Ubiquitous data-centric sensor networks (U-DCSN) are a new integrated science and technology, which focus on data instead of individual sensor nodes. The network, as a dynamic database system, can accurately acquire data, perform high-performance processing of big data, and effectively access data from different users/actuators. Due this characteristic, U-DCSN hold huge potentials on service improvement in a wide range of applications and have attracted significant attention in recent years, for example, mobile cloud and consumer electronics. The modern mobile cloud, comprised of mobile devices (smart phones, tablets, and embedded sensor nodes), provides unlimited information resources, putting “cloud into a pocket.” To satisfy a wide spectrum of composite applications, the dynamic network structure with heterogeneous wireless terminals requires the mobile cloud to have efficient and high fault-tolerant data transmitting and processing capability.
