Abstract

A Personal Network (PN) is created when the various private networks of a single user are always seamlessly interconnected, despite the mobility of the user. To realize this vision we have designed an architecture of a simple, concrete example of such a PN. It consists of just a home network and a Personal Area Network (PAN), which are interconnected directly or via an intermediate public network. From a set of requirements deduced from a typical usage scenario we conclude that Bluetooth as a PAN technology is not sufficient to extend the PAN to a PN. HiperLAN/2 can add the desired extra functionality. Furthermore, UPnP and MobileIP should be used as middleware for autoconfiguration, service discovery and mobility management. Proper functioning of UPnP can only be guaranteed if tunnels are used between the PAN and the home network. User-friendly operation then requires an Automatic Tunnel Setup Protocol to be developed.
