Typical wearable devices use a dedicated mobile phone as relay node to transfer the collected sensor data toa server. However, such relay nodes can be faulty or inactive due to various reasons, leading to interruptions of the communication link. To mitigate this challenge, we propose anovel security-enhanced emergency situation detection system, where 3rd party unknown […]
