Abstract

A personal area network (PAN) is the interconnection of devices for information technology within the range of a single person, characteristically within a range of 10 m, and is typically coupled with wireless links and hence called wireless PAN (WPAN). These devices could be Bluetooth-based or ZigBee, or even new near-field communication components as pico-networks.
