Abstract

This book builds on the achievements of the EU-funded projects MAGNET and MAGNET Beyond in the area of personal area networks and related technologies. Wireless connectivity has already enabled computer users to profit from a new convenient mobile lifestyle. Consumers are now demanding the same simplicity throughout their homes, connecting personal computers (PCs), personal digital recorders, MP3 recorders and players, and every kind of digital and electronic devices to each other in versatile domestic wireless personal area networks (WPAN) and also the possibility to be connected with any body area networks (WBAN) if needed. However, current wireless local area network (WLAN) and WPAN technologies cannot yet meet the needs of tomorrow’s connectivity for the host of emerging consumer electronic devices that offer full mobility while requiring low power, quality of service (QoS) and security. So, as computing, communications and consumer applications converge to provide domestic consumers with extensive new services in an intelligent ambient environment, there is an urgent need to develop short-range user-centered wireless networks. This challenge was undertaken by the EU-funded IST projects MAGNET and MAGNET Beyond.
