    Abstract

    With the popularity of mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, mobile users are taking more advantages of mobile computing. Through the applications in mobile devices, mobile users are able to search for the nearby spatial objects like restaurants and hotels. Hence, in this paper, we propose a range-based nearest neighbour search algorithm, which is named as Range-kNN[17]. Our algorithm focuses on expanding the query point to a query range, according to this query range, the interesting objects both inside and outside the query range are retrieved based on a Voronoi-based search algorithm. In the experiment part, our proposed algorithm is proved to be quite efficient and scalable.
