Power conservative multi-attribute queries on data broadcast
Qicheng Hu, W.C. Lee, Dik Lun Lee · 2002
Studies power conservation techniques for multi-attribute queries on wireless data broadcast channels. Indexing data on broadcast channels can improve the client filtering capability, while clustering and scheduling can reduce both the access time and the tune-in time. Thus, indexing techniques should be coupled with clustering and scheduling methods to reduce the battery power consumption of mobile computers. In this study, three indexing schemes for multi-attribute queries, namely the index tree, signature and hybrid index, are discussed. We develop cost models for these three indexing schemes and evaluate their performance based on multi-attribute queries on wireless data broadcast channels.
