In location-based routing, the network size is scalable without increasing the signalling overhead as routing decisions are inherently localized. Here, each node is aware of its position in the network through some positioning device like GPS and uses this information in the routing mechanism. In this paper, we first discuss the basics of WSNs including the architecture of the network, energy consumption for the components of a typical sensor node, and draw a detailed picture of classification of location-based routing protocols. Then, we present a systematic and comprehensive taxonomy of location-based routing protocols, mostly for sensor networks. All the schemes are subsequently discussed in depth. Finally, we conclude the paper with some insights on potential research directions for location-based routing in WSNs.展开更多

The study explores the applications of LBSN data by analyzing the association between Seoul’s Foursquare venues data created based on user participation and the city’s characteristics. The data regarding Foursquare venues were compiled with a program we created based on Foursquare’s Python API. The compiled information was converted into GIS data, which in turn was depicted as a heat map. Cluster analysis was then performed based on hotspots and the correlation with census variables was analyzed for each administrative unit using geographically weighted regression (GWR). Based on analytical results, we were able to identify venue clusters around city centers, as well as differences in hotspots for various venue categories and correlations with census variables.展开更多

This paper analyzes the concept and information characteristics of the ubiquitous map. Based on that, it proposes a ubiquitous map information organization model oriented to location-based aggregation. This new model includes three parts as “ubiquitous map instance”, “location-based aggregation mode” and “map scene”. This paper focuses on the “map scene” part which is the core of the model and contains two mutually mapped aspects as “content scene” and “representation scene”. And both aspects are divided into three levels as “features” ←→ “elements” ←→ “scenes” according to ubiquitous map information characteristics and location-based aggregation mode. With cases of map decomposition, the application of the model is explained to illustrate its effectiveness. The model is expected to provide powerful data organization and management capabilities for ubiquitous map production and use. </div>展开更多

GeoBI context modelling and reasoning are still research issues since there is not yet either a model or a relevant taxonomy regarding GeoBI contextual information. To fill this gap, this paper proposes an extended and detailed OWL-based mobile GeoBI context ontology to provide context-aware applications and users with relevant contextual information and context-based reasoning capabilities.

To be anonymous, Casper Cloak needs to search regional sibling and parent node, which requires a complex process and huge expenditure. In addition,the anonymous area has space redundancy and it is not accurate enough to achieve high Location-Based Services (LBS) quality. To address these problems,this paper proposes an improved privacy protection method-NCC, based on the Casper Cloak. To reduce the unnecessary search, NCC introduced the concept of the first sibling node. NCC also improves the LBS quality by considering the characteristics of user mobility. Moreover, the improved method,NCC, which is incorporated with a redundancy optimization processing strategy,realizing more precise in the anonymous area and accurately guaranteeing the related degree of privacy. Adopting NCC verification experiments reflects varied advantages as bellow: (1) By reducing 80% searching time, NCC highly improved searching process. (2) The anonymous area produced in NCC not only meet users' anonymous demands, but the direction of the mobility which improves 4 times accuracy of services in comparison with Casper mode.(3) According to optimization strategy, NCC can reach minimum anonymous area index, increasing the rates of anonymous optimization in original algorithm.展开更多
