  2. Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 2 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)‏

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

  9. Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 9 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.

  10. Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 10 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

  11. Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 11 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

Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 12 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

  13. Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 13 Federation = cooperation of a set of independentnetworks 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 Federations of PNs
