BRVST: Efficient and Content-Expressive Information Matching Overlay in   Wireless Networks
  Efficient and flexible information matching over wireless networks has become increasingly important and challenging with the popularity of smart devices and the growth of social-network-based applications. Some existing approaches designed for wired networks are not applicable to wireless networks, due to their overwhelming control overheads. In this paper, we propose a reliable and scalable binary range vector summary tree (BRVST) infrastructure for flexible information expression support, effective content matching and timely information dissemination over the dynamic wireless network. A novel attribute range vector structure has been introduced for efficient and accurate content representation and a summary tree structure to facilitate information aggregation. For robust and scalable operations over dynamic wireless network, the proposed overlay system exploits a virtual hierarchical geographic management framework. Extensive simulations demonstrate that BRVST has a significantly faster event matching speed, while incurs very low storage and traffic overhead, as compared with peer schemes tested.
