A Novel Approach for Improving XML Querying over Wireless Broadcast Channels

The querying of large XML data over wireless broadcast channels can reduce bandwidth utilization, cause significant latency, and produce inefficient energy usage. This paper proposes a scheme to improve XML querying over wireless broadcast channels in order to address the issues mentioned above. Various techniques, including partitioning, load balancing, and query routing, have been combined into one approach. The proposed scheme partitions the XML data stream into several partitions based on criteria like document size, type, or content. Each partition is routed to a separate channel to balance the load on each wireless broadcast channel. A query routing mechanism that directs queries to the right channel or combination of channels that hold the relevant XML data partition was implemented. This study simulates, evaluates, and compares the proposed scheme's performance. The results from the comparison study with existing schemes demonstrate a considerable reduction in the access time for XML querying via wireless broadcast channels.
