WPAN in WSN: Definition, Technologies, and Applications

WPAN stands for Wireless Personal Area Network. It's a type of wireless network used in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) to connect sensors and devices located in close proximity to each other. WPANs typically use short-range wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Zigbee, or NFC (Near Field Communication) to transmit data between devices. WPANs are commonly used in home automation, healthcare monitoring, and industrial control systems.
