As most of the location updates do not affect the query results, the network bandwidth and the battery life of moving objects are wasted. Existing solutions propose lazy updates, but such techniques generally avoid only a small fraction of all unnecessary location updates because of their basic approach （e.g., safe regions, time or distance thresholds）. Furthermore, most prior work focuses on a simplified scenario where queries are either static or rarely change their positions. In this study, two novel efficient location update strategies are proposed in a trajectory movement model and an arbitrary movement model, respectively. The first strategy for a trajectory movement environment is the Adaptive Safe Region （ASR） technique that retrieves an adjustable safe region which is continuously reconciled with the surrounding dynamic queries. The communication overhead is reduced in a highly dynamic environment where both queries and data objects change their positions frequently. In addition, we design a framework that supports multiple query types （e.g., range and c-kNN queries）. In this framework, our query re-evaluation algorithms take advantage of ASRs and issue location probes only to the affected data objects, without flooding the system with many unnecessary location update requests. The second proposed strategy for an arbitrary movement environment is the Partition-based Lazy Update （PLU, for short） algorithm that elevates this idea further by adopting Location Information Tables （LITs） which （a） allow each moving object to estimate possible query movements and issue a location update only when it may affect any query results and （b） enable smart server probing that results in fewer messages. We first define the data structure of an LIT which is essentially packed with a set of surrounding query locations across the terrain and discuss the mobile-side and server-side processes in correspondence to the utilization of LITs. Simulation results confirm that both the ASR and PLU concepts improve scalability and efficiency over existing methods.展开更多

Continuous queries are important in spatial-temporal reasoning of a MOD. The communication costs were the bottleneck for improving query efficiency until the rectangular safe region algorithm partly solved this problem. However, this algorithm can be further improved, as we demonstrate with the dynamic interval based continuous queries algorithm on moving objects. Two components, circular safe region and dynamic intervals were adopted by our algorithm. Theoretical proof and experimental results show that our algorithm substantially outperforms the traditional periodic monitoring and the rectangular safe region algorithm in terms of monitoring accuracy, reducing communication costs and server CPU time. Moreover, in our algorithm, the mobile terminals do not need to have any computational ability.展开更多

After comprehensive analysis of location-based continuous query privacy protection models, a model that can solve the user service delay problem is proposed, which can provide the users with quasi-real time location-based services. The experiment measures the N-DCM model with multiple dimensions, such as service response time and service quality of standard datasets. The experiment results show that the method is suitable for continuous query location privacy protection and can effectively protect the user’s location privacy.展开更多

In existing literatures, a data model called moving objects sptio-temporal (MOST) is proposed and a new location record is generated when the distance between the actual location and the database location of a moving object exceeds a pre-defined distance threshold. In a mobile computing environment, a user can issue location-dependent continuous queries (LDCQs). To cater for the large number of moving objects in the system, this paper first gives a hierarchical distributed location database model to store the locations of moving objects. Based on the distribution of the location databases for different moving objects, this paper then proposes a method to determine the processing site for a location-dependent query. When a LDCQ is processed, a set of tuples <O, begin, end> Is provided indicating that object O satisfies the condition presented in the LDCQ from time begin to end. In the existing literatures, when there is a location update generation, the related LDCQ is re-processed and the answering tuples are re-transmitted via the wireless channel. This location-update-based LDCQ processing method has its disadvantages: it has much CPU calculation cost and imposes a high overhead in the wireless bandwidth which is very undesirable In a wirelss environment. Based on the maximal speed of a moving object, this paper presents a deferred LDCQ evaluation strategy.展开更多
