.TR, editor tbd
Collaboration with TC32-TG17 (IP-based Communications)
Involved companies/organisations:
• TU Delft, IBBT, CSEM, TNO, SEN

Need for PN&F
• Environment of potentially wireless connected mobile
equipment around the use, ever increasing and very
dynamic in nature
• User having with-me and not-with-me, at home, in the
car, in the office, in the 2nd home . . .
• Need for a simple and secure way of sharing resources
with colleagues, business partners, friends, family
members, etc.

What PN&F provides
• PN brings the with-me and not-with-me together (when
physically and economically possible)
• PN handles the dynamic aspects of the local and non local
devices, and presents an abstracted simplified image to
the outside world (a complex terminal with fixed and
variable capabilities)
• PN Federation provide a simple and secure method to
share resources with a given user or group of users

PN&F relevance and the relation with
service providers
•
The PN can provide to a service provider a stable abstraction
with a defined quality of service, that allows the service
provider a simpler and more stable working environment than
the dynamic user and or home network environment
•
The PN provides to a telecom service provider in addition the
possibilities to provide services like:
•
Interconnection of PN clusters
•
Management
•
Data and/or network back/up services
•
The PN can be for the mobile environment what the
combination of router (with NAT) - LAN/Wireless-LAN has done
for xDSL: the connection of simple home networks
•
PN includes ‘peer-to-peer’ networking within the PN, Federation
adds secured ‘peer-to-peer’ networking across PNs

11
PN&F applications in the
eHealth domain
• BAN architecture (body area network with sensors and
device taking on gateway function)
• Near person networks, e.g. for tele-monitoring
• Organisation of home network infrastructure with
overlay(s) for eHealth applications
• eHealth / eWellness applications

12
Federations of PNs
• Federation = cooperation of a set of independent networks
under mutually agreed rules for cooperation
• Overall authority only for the time and purpose of the
federation. Examples:
•
•
•
•
Sharing personal resources
•
Emergency networks
•
Virtual meeting
•
Virtual education
Use of a subset of the total resources
Driven by purpose or by opportunity
Full ad hoc or with support from infrastructure
