Abstract
The present invention provides a communication method and device in personal area network, the method for communication between device in a PAN includes: a central device in the PAN receives from a first device in the PAN a communication request for communication with a second device in the PAN; the central device authenticates the first device and the second device; and a point-to-point connection is established between the first device and the second device. Since no access to the access network and the core network is needed during security authentication, thus reducing the signaling traffic of the access network and the core network.
