The MAGNET vision is that Personal Networks (PNs) will support users' professional and private activities, without being obtrusive and while safeguarding their privacy and security. APN may operate in both ad-hoc and infrastructure based networks and will be dynamic and diverse in composition, configuration and connectivity depending on time, place and circumstances as well as resources required, and last but not least preferred and/or needed co-operating partners.
The MAGNET mission is to enable commercially viable PNs that are attractive, affordable and beneficial for end-users in their everyday life. The MAGNET project constitutes a system approach to what is expected to be one of the most important telecom related growth markets of the future, Personal Area Network (PAN) style networking. MAGNET does not treat PAN networking in isolation: the concept is extended into that of a PN by interconnecting PANs with, in particular wireless wide area networks to access the rich services available on and trough these networks, including the interconnection to other PANs.
The project builds on significant advances in peer-to-peer networking, interworking with infrastructure-based networks, wireless technology for PN and security in networking and services. It provides R&D advances in PNs that include: 1) Architecture of PN, 2) Insight into business models for PNs and the related mobile data services in multi-network environments; 3) Network and inter-working issues both at the PN and the PAN level (e.g. resource and context discovery, self-organization, mobility management, addressing and routing, and, co-operation with infrastructures), 4) Low power, adaptive and configurable radio access sub systems and 5) Security for PNs.
