Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a coordinator device having a memory, and a controller. The memory can have computer instructions, which when executed by the controller, causes the controller to facilitate establishing a first virtual personal area network with a first sensor by executing computer instructions associated with a first application profile, and facilitate establishing a second virtual personal area network with a second sensor by executing computer instructions associated a second application profile. The first application profile can be defined by a first protocol specification, while the second application profile can be defined by a second protocol specification. The first protocol specification can also be operationally distinct from the second protocol specification. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n providing, by a processing system including a processor, a communication interface including a physical layer and a medium access control layer, wherein a first virtual personal area network (VPAN) associated with a first sensor and a second VPAN associated with a second sensor share the medium access control layer and the physical layer of the communication interface to communicate with the first sensor and the second sensor; and providing, by the processing system, access to the communication interface by the first VPAN and the second VPAN according to one of a first arbitration scheme and a second arbitration scheme, wherein in accordance with the first arbitration scheme, asynchronous and asymmetric access to the communication interface is provided to the first VPAN and the second VPAN, and wherein in accordance with the second arbitration scheme, synchronous and symmetric access to the communication interface is provided to the first VPAN and the second VPAN.
