This access is however one of the bottlenecks in large-scale spatial data-centric applications. Distributed spatial indexing structures such as quadtrees have been proposed to help alleviate this bottleneck. Some of the proposed solutions use a static sample of the data to build a quadtree as a directory structure for locating distributed data servers. In this paper, we take into account the process of query redirection during the construction of the distributed quadtree as well as query redirection during a data retrieval process. We propose taking advantage of the static nature of the sample of the data and the use of hashmaps and dilated integers to speed up traversal of the directory. We conduct experiments for construction and data querying and show that both construction and querying performance improves threefold when you compare the new approach to the previously proposed approach. In addition further experiments show that the proposed new approach is much less sensitive to data skewness. Overall our results show that use of dilated integers coupled with hashmaps can improve the performance of distributed spatial indexing structures used to help alleviate the data access bottleneck in big data spatial analytics.","PeriodicalId":176998,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126748070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a new way to generate soft parity bits at the relay. This generation of soft parity bits will be done in two steps and will be made to the Cholesky decomposition for one of the submatrices of the global matrix implemented at the destination. In addition to this generation of two-step, we offer an efficient way/manner to compute the logarithms of the Likelihood Ratio (LLR) to the destination. Simulation results show that this technique has advantages over some previous work.","PeriodicalId":176998,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116732485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
