Zhiqiang Zou, Y. Wang, Bing Hu, Runfeng Wang · Procedia Engineering · 2012

Overlay networks are used widely in the Internet, such as retrieval and share of files, multimedia games and so on. However, in distributed system, the retrieval and share of 2-dimension spatial data still have some difficult problems and can not solve the complex retrieval of 2-dimension spatial data efficiently. This article presents a new indexing overlay networks, named 2D-Ring, which is the ring topology based on gossip for 2-dimension spatial data. The peers in our overlay networks exchange the information periodically and update each local view by constructing algorithm. 2-dimension spatial data is divided by quad-tree and mapped into control points, which are hashed into 2D-Ring by SHA-1 hash function. In such way, the problem of 2-dimension spatial data indexing is converted to the problem of searching peers in the 2D-Ring. A large of extensive experiments show that the time complexity of constructing algorithm of 2D-Ring can reach convergence logarithmically as a function of the network size and hold higher hit rate and lower query delay.
