Mobile wearable devices communications create new challenges compared to ordinary sensor networks and short range communication. In mobile wearable communications, wearable devices communicate with each other in a Peer-to-Peer fashion or client-server fashion and also communicate with aggregation points (e.g. smartphones, tablet devices and gateways nodes). Wearable devices are expected to integrate multiple radio technologies for multiple applications needs with small power consumption and low transmission delays. These devices can hence collect, interpret, transmit and exchange data among supporting components, other wearable devices and the Internet. Data are not limited to people’s personal biomedical data but they also include human-centric social and context data. The success of mobile wearable communications depends on communication and networking architectures that support efficient and secure end-to-end information flows. Akey design consideration of future wearable devices is to ubiquitously connect to smart phones or Internet with very-low energy consumption. Radio propagation and accordingly channel models may be vastly different from those in existing wireless technologies.A huge number of connected wearable devices require novel big data processing algorithms, efficient storage solutions, cloud-assisted infrastructures, and spectrum-efficient communications technologies. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality articles that report the latest research advances on mobile wearable communications, including various topics of interest, but not limited to:
* Wireless wearable communications architectures and systems * Radio propagation, channel modeling, interference management and physical layer techniques * Sensor, actuator, M2M, relay, and NFC for wireless wearable communications * Mobile cloud architectures and services for wearable communications and networking * Big data processing in wearable networking * Energy-efficiency, spectrum-efficiency, QoS, robustness, and fault-tolerance * Context-aware (e.g., social, location, time) design * Security, trust, and privacy management * Performance analysis, model, optimization, monitoring, and control * Novel applications and services, e.g., wireless wearable communications for eHealth, sport, fitness, transport safety, location-based services, and crowd sensing * Standardization and regulations for wireless wearable communications and networking
