As random access memory chip gets cheaper, it becomes affordable to realize main memory-based database systems. The disk-based spatial indexing techniques, however, cannot direct apply to main memory databases, because the main purpose of disk-based techniques is to reduce the number of disk accesses. In main memory-based indexing techniques, the node access time is much faster than that in disk-based indexing techniques, because all index nodes reside in a main memory. Unlike disk-based index techniques, main memory-based spatial indexing techniques must reduce key comparing time as well as node access time. In this paper, we propose an efficient spatial index structure for main memory-based databases, called Tmr-tree. Tmr-tree integrates the characteristics of R-tree and T-tree. Therefore, Nodes of Tmr-tree consist of several entries for data objects, main memory pointers to left and right child, and three additional fields. First is a MBR of a self node, which tightly encloses all data MBRs (Minimum Bounding Rectangles) in a current node, and second and third are MBRs of left and right sub-tree, respectively. Because Tmr-tree needs not to visit all leaf nodes, in terms of search time, proposed Tmr-tree outperforms R-tree in our experiments. As node size is increased, search time is drastically decreased followed by a gradual increase. However, in terms of insertion time, the performance of Tmr-tree was slightly lower than R-tree.

Recently, the HFC-CATV network stand in a substructure of superhighway information network. Because of sharing up to 500 of subscribes, the Collision Resolution Algorithm needs in the upstream channel of HFC-CATV network. In order to provide Quality of Service (QoS) to users with real-time data such as voice, video and interactive service, the research of Collision Resolution Algorithm must include an effective priority scheme. In IEEE 802.14, the Collision Resolution Algorithm has high request delay because of static PNA(Priority New Access) slots structure and different priority traffics with the same probability. In order to resolve this problem, this paper proposed dynamic priority collision resolution algorithm with ternary tree algorithm. It has low request delay according to an increase of traffic load because high priority traffic first resolve and new traffic content with different probability. In the result of the simulation, it demonstrated that the proposed algorithm needs lower request delay than that of ternary tree algorithm with static PNA slots structure.

In the past decade, advances in speed of commodity CPUs have iu out-paced advances in memory latency Main-memory access is therefore increasingly a performance bottleneck for many computer applications, including database systems. To reduce memory access latency, cache memory incorporated in the memory subsystem. but cache memories can reduce the memory latency only when the requested data is found in the cache. This mainly depends on the memory access pattern of the application. At this point, previous research has shown that B+ trees perform much faster than T-trees because B+ trees are more cache conscious than T-trees, and also proposed 'Cache Sensitive B+trees' (CSB. trees) that are more cache conscious than B+trees. The goal of this paper is to make T-trees be cache conscious as CSB-trees. We propose a new index structure called a 'Cache Sensitive T-trees (CST-trees)'. We implemented CST-trees and compared performance of CST-trees with performance of other index structures.

In this paper, we derived an efficient indexing scheme, SJ tree, which handles multi-attribute data and spatial join operations efficiently. In addition, a number of algorithms for manipulating multi-attribute data are given , together with their computational and I/O complexity . Moreover , we how that SJ tree is a kind of generalized B-tree. This means that SJ-tree can be easily implemented on existing built-in B-tree in most storage managers in the sense that the structure of SJ tree is like that of B-tree. The spatial join operation with spatial output is benchmarked using R-tree, B-tree, K-D-B tree, and SJ tree. Results from the benchmark test indicate that SJ tree out performance other indexing schemes on spatial join with point data.

Quaternary tree plus multi-type tree (QT+MTT) structure was adopted in the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard as a block partitioning tool. QT+MTT provides excellent coding gain; however, it has huge encoding complexity due to the flexibility of the binary tree (BT) and ternary tree (TT) splits. This paper proposes a fast inter coding unit (CU) partitioning algorithm for BT and TT split types based on prediction accuracy functions using the mean of the absolute error (MAE). The MAE-based decision model was established to achieve a consistent time-saving encoding with stable coding loss for a practical low complexity VVC encoder. Experimental results under random access test configuration showed that the proposed algorithm achieved the encoding time saving from 24.0% to 31.7% with increasing luminance Bjontegaard delta (BD) rate from 1.0% to 2.1%.

