- Abstract
- There has been much interest in a spatial query which acquires sensor readings from sensor nodes inside specified geographical area of interests. A centralized approach performs the spatial query at a server after acquiring all sensor readings. However, it incurs high wireless transmission cost in accessing all sensor nodes. Therefore, various in-network spatial search methods have been proposed, which focus on reducing the wireless transmission cost. However, the in-network methods sometimes incur unnecessary wireless transmissions because of dead space, which is spatially indexed but does not contain real data. In this paper, we propose a hybrid spatial query processing algorithm which removes the unnecessary wireless transmissions. The main idea of the hybrid algorithm is to find results of a spatial query at a server in advance and use the results in removing the unnecessary wireless transmissions at a sensor network. We compare the in-network method through several experiments and clarify our algorithm's remarkable features. Copyright © 2010 The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.
