ABSTRACT
In the past two decades, one of the fastest-growing research areas has been wireless communication and network. Signicant progress has been made in the elds of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and wireless sensor network (WSN) [Lin, 2012; Wu, 2011]. More recently, the cyber-physical system (CPS) has emerged as a promising direction to enrich human-tohuman, human-to-object, and object-to-object interactions in the physical world as well as in the virtual world. Apparently, CPS would adopt and even nurture the areas of MANET and WSN because more sensor inputs and richer network connectivity may be needed.