Recently, due to rapid increasement of spatial data collected from various geosensors in u-GIS environments, the importance of spatial index for efficient search of large spatial data is rising gradually. Especially, researches based R-Tree to improve search performance of spatial data have been actively performed. These previous researches focus on reducing overlaps between nodes or the height of the R -Tree. However, these can not solve an unnecessary node access problem efficiently occurred in tree traversal. In this paper, we propose a MR-Tree(Mapping-based R-Tree) to solve this problem and to support efficient search of large spatial data. The MR-Tree can improve search performance by using a mapping tree for direct access to leaf nodes of the R-Tree without tree traversal. The mapping tree is composed with MBRs and pointers of R-Tree leaf nodes associating each partition which is made by splitting data area repeatedly along dimensions. Especially, the MR-Tree can be adopted in various variations of the R-Tree easily without a modification of the R-Tree structure. In addition, because the mapping tree is constructed in main memory, search time can be greatly reduced. Finally, we proved superiority of MR-Tree performance through experiments.

In this paper we have proposed a linear time algorithm for solving the minimum sharable-bandwidth tree construction problem. The public-shared network is a user generated infrastructure on which a user can access the Internet and transfer data from any place via access points with sharable bandwidth. Recently, the idea of constructing the SVC video streaming delivery system on public-shared network has been proposed. To send video stream from the stream server to clients on public-shared network, a tree structure is constructed. The problem of constructing a tree structure to serve the video streaming requests by using minimum amount of sharable bandwidth has been shown to be NP-hard. The previously published algorithms for solving this problem are either unable to find solutions frequently or less efficient. The experimental results showed that our algorithm is excellent both in the success rate of finding solutions and in the quality of solutions.

Advances in information and communication technologies have been creating new classes of applications in the area of databases. For example, in moving object databases, which track positions of a lot of objects, or stream databases, which process data streams from a lot of sensors, data Processed in such database systems are usually changed very rapidly and continuously. However, traditional database systems have a problem in processing these rapidly and continuously changing data because they suppose that a data item stored in the database remains constant until It is explicitly modified. The problem becomes more serious in the R-tree, which is a typical index structure for multidimensional data, because modifying data in the R-tree can generate cascading node splits or merges. To process frequent updates more efficiently, we propose a novel update technique for the R-tree, which we call the leaf-update technique. If a new value of a data item lies within the leaf MBR that the data item belongs, the leaf-update technique changes the leaf node only, not whole of the tree. Using this leaf-update manner and the leaf-access hash table for direct access to leaf nodes, the proposed technique can reduce update cost greatly. In addition, the leaf-update technique can be adopted in diverse variants of the R-tree and various applications that use the R-tree since it is based on the R-tree and it guarantees the correctness of the R-tree. In this paper, we prove the effectiveness of the leaf-update techniques theoretically and present experimental results that show that our technique outperforms traditional one.

The general octree structure is common for various applications including computer graphics, geometry information analysis and query. Unfortunately, the general octree approach causes duplicated sample data and discrepancy between sampling and representation positions when applied to sample continuous spatial information, for example, signed distance fields. To address these issues, some researchers introduced the dual octree. In this paper, the weakness of the dual octree approach will be illustrated by focusing on the fact that the dual octree cannot access some specific continuous zones asymptotically. This paper shows that the primal tree presented by Lefebvre and Hoppe can solve all the problems above. Also, this paper presents a three-dimensional primal tree traversal algorithm based the Morton codes which will help to parallelize the primal tree method.

A variety of multimedia applications require multimedia database management systems to manage multimedia data, such as text, image, and video, as well as t support content-based image or video retrieval. In this paper we design and implement a content-based image retrieval system, BADA-IV/I$^2$R(Image Information Retrieval), which is developed based on BADA-IV multimedia database management system. In this system image databases can be efficiently constructed and retrieved with the visual features, such as color, shape, and texture, of image. we extend SQL statements to define image query based on both annotations and visual features of image together. A high-dimensional index structure, called CIR-tree, is also employed in the system to provide an efficient access method to image databases. We show that BADA-IV/I$^2$R provides a flexible way to define query for image retrieval and retrieves image data fast and effectively: the effectiveness and performance of image retrieval are shown by BEP(Bull's Eye Performance) that is used to measure the retrieval effectiveness in MPEG-7 and comparing the performance of CIR-tree with those of X-tree and TV-tree, respectively.
