Abstract
This paper will present the specification of the solutions and mechanisms that support the creation of a Federation between Personal Networks that are located in the same area and thus can establish a direct link between each other. The idea behind the Personal Network concept is that the user’s personal devices organize themselves in a secure and private network independently of their geographical location or the access technologies used. Nevertheless, in order to fully exploit the benefits of this concept, it is necessary to complement it with the mechanisms that enable the interaction between several people with a shared objective (e.g. a hobby, common project, etc.). This concept of collaboration between several Personal Networks receives the name of Personal Network Federation. This collaboration can be established in multiple scenarios but in this paper the focus will be on the case in which clusters of nodes belonging to different users are located in the same area and they can establish links on peer-to-peer manner.
