Performance analysis of an adaptive query processing strategy for mobile computing
Hajime Shibata, Masahiko Tsukamoto, Shojiro Nishio · 2002
We consider query processing strategies which operates over mobile network protocols. To begin with, we introduce five fundamental location update methods. They are the single broadcast notification (SBN), the double broadcast notification (WBN), the single default notification (SDN), the double default notification (WDN), and the no notification (NN). Then, we propose an adaptive query processing strategy where these five location update methods can be dynamically selected. Moreover, we analyze the performance of this adaptive query processing strategy via the Markov chain. We also use the statistical approach to estimate the traffic of individual hosts. Finally, we show the efficiency of our proposed strategy over a wide area of system environments.
