Single attribute Join Queries within latest sampling periods in sensor networks

Join processing in wireless sensor networks is a challenging problem. Current solutions are not involved in the join operation among tuples of the latest sampling periods. In this article, we proposed a continuous Single attribute Join Queries within latest sampling Periods (SJQP) for wireless sensor networks. The main idea of our filter-based framework is to discard non-matching tuples, and our scheme can guarantee the result is correct independent of the filters. Experiments based on real-world sensor data show that our method performs close to a theoretical optimum and consistently outperforms the centralized join algorithm.
