Abstract

We address the problem of efficient in-network processing of hybrid spatial queries in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), where the data may correspond to different physical phenomena in different regions. We propose space and communication efficient schemes capable of correlating spatial dimension with different physical values. To trade-off (im)precision vs. energy consumption, the proposed schemes combine rank order statistics, regular sampling, and bitmap representation. We present a proof of concept implementation of the proposed methodology and quantify the benefits of our approach through simulations.
