With the continuous development of LBS (Location Based Service) applications, privacy protection has become an urgent problem to be solved. Differential privacy technology is based on strict mathematical theory that provides strong privacy guarantees where it supposes that the attacker has the worst-case background knowledge and that knowledge has been applied to different research directions such as data query, release, and mining. The difficulty of this research is how to ensure data availability while protecting privacy. Spatial multidimensional data are usually released by partitioning the domain into disjointed subsets, then generating a hierarchical index. The traditional data-dependent partition methods need to allocate a part of the privacy budgets for the partitioning process and split the budget among all the steps, which is inefficient. To address such issues, a novel two-step partition algorithm is proposed. First, we partition the original dataset into fixed grids, inject noise and synthesize a dataset according to the noisy count. Second, we perform IH-Tree (Improved H-Tree) partition on the synthetic dataset and use the resulting partition keys to split the original dataset. The algorithm can save the privacy budget allocated to the partitioning process and obtain a more accurate release. The algorithm has been tested on three real-world datasets and compares the accuracy with the state-of-the-art algorithms. The experimental results show that the relative errors of the range query are considerably reduced, especially on the large scale dataset.

Moving objects in a mobile environment to change their position based on the change of time require a query with their position as a basis. Efficient Regional Decision for Continuous Skyline Queries requires objectively pre-calculating the OSR(Optimal Skyline Region) regardless of the speed and direction of the moving objects. It proposes techniques to reduce the frequency of continuous queries by choosing a VCircle(Validity Circle) as safe location which has radius of the distance to the closest region with position on the moving object at center. But, a VCircle's area varies based on the Moving object's position from first marked time of continuous query. Therefore, the frequency of its continuous query is variable and also when the object moves inside of OSR, query can re-occur frequently In this paper, we suggest a technique of selecting an IVCircle(Interior Validity Circle) in a Skyline Region as the static Safe Region using the characteristics of the OSR. An Interior IVCircle can be calculated in advance when the OSR is decided. Our experiment shows that the frequency of using IVcircle as safe region reduced than that of using VCircle as safe region by 52.55%.

Smart devices linked to high speed networks enable us to obtain location dependent data at anywhere and anytime. In this environment, a wireless data broadcast system can deal with enormous data request from a great number of clients effectively. In order to set up an efficient wireless data broadcast system, various data scheduling and indexing schemes have been proposed. However, a simulation framework to evaluate the schemes is not reported yet. In this paper, we design and develop a simulation framework for a wireless data broadcast system. The developed simulation framework can evaluate quickly a wireless data broadcast system and has scalability to adopt various data scheduling and indexing schemes for wireless data broadcasting.
