Abstract

Different structures are used in peer-to-peer networks to represent their inherently distributed, self-organized, and decentralized memory structure. In this paper, a simple range-queriable distributed data structure, called RAQ, is proposed to efficiently support exact match and range queries over multi-dimensional data. In RAQ, the key space is partitioned among the network with n nodes, in which each element has links to O(log n) other elements. We will show that the look-up query for a specified key can be done via O(log n) message passing. Also, RAQ handles range-queries in at most O(log n) communication steps.
